I toss in another good word for Vortex. I happen to live near Middleton and happened to go in and check out their stuff. Kinda tough to find anything better for the price you pay. One thing to consider is their warranty. I cut and paste it right from their site. I doubt you can top this:
Our warranty is about you, not us. It's about taking care of you after the sale. The VIP stands for
Very
Important
Promise to you (our customers) that we will do the following:
Repair or replace your Vortex product for any reason at NO CHARGE TO YOU. It doesn't matter how it happened, whose fault it was, or where you purchased it.
- Unlimited lifetime Warranty
- Fully transferable
- No warranty card to fill out
- No receipt needed to hang on to
Just someting else to consider, service after the sale...
