Unless somethings drastically changed, I'd get Vortex. Strictly because of warranty should you need it.

The cabelas house brand scopes have a reputation for falling autonomously and being poor quality, I would pick the vortex.

Lots of options on meliorate scopes for that money. Clarity makes up for magnification every day. Even for 1000+ shooting 10-xviii is all you need even on targets as small as 8" steel.

Some of the top tier Cabela�s scopes used to exist made by Meopta, if that�s the case I�d take information technology over the Vortex, only the Vortex has the amend warranty as mentioned. I�m also in understanding about that�s an awful lot of juice for a hunting scope. Good luck on your quest.

Cabelas had some riflescopes chosen Cabelas Euro. They were made from Meopta in Czech republic and were 100 time better than Vortex. Cabela does non say were the actual CX line is being made - it is most likely made in China then as Vortex Strike Eagle models.

Cabelas I accept the covenant seven in the same power. Really similar it-for what I use it for just i feel is it quite large and heavy for hunting. Found mine at a great sale toll. __________________ The two most important days in your life are the day you lot are born and the day you detect out why. ~Marking Twain

At that cost point, if you desire a ballistic turret, I would go with this: https://www.precisionoptics.net/Swar...24_p/59024.htm (Different reticle though)

Getting a 500-600 max range with a 200m zero for that price with a 300wm 180gr is depressing.

In response to the long range hunting craze, many people are now thinking a 2lb scope on a braked rifle is the fashion to go. Personally, I wouldn't put either of those scopes on a hunting rifle. __________________ Merely accurate guns are interesting.

Well guys thank you lot very much for your experienced advices. I decided non to go with Cabelas brand because talking to Cabela�s salesman in the store, I was told that it has a 60 mean solar day warranty and the Cabelas sales man brash me to buy vortex over Cabela�s any fourth dimension. Reading more comments almost it being so heavy and beefy for a hunting scope, I am reconsidering to drib both brands and leaning towards Swarovski or Nightforce. Thank you once again, you are all 😎 awesome

vi.five shooter Bring together Appointment: Oct 2009 Location: Medicine Hat Posts: iii,472

First and only experience with a Cabela'southward "scope" was a fellow shooter at the range on a .270, every time he would shoot, I would hear bang ouch, bang ouch, bang OUCH looked over asked what was wrong? he said every fourth dimension I squeeze the trigger I get the scope in the eye .... (not an inexperienced shooter)..few seconds later on rattle , rattle clang equally his new scope striking the garbage tin can. Personally the Vortex is a "meliorate" scope simply in that location are much meliorate options. __________________ Trades I would interested in: - Sightron rifle scopes, 4.5x14x42mm or 4x16x42mm especially! with the HHR reticle. (no duplex pls.) - older 6x fixed scopes with fine X or target dot. - .22 K Hornet, .17 Hornet (CZ or ?? ) - .22 long range rimfire (CZ, Voodoo, etc.) - Target rifle (Remington or rem clone). - Big shank Savage barrels. (6mm, vi.5mm, 30 BR.)

It'southward very hard to pay that much money for a store brand or mid marketplace brand of scope when you can get meridian of the nutrient concatenation quality in Swaro, Ziess, Leo, etc... IMO.

Alot of scope lens are ground in the Phillipines, only could be fabricated in Bangladesh with equal results. The glass grinding and polishing, the CNC, the Quality Control is all computerized, in other words, no human easily to mess it upwards. Coatings are no industrial secret any more, and with the glass being superlative notch, and the tubes being high quality, alot of the brands are beingness equalled out in characteristic and value and toll. Yet, that leave warranty as the selling feature. We picked up a Vortex four x 12 over the holidays, and it is a very impressive scope. What is more of import is the no haggle lifetime warranty. I practise non need an statement on whether the failure was abuse or not. Drewski

Thanks once again, you are all 😎 awesome Much better thinking. Add the Zeiss Conquest V4 to your list also. There are big differences in telescopic lenses, components, and technology between different manufacturers. Lifetime warranties from the large names is commonplace, and the best warranty is the one that's never needed. Proficient luck with your decision whichever way you become...

Vortex I tried both on a 308, within 100 rounds the cabelas covenant went so blurry ya couldn�t see through it, so I exchanged information technology and information technology went on a .223. Put the vortex diamond back on my 308 and information technology works actually well, only the reticle is not as nice in the cabelas covenant. But it will out shoot me. That�s my $2 worth, cause ya tin�t buy nothing for $0.02 anymore lol. 😁 __________________ I tin can't beget an armed body guard, so I will exercise that task myself! http://www.youtube.com/sentry?v=3OtFQKevxuM

NINJABABY I recollect you made the right choice. I would take looked at the Razor 3-15 LHT for 400 more. Allow u.s.a. know how yous like the Strike Eagle it seems like it should exist a practiced scope. I am withal testing a Covenant v-25x56 I bought it was a lot cheaper. Thus far it even so works but maybe my vii mag volition tell the truth.
