Others Vector optics quality question

[Blam62]

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Vector Optics products. Especially interested in hearing how they range and whether the turrets have a decent tension when clicking

Thanks!

I have been using the Continental 5-30x56 34 mm FFP on 4 of my rifles the past 2 years and lately added the new 6-48x56 30 mm SFP to a couple of my rifles

They track very well and turrets have a very positive click

I have several Vector Optics scopes. I don’t dial turrets after zeroing so I can’t speak to the tracking. The glass and parallax knobs (ranging) are good on mine. I installed throw levers on mine and they range nicely. The knobs seem to be marked appropriately for ranging. I like the 3-12x44 Vector Veyron and the 5-30x56 Continental both in FFP. I don’t care for the 4-16x44 Vector Veyron. I use mine for hunting purposes.

If you can have a look at athlon. I have a helos 6-24x56 ffp for hunter ft and a ares 4.5 -30 x56 for bench and hp ft. Love them both I think they are as good or better than some much more expensive scopes.Both have 34mm tubes

Well that helped. I get it. Optics are tough as its not one fits all. I have a Sightron SIII 10-60 FT on my Thomas in FL. Need good optics for my Steyr LG110 used at my northern home. Still hoping for an S6 as discussed in another post but need something in the meantime

Well maybe like gamo and the warranty stages used . There best covered guns are there best guns

1 year . Mhaa... Cheap

5 year . Maybe somthing kinda ok

Lifetime . Probably there better solid optics units ..

Have you ever used a Sightron SIII 10-50 FT? If so, how would you compare it to the Athlon?

i have not only a few cheepies i have a bushnell and a nickon Simmons and the hawke.
and i would rather stay with the milldot scope retcle and if i recall the sightron was MOA but i could be wrong
i did look into the sightron when i was first looking for a scope for my EVOL

They have mil hash as well as MOA

i did not see that i am just looking the one you mention and it states the retcle as MOA also its is a SFP so a no go for me.

This is funny. The OP wants to read on user experiences with the quality of Vector Optics scope. Y’all are all over the place.

Vector could not really answer if there scopes will hold up on a springer .

Why in air guns a guy best stick with no questions asked lifetime warranty brands ( opinion)

@Hateful McNasty Which Vector Scopes have you used? I guess a question about use in a springer is a concern for someone looking to mount a scope on a springer.

@Blam62 Is your Steyr LG110 a springer? If warranty is a a concern, check into the link below. Rifle Scope & Red Dot Sight Manufacturer- Vector Optics

Steyr is a PCP. Currently set up for WFTF

@Blam62 I looked it up. Very nice looking rifle. Best thing I can tell you that I learned when it comes to scope shopping is it’s good to read what others have to say, but they don’t have your eyes. I bought a decent amount of scopes based upon my reading of what others had to say. A lot of those scopes I don’t even use. I tend to listen more to what people have to say who shoot how I like to shoot and shoot similar types of guns. Once I learned how to evaluate a scope for my purposes I stopped placing so much stock in what many folks on forums had to say. If you own a Steyr, you may already know more than I did at the point you’re at now, but just thought i’d share if it might save you a few bucks and some space.

I've not ... They can't seem to understand that springer rated part . CO2 or PCP I guess it's not a concern and any would do on one of them ..

Another point that might help is to check on Amazon for different scopes that you might be interested in and then check on who is the seller. I was surprised to find that there was a gun shop that sold many different high end brands about 1/2hr- 45 min away and was able to have a look before buying.

 

[pan60]

maybe buy from someone with a return policy?
i bought a used Hawke had to send it in warrenty upgraded to a FFP ( i just did not like the SFP ) eneded up spendinging as much as as what new scope like i wanted in the first place would have been and still have a scope i do not care for.
i dont the the Hawke is bad but when it is next to the Athlon the differance is WOW!
so long and short but from someone who will allow for a return.
