Vortex Recon Review

Vortex Recon

Here is my review of the Recon R/T  15×50.  First here is a bit of background on myself. I am a Staff Sergeant in the U.S Army Infantry and know all about the abuse equipment must be able to handle to survive in the field with us. I am currently deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom to the mountains of Afghanistan. I use the Recon R/T daily on combat missions. I have drug it through the rain, snow and mud at 10,000ft above sea level without incident. The Ranging reticle is a real life saver……literally. Recon gives  you the ability to rapidly acquire targets and within seconds get an accurate range on human silhouettes without having to push buttons or worry about not getting a reading from a non-reflective target which commonly happens with laser range finders. If you’re faced with a non silhouette type target you have the option of using the MRAD reticle to MIL your targets. The clarity of the Recon R/T is unrivaled by any handheld monocular I have ever used. The crispness of the image really makes a difference in my line of work. The anti-reflective coating on the lenses is key when being used in a combat environment; the Recon R/T lets you see without being seen. Vortex has given you the choice on which side you want to mount the hand strap on to accommodate both right and left handed people. There are also 3 mounting options for the utility clip which leaves the user options when mounting the Recon R/T to their kit. Though I have not used the tripod or the picatanny rail mount I’m sure those will perform just as the rest of the kit, flawlessly. The Recon R/T is worth its weight in gold when it comes to a piece of combat gear that I would not go on mission without. I would recommend this optic to any war fighter or sportsman alike. Last but not least is the unconditional warranty provided by Vortex Optics which I personally have had the pleasure of dealing the customer service of Vortex Optics which is second to none. I give the Vortex Optics Recon R/T 15×50 a 5 stars, 2 thumbs up review.

Sincerely,

A Soldier and a Sportsman

ARLINGTON, TX, February 10, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ — 2011 Witnessed Webyshops.com having a record setting year. While every company works to improve sales each year, Webyshops.com saw their formula of outstanding customer service, quick shipping, wide selection of quality products, knowledgeable associates and low prices push their sales to quadruple 2010′s sales. This sales growth even surpassed anticipated forecast by twenty percent. Webyshops doesn’t anticipate the records to stop with the 2011 year, they are trending to double sales again in 2012.

“2011 was a pivotal year for us. We had to prove to our vendors that we knew what we were talking about when we asked them for support in terms of financing and inventory. We also had to prove to our customers that we could deliver the level of service they expect from the likes of Zappos and Amazon. We even joked internally, that we ARE the Zappos of the outdoor industry. In the end, it was through patronage of our customers, support of our vendors and relentless dedication to each and every customer by our small, but committed crew that we were able to exceed all the goals we set for ourselves in spite of tough economic and retail conditions. We look forward to another great year in 2012, as we build upon the projects that were launched last year,” states Mikhail Orlov, Webyshops.com.

Sales weren’t the only thing that showed tremendous growth. The Webyshops.com team also grew to double its original size. The team growth hasn’t stopped yet. In order to keep up with the sales growth, staff will also increase at least twenty-five percent in 2012.
