Vortex Sonora Second Focal Plane Riflescopes

Very simple and nice glass, especially for the low price. Eye relief is great for me. I’d buy it again!

This is a great product. I did extensive reading and asking questions to decide which scope to go with for my hunting rifles and I selected this one. It’s very affordable. It’s about 30% cheaper than some of the other ones. I also found out from the company that makes them that they it’s actually the more expensive model if they just took the name off of and put the name Sonora on it to kind of capture customers in the southwest area of the United States so you’re paying less for what would be $50-$75 more I’ve had absolutely no problems with it and I just bought my fifth one. I’m gonna have all of my stuff have the same ones so I’m very pleased with it.

I bought this last year to add to my deer rifle. After one year of using it both at the range and hunting I can say I am more than satisfied. It is super clear and good in low light. Its lighter than a few of my other scopes, so it helps me when trekking further in the brush. Its also rugged. My rifle took a fall off of our 4 wheeler when a strap broke. Dented the scope but still shot sub moa. Because it had a decent dent I reached out to Vortex and they sent me a new scope free of charge (They even threw in a hat). Great company, great scope.

I will give it five stars, but it does have a slight blur issue but other than that, it’s a pretty good scope. I recommend it.

Ive always had Nikon scopes until they quit making them then I switched to Vortex, I have a crossfire II, diamondback, and this sonora. I didn’t expect much due to the low cost but I believe it’s clearer than the crossfire 2! It holds zero on my .270 without issue! The “unconditional, unlimited, lifetime warranty” that vortex offers is what sold me. I’m a disabled combat veteran, unlike the non combat veterans I can’t afford top of the line equipment so I’m grateful for a quality scope that I can afford with a great warranty to back it up!

I have yet to shoot anything with it, but it is very light weight and I can see clearly at far distances… better than any other scopes I’ve been using and it focuses even with my very poor eyesight.. More expensive, but seems to be worth it

I bought this for a 10/22. I normally shoot @50 yards. the fact that I can't adjust the parallax bums me out because I am slightly out of focus. Otherwise I am close up and personal @50. Someone with better eyes could use it at 100 yards no problem. it is set for 100 yard parallax. I kept it because I liked the warranty and quality. I liked it enough that I then bought the Vortex diamond back with the parallax adjustment for a larger firearm and I love that thing! Vortex is the best middle of the road scope you buy in my opinion and I have seen and used many. doesn't break the bank and they do stand behind the product.

Installed the scope on a Savage 17HMR and then tried it out. The scope has great eye relief and the turrets are easy to turn by hand. However they don't make the normal clicking sound you get with other scopes. The glass is clear and the reticle is BDC which is great. But I do not feel the glass is as good as quality as you get with a Nikon or a Burris which are both within the same price range. Vortex has the best warranty if you were to drop it out of a tree and it broke they would fix or replace it with no questions asked. All in all at the price of this scope it will make a great choice for any hunter who hunts under 300 yards.
