I think it's over-designed. Simple is better. Plain black chapter ring, matte bezel, etc.

Agreed, dump the HE valve and add drilled lugs.

I'd hit it as is, although agree with the above mods as well. I would also paint the entire seconds hand red... when you're on the move (even just doing sit ups) it's often hard to see the tiny tip of a seconds hand - I like the whole thing to stand out.

I had my old vortex modified with the "U1 treatment" and I thought it looked cool

Just curious if anyone picked this up and if so, what's your thoughts? I miss my original Vortex and stumbled across this model over at WUS. While doing a google search for the model, DWC came up on this thread.

thanks

even more people sir. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..Always just loved the controlled aggression
way of these. Honestly didn't know about this new version either, so thanks

It’s from two years ago. Someone just bumped this to the top. The original link no longer works, so who knows if it is still available.

Ya, I bumped it guys wondering if anyone picked this up and their thoughts on it. 39mm seems a bit small as the original Vortex I has was a decent size for me and I think that one was 43 or even 44mm case.

No worries Jim. ..Unfortunately I didn’t pick one up. :( But think these
still look great, and have, or had the same feel as yours. :)
