I am a Vortex fan myself.
Know of a shop that has the Vortex 15X Recon R/T 15x50 Monocular ? They seem to be as rare as a three balled cat here in Texas.

Yep. Nice clear glass.
I shoot a US Optics on one of my long range rifles. $3k scope. Was building another shooter and a bud of mine talked me into looking at the Vortex line.
Spent a little over $1k and had all the bells and whistles that the US Optics had and was almost as good. Will see if it will stand the rigors of abuse that the US Optics has been put through but I believe it will.
I recently bought a couple pairs of their binos and really are liking them.
