Never used a Vector, have lots of Leupold, Swaro, Zeiss, and hiigher end Bushnell like the 6500 and Elite series. What magnification range are you looking for. Reason I ask is, the higher the magnification the more critical glass quality becomes.

The reviews seem to be good. I ordered one a few months ago, and before it got here I chickened out and sent it back. If I could have returned it when it got to my hands I would have loved to look through it. Lots like them on youtube.

Its going on my 25/06 was looking at 3-9 40 or something in that range. I was checking out bushnell this morning also
On my other rifles all my scopes run around the 1300 to 1800 range was hoping to not spend that much for a quad/truck gun
I seen that swamp donkey sells the vector brand

I wasn’t sure about the Vector scope until I tried one. Bought a rifle from swamp donkey and wanted to get the Vortex but Martin gave me the Vector and kicked me outside to try it. I ended up buying it. MAN I LOVE THIS SCOPE! I am going to sell my Leopold that I have on my 22-250 and buy another one of Vectors. Awesome glass! Love all the adjustments. Haven’t used the illuminated red dot function yet. But everything else is awesome.

Of the two choices offered I would recommend Leupold.

Have a look at Tract I like it better than my Vortex and sold my Leupold VX3i to get it and couldn't be happier.

I have bought a few Vectors over the years just to try them out of curiosity, they work well for the most part.
One had non locking turrets, but fir a scope just for a "range rifle" for banging steel they work perfectly .
The ones I tried tracked well though ,and were repeatable .
Not a fan of FFP or milradian scopes however.
