I can't recall any instances where I could I.D. a roo (or possible roo) with my eyes or binos, when I wasn't able to find and get a clear enough picture to confirm or discard it through the scope.

    It has been very very nice under the spotlight, allowing me to make definite ID's at reasonable distances at night when my brother has been unable to do so with his Vortex Diamondback. (which also has good glass and features for its price point) Or in shadowy patches during the day when the binos have raised my suspicions, but it wasn't until I scoped it up that I could confirm a roo.

    Bottom line - I'm very happy with my Vortex, and while it is my first decent scope so I don't have much to compare it to, it's definitely not sub-standard glass.


    Mine is the Viper HS LR 4-16x44 with Dead-hold BDC
    That is great news i have one on the way but not lr as i wanted turret caps.
