I have read several post about the Vortex Viper scopes,and everyone seems to have good things to say about them.
How does the quality of the lenses compare to a Zeiss Conquest,Trijicon Accupoint,Bushnell Elite 4200/6500,or Swarovski AV series scopes.
I'm looking at scopes with magnification in the 5/6x20/24 range to go on a 25/06 Tactical rifle.
There are just so many choices nowadays and not everyone carries all the brands or has them in stock to compare. I have a Swarovski PH 4x16 on another rifle and so I'm kinda partial to them because I know the quality of the scope,but the Zeiss Conquest is nice also.
 
If the Vortex has decent glass,I might just have to try one.

Vortex runs the whole range of prices from affordable to sticker shock. They are better glass than most others at the same price point but they are not going to be Euro Zeiss quality still they are quite nice for the price.

I agree with Wes, all the scopes listed above are solid performers, but if your used to the Swaro Ph level of quality you might be best served by something directly comparable to this price point.
