New rifle decision to make, need advise

[cclfn]

I saw another scope I will consider when I get to the point of buying a FX.  Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24.  FFP, side focus, MOA or mil rad and $399.  Cyclops, who is not a Vortex fan in general, even likes the similar model (didn't review this one exactly).  50mm objective. 

Seems quite similar to Element Helix but from a bigger manufacturer of scopes and for less money.

I was raised on Leupolds as they are built in my backyard and I have progressed with their updated models over the years.  Of late I have wandered a bit due to prices and less field use.  I have owned the Vortex Diamondback and can say the glass is not the same clarity as the Element Helix and the clicks on the Vortex were kind of mushy.  I have not ventured into the FFP yet but I can say that the internal build of the dials on the elements scope was a serious design feature.  I believe they use stainless steel pins rather than brass which gives very solid clicks.

They are a new company but they have some very well know air gunners involved in the design features and if you watch Mat on youtube he does a nice intro story about the company. 

Good luck on your search.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I really did like the look of the turrets and zero stop feature on the Helix, the tracking is quite good and per Cyclops, they took the criticism and upgraded the issues that were voiced on the SFP Helix. If the image is clear where the christmas tree reticle is I'm not concerned about a little aboration around the outside edge.
