Great scope for the price - Vector Optics Reaper 6-24x50mm Rifle Scope

I was a little reluctant to go with a name brand that I had not previously heard of but I really liked all the features. Now, I own dozens of high end optics including the regular brands but also several Carl Zeiss, Steiner, Swarovski, etc, but am always looking for a reasonably priced scope that not only works well but can hold a zero, take some shock, and have clear optics. I'd say that the Vector Reaper fills all of these requirements fairly well. It's no Zeiss Conquest but is also one twentieth the price. After several failed, defective Vortex's, I "pulled the trigger" on the Vector and haven't been dissapointed. I have since purchased 4 more and have only had a problem with one of them on the turret set screws (they could tighten better when resetting your zero). Other than that, the paralax on the side is great but a little touchy and not as precise as I'd want it to be. After testing at least 40 different +- $100 scopes, the Vector Reaper has my highest score to date.
