    Rifle Scopes What Element of Optics Design Gives "Full-Screen"?

    Re: What Element of Optics Design Gives "Full-Screen"? Our new Viper PST's have eye relief designed specifically to reduce the "black doughnut" to a minimum. There is just a very thin outline of the scope eyepiece when you look through them. This combined with long 4in eye relief make them...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper PST CC, No FFP 2.5-10 this year, but we could add it later if there is demand. I'm out of the office today, so I'll have to check the weight for you tomorrow. -Sam

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper PST It's calibrated at the highest magnification on all SFP models. However, there are click stops in the mag ring at magnification multiples, so you can effectively range at other magnifications. For example, on the 4-16x50 model the reticle...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper PST Captain, I would say the turrets are more similar to M3 height. Jordan, sounds good. Look forward to seeing you there. It's not an easy thing to do to make a reticle daylight bright. We finally got a design that we think achieves this...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper We designed it to be the most true 1x on the market and we did some interesting things with the eye relief to make this the fastest 1x of any variable on the market. It really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The way the eye relief...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper That is the EBR-1 FFP reticle. It's a little different than the EBR-1 SPF reticles. The FFP EBR-1's are basically just like the EBR-2's, but without the windage dots. Here is a picture of the EBR-1 SFP(16x) mrad reticle: In fact, each...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper I can give our preliminary numbers on the FOV that should be very close to the production numbers, but again these aren't set in stone. The 4-16x50 is about 27.4 - 7.5ft @ 100 yards. The reticle thickness is 0.1MOA or 0.025mrad at 16x on the...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper Yes, they have a zero stop. Each scope comes with a set of 20 custom made brass shims 0.2mm thick. Once the turret is zeroed you simply loosen three set screws, remove the turret, and stack them underneath. It's not a "true" zero stop like the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Crossfire 4-16x50 AO ??????

    Re: Vortex Crossfire 4-16x50 AO ?????? We do inspect our scopes right here in WI before we send them out. I don't think that's something that everyone does, especially companies that specialize exclusively in scopes in the Crossfire's price range. So, that is one difference you will see with...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Crossfire 4-16x50 AO ??????

    Re: Vortex Crossfire 4-16x50 AO ?????? DeviousSB, I think the smiley was because the Crossfire's are not made in the USA. Sorry, I hope that doesn't disappoint you, but I don't want you to feel misled. I wish there was a way to make them in the USA and sell them for a profit that those...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper The turrets are either 5mrad per turn or 15MOA per turn. I can't remember off the top of my head if the 1-4x24 models are more (due to being 0.2mrad and 1/2MOA clicks), but I will check tomorrow when I'm back at work. The 4-16x50 and 6-24x50...

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper The mrad adjustments are in 0.1mrad increments and MOA adjustments in 1/4MOA on all scopes except for the 1-4x24 models. The 1-4x24's are 0.2mrad and 1/2MOA. -Sam

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper The MOA reticles have 2MOA tick marks. The mrad reticles use 0.5mrad tick marks, except for the FFP models, which use 0.2mrad tick marks on the outer 3mrads (see picture above). All of them have glass etched illuminated reticles. -Sam

    Re: Now accepting back orders on the Vortex Viper I can give you preliminary numbers based on the prototypes that we are currently testing. Please note that these could be subject to change once we have production models, but they should be pretty close and give you a good idea of the size...
