Rifle Scopes Through the scope pic of a Vortex Viper?

[High Binder]

Hey guys, I just bought my umteenth NightForce and I'm a little burnt out on spending so much. I've got a new rifle being built that will be like the rest, around 1300yard capable and want to explore some other scope options. Since the PST isn't an option I was hoping somebody could post up a through the scope pic of a Viper. I would like to see if it gets that schitty black doughnut and what the cross hairs actually look like. Also does the glass "color" the picture at all? Would I be totally disappointed using a viper when I'm used to looking through NightForces?

Thanks in advance!

I posted some from my viper a while back. Checkout the "through the scope pics" in the picture forum. I'm on my phone at the moment or I'd repose them here.

Maybe you could just buy a QD base and swap your NF between rifles?

I have a Viper 6.5-20x50mm right now and its okay, the glass is fine and it hits what I aim it at. I'm not a big fan of the knobs on them but they do seem to work fine.

I posted a couple pics through the scope not too long ago too, I'll look them up and link them.

The viper has pretty good glass for the money but not the same as nightforce. As for whether or not it will disappoint you, that's all up to you and what you're expectations are.

I'd personally switch one of your nightforce over to your new build and throw the viper on a rifle not intended for 1300 yards.

Here's my viper 6.5-20x50 mil dot. excuse the quality as I used my phone.

When the PST's do come out any word if the glass is much better compared to the standard vipers?

That's not a bad idea and may be what I end up doing. Thanks
