I got one on a rifle I had bought,it was pretty good ,then I picked up another 10x 50mm fixed,what a big heavy scope it is for a 10x fixed.Also got a 10x44mm Optisan Viper nice....I really do not know where they rank,I know I got great deals on them.

I like vectors, never tried an option.
Arken, Vector, and Vortex are my go to scopes

Very successfully shot with OPTISAN Vipers in Hunter class Field Target for nearly 10 years !! Now this with the 3-12x44 & 4-16x50, there glass while not the sharpest, did Parallax range better than anything else found or tried used at 12x & 16x magnification.
The Optisan EVX series that came next after the Vipers were obsolete had clearer / sharper glass, but ranging was no where as good as the Vipers.

I just bought a new Vector Veyron 6-24x44Ir SFP mil gid recticle..$167.00 on alliexpress.. I loved the recticle, the glass quality was good for the price.. It held up on my Airforce Condors..Not the same story with my .510 Texan 3-6 shots and it wrecked the scope..I got a new one under warranty but with the Veyron warranty i think you only get one replacement under your 5 year warranty.. So im kinda scared to use my new veron replacement scope...If it breaks i through them both in garbage and out $167.00.. I hope to be wrong but that the way i understand it... The chinese scopes are almost breaking instantly from the recoil of the .510 Texan.. Scopes that take the recoil are Nikon tactical and Sightmarkwraith Digital scope.. I tried a Monstrum Challenger on my .510 three shots scope ruined .. I just bought a Athlon talos used and it has better glass than the Vector Veyron.. The vectors not bad but the Athlon talos is better. I used to have good scopes Nightforce Benchrest and Sightron so i do know glass quality..

Could it not be said your buying "Cheap' and getting what you pay for hoping / wishing for something more ?

3 to 6 shots and not able to hold Point of Aim from 2 different chinese scopes isnt great.. $165.00 isnt free. My used Sightmark Wraith has lasted over the use of 300 lbs of one once slugs shot through.. I also bought a super cheap Simmions Pro Traget 4-12x40 like under $50.00 refurbshied ebay...Its holding up...I dont know.. When i was young shooting Benchrest I wore out the tracking on all my Nightforce Benchrest scopes... I think the digital scopes are more reliable than there day scopes dollar for dollar... I never thought id say a camera is more reliable than a day scope optic.. But they are Im scared to touch scope turrets...I broken most scopes in time from actually using them.. I use a coldshot mil adjustable base and or adjustable scope rings to optically center..

I've got three Vector scopes; love them. Quality builds and great glass. Can't say anything about the Optisans. but I can say I'm going to start selling my other scopes and go to Vector from now on. I get mine from the UK. even with shipping they are cheaper and I don't find the delays with not being in stock in the US

My Vector Continental 5-30 isn't a great scope, especially IQ wise, and besides that the first one broke, but V replaced it with this one. After trying it again last week it's become a backup scope. Wasn't worth the money even on sale.

I payed less for a Meopta Otika 6 5-30 which has MUCH better IQ.

Athlon Helos G2's are the way to go.....
