Questions & Answers
I am thinking about mounting this scope on a Ruger AR 556 with a fixed front sight. What height rings should I use? Expert Answer

Extra high height or ideally an AR platform designed one piece mount would put you at the proper height between 1.4" - 1.6". You will notice the front sight in the lower portion of the optic but it will become less noticeable as you move up in magnification.

I'm interested in putting this scope on a 20 gauge slug gun. Have a cantilever on the gun. What height rings should I use for mounting this scope? Manufacturer Answer

On this system, we would recommend the 1" medium-height Pro-Series rings for proper fitment and clearance of objective and magnification ring.

Compact, clear optic at a great price point by dynomike, Verified Owner, October 13, 2015
Bought this to put on a suppressed 300AAC Blackout AR for close to medium ranges. Compact scope fits well, and zoom range is great for this application. Also impressed with the reticle and clarity of the optic. This is my first Vortex scope, but w...

Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 by Billy, January 17, 2015
Good little scope for the money. Mounted on a 30-30 lever gun with XS sight rail and QD rings. The most impressive thing to me is the very high quality turret adjustments. You don't find quality like this even on expensive scopes. Glass is OK to good...

Vortex strikes again! by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner, February 2, 2012
This is my first Vortex scope, and I am quite pleased thus far. Mounted securely with some Vortex rings. Easy to zero and will hold it! Even under PTR.308 recoil! Pros: solid, versatile, user friendly Cons: none so far

Great so far. by ND, December 13, 2020
I put this scope on my AR-15. So far the glass is very clear and adjustments are very crisp and easy. Without bore sighting, I had it sighted in at 100yds within 8 rounds. The reticle is a bit thicker than I like but perfectly acceptable with this...

Nice Glass by Lee, Verified Owner, May 17, 2017
Mounted this scope on two different Marlins, a 336 and a 1985. Used EGW Marlin bases and Vortex medium height rings. Nice set-up for these rifles and the Vortex scopes in 1.75 x 5 are just right for the calibers as well as being excellent optics. ...

Worth every penny by M1AVltor, November 7, 2014
Great scope. Excellent clear scope that has great low light capability. Holds its zero very well and is easy to adjust with audible clicks for the adjusments. Zeroed mine in for 200yds with my M1A and got a decent 3in group. Not bad for a 5x
