Nice!  I only have a cheap vortex bino and a cheap rangefinder

Neesh
I googled vector and it looks like they entered the US market about 2007.  I didn’t see any video reviews of it done by anyone on yt that I recognize.  A good portion of the reviews were by airgun people.  Heard they are okay…nothing outstanding…or hitting above its weight.  Vector seems to be in the same price range as vortex.  As of about 2022 they didn’t have any offices in the US so I assume have to ship stuff overseas if there are any issues.  I’ll keep a look out….as they get more reviews maybe I’ll get one if they ever start to outshine vortex’s price/reputation/warranty.  Tnx for the heads up!

They're claim lifetime warranty as well but never tried but saw it mentioned numerous times on YT. I am trying the viridian 3-18x Mylex and seems not bad. I think BNR carries some Vector as I saw it on IG so maybe u can ask them. Some has German glass but not sure which ones

Check out OP. They have some nice scopes for a good price. Not sure about all but some are rebranded Vector Optics.

The ones I saw at Lowe’s were a “Fortress” and a “Cannon.”  Heard of Cannon, never heard of Fortress. Cannon was a 48-gun safe, $1429. Fortress was a 24-gun for $1000.
They had fortress one on clearance for 849 yesterday

Nice! Wish Glock came out with the 47 earlier.
Did the same with my ss mr920L and xr920...four configuration. Would've gotten the 47 and save some $ since I already got a 19

Recently got this with the optics cut for my wife's pew pew...runs fine with select ammo.
 Also had the earlier conversion without the optics cut...got em on 2 g26 and 3 g19...all ran fine....I did polish the barrel and made sure it was well lubed so everything ran smoothly. I ran hers with a holosun scs...mounts directly to the slide with no plates

I'll post some pics of the size comparison between the three when I get ahold of my buddy's standard p365 over the weekend. Can't go wrong with any of these for CCW.
Here's a comparison of the p365XL spectre and the CR920 for now.

Shot the cr920, P365XL spectre and p365 today to compare....
CR felt nice in the hand, trigger pull felt nice while dry firing but I didn't like the feel of the trigger shoe itself. For me it was uncomfortable on my trigger finger but didn't bother my friend who also tried it. Little snappy and not like shadow claims it shooting like a compact...real close recoil felt almost like the p365. Extended mag helped alot...definitely not as soft as a compact though.  Did about 150 rds of the 200 rd break in required with no malfunctions other than 1 stove pipe. I still prefer the P365XL  out of all 3.
Size wise is right in between both sigs.
Grip length is very close to a standard p365 with the flush mags. Slide length a tad longer but compared to the xl, alot smaller and just as thin...wish SS will come out with pinky finger extensions for the flush mag or even 10 rd extended mags like the 13rd ones.
Going from the CR directly to the MR920....man the MR is so sweet to shoot.
As for my go to carry gun? I'd go with a p365X with longer grip and short slide. Sig trigger is mushy during dry fire but not noticeable during live fire.
During the session, I realized how bad my eyes were shooting with irons...got spoiled by red dots on my compacts. Will definitely add a red dot on the CR920 for back up carry gun.

I just got it on Thursday but didn't get to fire it yet. Hope it's as good as my xr920 and mr920L...although reports have been opposite with the butt barrel..we see how the updated one works out...hopefully get to it on 4th of July. Loving the xr tho...with the mr920L and the xr, the slides are interchangeable making them into a dr920 and a mr920...very versatile like having 4 different configurations...hoping the cr won't disappoint

Shadow Systems CR920 is peaking my interest. They are super good as a company. The older design "butt barrels" might have a reliability issue. No major, but some guns using X ammo have it. The problem didnt show up in their testing.

So they will send u a new barrel (no butt) with return postage. They dont want u to send in the barrel or gun 1st cause they dont want u to be without a gun. So its an honor system return that u will sens back the butt barrel.

Got the new version, no butt barrel...wish they made an optional 10 rd mag like the 13 rounder...or better yet, wish we could use the 13 rounder

I would say be cautious of where u buy ammo from. 1 saturday, had 3 peoples guns explode at KHSC.

The Slap rounds he used were not loaded correctly.

Shoot n c targets are the way to go.

Midwayusa usually always have it on sale. Get free shipping if you spend 49 bucks or more and the total weight is under 1 lb. Is usually the deal they always have. If you go over 1 lb. Keep adding to cart til you feel 10 dollars for shipping is worth it, granted you already have 49 bucks worth of free shipping items.

Yep those are the ones I've been using..good stuff!

I went through a similar period of buying cheap optics. I bought two spotting scopes that were no good at 100 yds when shooting .22/.223 at a black target. While shooting at a white target was marginally better. So was shooting at one of those targets that show a color when penetrated by a bullet. Still it was tough. So instead of buying new more expensive optics I started buying used more expensive optics. I ended up with a Leupold spotting scope in the same magnification as the two cheap scopes and I could easily see the holes in a black target. I also stopped buying cheap red dots and cheap rifle scopes.

Life is too short to deal with cheap optics.  :rofl:
Funny because I just realized that the reason I couldn't see some homes were because I used black board for my target stand....gonna change em to white now...good point!

Yeah.  Helpful to have folks that have learned the hard (or more expensive) lesson along the way.  I know I certainly did a lot of the "try this" and "try that".  With many things in firearms, I'm am very much one who wants to try for myself.  That's especially true with optics.  That's one where once you look through better optics, it can lead to severe "the wants". 

Keep context and use in mind.  Sounds like you'll be spotting mostly in the 25-50 yard distance range.  That said, shooting .22 lr at 50 and 100 yards can definitely benefit from the better range of optics.
Yep, starting that phase now since I've been "exposed" to nice glass....gotta dump a couple of my more budget scopes now so I can get at least one nice that's higher end.

Good point...we'll be shooting 22lr and 556 on the rifle side and 9mm/22lr on the pistol side. I should learn from you as I tend to go cheap at first and then end up spending more later as I find something better...wasting both time and $

Thanks guys...
Yes only use is for kokohead....will be using it when I spot for the kids or solo when I go by myself so I like the idea from the photos Ren.
The konus was actually in my cart at palmetto mainly because I liked the price and to be honest, I know zero about these so thanks for the recommendations!

Hey guys,  went to the range recently after 3 years and really noticed how much my eyes had aged since.  Now I'm interested in picking up a budget spotting scope that'll help with seeing where I am on paper vs waiting for the all clear to check targets. What's your recommendation for something affordable as I don't frequent the range that often but planning on taking my grown kids for some range time with their new toys from Christmas. I've been eying out the Athalon Talos at under $150 but debating if I should spend the coin on a leupold sx2 at $399....any input is much appreciated
