Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 vs Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40

[Spring1898]

For a budget scope which would you choose and why?
The Vortex is made in China
Bushnell is made in Korea.

Vortex simply just for the warranty.

I owned both scopes. the crossfire II is not a bright clear scope. kind of like a aged weaver scope. the bushnell is a big and goophy. looks like I screwed a bunch of odd size tubes together in my basement. bushnell however is much brighter clearer unit.

I'd keep looking and find a way to up my budget. Starting at $200 MSRP is where you get decent scopes and you can often find them discounted pretty close to what you're looking at. Anything with a MSRP below $200 is wasting money IMO.

I see these discounted closer to $150 at times.

Burris ff2, Vx-F, Trophy, and way last, crossfire 2.
Natches has some deals running on Nikon's as well. the plain BDC scopes are a good value for the cost and I'd choose one of those over a trophy or a CF2.
