Vector Veyron 4-16 x44 ffp and Vector Continental 3-18x 50 ffp.
Not sure why I haven't tried one of the newer VO scopes as it had been well over a decade since I had one.

I saw the post by VO and figured, why not give a review because if I didn't like them it wouldn't matter about a credit at their store so why not give my opinion.

I purchased the Veyron 4-16 to try out on the Slash as it's so small and light that I thought it wouldn't add much weight and bought one.

I had it out at the range and found it more than acceptable in clarity at my standard 50 yard distance.

It seems to be worth well more that the purchase price compared to many others out there I've tried over the last several years.

The reticle is very simple and easy to sight in and shoot at that distance. I started having some issues when I stretched out a bit farter, which this rifle is capable of.
So I was asking about Athlons.. So well received and was about to purchase one (still may one day) to try on the Slash when I saw some good reviews of the Continental.
I have a friend over the pond who has mentioned them to me before as being very clear and high value for the price.

So I bought one and leveled it on the Slash to try this week at the range.
What I can say about the clarity is WOW! It really must be Schott glass because it edges out my other Japanese glass scope and really is super bright.
I think it will give me a bit more distance as it is clearer than the Veyron and 18X v 16X .
The build quality is also better than that other brands particular scope and this is always a big issue for me.

The only "not really" complaint, but more of a suggestion is maybe a little more tactical feel on the windage and elevation knobs. The aren't mushy or anything but I wish they clicked a bit louder than they do. This isn't really a negative but just a personal preference thing as they match the Vortex almost exactly is this regard. Just my thoughts.
But suffice to say, I'm thinking about replacing one of my scopes with another one.

I just recently picked up a vector Veyron 6-24. The reason i chose this scope was its size, its 11.6 inches long and weighs 20oz. I've only used it once so i cant give it an honest opinion yet, but so far I've have no complaints, its definitely clear, and the turret clicks are good. For the money you can't really go wrong.
