[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 67483, member: 412"] No, you're having a conversation with someone who doesn't have any emotion tied up into purchases. I'm also someone who's seen advertising campaigns and sponsorships cause inferior products rocket to the top. Then, when they decide to reduce sponsorships and advertising as a cost cutting measure their loyalists get left holding the bag because without all the advertising the company just fades away. Simmons and Swift would be the 2 most recent examples. B&L deciding that Bushnell was more profitable and dropping their name from the line so as not to tarnish the B&L good name within non sporting optics instruments would also be a good example. The bulk of Vortex's line and sales are NOT Razor. The bulk of their sales are crossfire and diamondback which do indeed play in the BSA/Barska space. I surely wouldn't own a Viper over say a similarly priced Zeiss, Leupold, Burris, or Bushnell 6500. In fact, I'd buy a pre-Blount used Weaver V-16 before I'd buy a Viper. [/QUOTE]
