I'm just wondering if the .25 moa dot will look huge at 300 plus yards?
Shooting groups out to 300 yards with a 34-25 power scope they aren't bad. I don't exactly recall if I've used them for score shooting with the 36 power scopes yet.

What are the discounts on Promotive? Do I need an access code?Also great discounts on Promotive. Really happy with my Vortex products so far.

How are the reticles on the Vortex? They look tough for long range shooting compared to the open diamonds of the SWFA reticles. I am going to sell my Vortex 2.5-10x and upgrade for more magnification but I'm torn.
Currently between these two scopes:
FFP:

Thoughts?
I suppose one negative is they make other manufacturers look bad by not footnoting their lifetime guarantee with "electronics excluded".Vortex, I have absolutely zero experience with, outside what I've read. That all seems good so far. I'd check to see what's said about them before buying one, just to make sure. But, I don't remember anything real negative about them.
Nickle, any thoughts on the SWFA glass vs Vortex or Leupold in the "under $1k" range?
I'm thinking:
-SWFA 3-15x is the best glass for the $, FFP, side focus, nice reticle; great reviews. The next step up is the 5-20x for twice the money and comes in illuminated.
-Vortex has the 4-16x & 6-24x at similar price points but the glass is not as clear and the reticle is not as thin or nice.
-Leupold also has some scopes in this range but their reticles are ancient in this price range.
I'm going to disagree with this. I just purchased a Vortex Viper FFP 4x16-50 and put it on my FN Special Police in 308. I also have a Leupold Mark 4 in 4.5x14-50 on my Rock River Arms LAR8 (AR10 variant). I set them up side by side to see how well the glass compared. To me the Leupold had the better glass, but not by a big margin. I don't have any experience with SWFA, but do have 3 different Leupolds and so far I'm satisfied with adding the Vortex to the family.
