Vortex Optics

It's by Light Optical Works.

Now, Light Optical makes a lot-- They make a lot of stuff for Vortex.

They make Nightforce benchrest scopes.

They used to make all the Nightforce scopes.

It's kicking in.

So, um, what the hell was I talking about? Well, to sum it up, you can get different quality grades from Chinese stuff.

And, um, you know, your Discovery optic is obviously making mini vortex scopes because they have, they have cut and pasted paragraphs from Vortex's website about the scopes that they made for Vortex, and they forgot to take the Vortex name out.

I don't know if they fixed that yet, but they knew they could stand behind it because they knew they were the ones who made it.

Little eight, eight by, uh, 32?

They're Vortex Diamondbacks, but they're the little ones

Yeah, eight by 32s or eight by 28s.

I can't remember.

[gentle music] Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast, brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment, and good food.

[upbeat music] What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic.

Mr.

They're now the rule.

Um, that it's, it's a rare sight when we go to a training class where we see somebody who doesn't have an optic on their pistol.

Um, it's, it's taken a long time to get the technology to, to meet the reliability that we needed, and we'll talk definitely about why we selected the Vortex Optics here to match on there.

Um, but now, uh, there's no question that you are gonna be a far more capable shooter with an optic on your pistol than you would without.

You know, I grew up in the days of iron sights, and I pride myself in, in the, you know, amount of time and effort I took to learning how to shoot well with that.

Well, look at the

Vortex with their

system for the military.

Right, right.

just

you.

No, no. It's going to be Vortex.

It's going to be – And

If people want to find you, what's the best place to do

that? So I work over at Vortex.

We put a lot of our stuff out on the Vortex Nation podcast.

Mark Boardman hosts that and does a really good job.

Every now and then we share these hunting stories over there too.

tcl guy um take out a crew a guy trying to rob them at a gas station like four in the morning so it's pretty wild but no um we do not get a whole lot of long range unfortunately for where i'm at the longest range you can typically find is 100 maybe 200 max so it's not very um hunter-savvy or hunter-friendly.

But fortunately for me and the position I'm in and the connections I've made through First Form and friends and kind of the whole ecosphere of fitness and hunting and all that, I have a good friend at Vortex Optics who got me set up with a range day.

They have a range all the way up at 1,000 yards.

So we brought my .308 up there that I originally bought for whitetail hunting in the UP of Michigan.

They wouldn't accept it at the one, sent it to a Bass Pro Shop.

That one Bass Pro Shop is like one in the entire country that doesn't do it either.

So I actually took last Monday and drove up to Wisconsin again to Vortex headquarters.

to use their ffl to transfer it over and then we went back to the range for a second range day and just made sure everything was set up and he gave me kind of a whole spiel on emrad because i was moa based and now we're good to go so we basically said we're kind of good up to 800 yards i won't shoot at 800 yards just because too many variables um but just from his expertise and his guidance he goes you could probably shoot out to five and you'd be completely comfortable so Then it's still pretty far, I think, for outdoor, but we'll see.
