Anyone using Vortex Crossfire II?

Hi fellas I'm building my second 10/22 which is a off hand plinking/steel/squirrel gun. I already have my bench 10/22 so this will only be for offhand. I've spent days reviewing scopes and the last 3 I've narrowed it down to are:
Vortex crossfire II 2-7x32
Nikon prostaff 2-7x32
Nikon prostaff 4x32

I'm really leaning towards the vortex and have a few of there other products which are amazing and the warranty is awesome. I just can't find many reviews on the scope. I found a few bad reviews on version I but not the newest model II.

Not sure about the Vortex. The ones I have looked through at the local shop were clear. But, the new Prostaff's are also very clear. My new Prostaff seems a lot clearer than my older model. Both have great warranties.

I checked both the nikon and vortex out yesterday at bass pro however they didn't have the magnification I was looking for. To be honest I think the vortex had better glass and they were both stamped made in Philippines. I also called vortex and they explained the crossfire II was completely redesigned. Does anyone have a vortex II 2-7x32 that can tell me where it says it was made. I'm concerned about buying one Online and receiving a made in china scope.

Is there any chance that the Vortex you were looking at was actually a Diamondback?

It was a vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 priced at $149.99. It was marked made in the Philippines which would make sense if it was a diamondback, maybe they had the wrong tag on the scope!

for whatever it's worth, both the vortex and the nikon's have just about the largest rear ocular bells of any scopes I have seen. They make look funny on a 10/22.

Update: thanks for all the help guys. I couldn't decide between crossfire and prostaff so I bought both! The nikon has won the spot on my off hand rig and the crossfire was returned for a refund.
The crossfire was a very good looking scope but the nikons crystal clear glass and better eye relief was perfect. I also couldn't stand how hard the power ring was to turn on the crossfire.
I really like the vortex products and have a few of there other products however this is there lowest line made in china and didn't cut it for me.
