Viper HS long range 4-16x44 for 10/22?

[rybern]

What do you guys think about he Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44? I've had a Burris Droptine 2-7x on my 10/22 for years. I'd like an optic with low enough magnification for hunting in the woods but also work well for a little more precision than my current 2-7x. My 10/22 has a Kidd UL barrel, Kidd FCG and sitting in a Magpul stock. I think a 4-16 makes a good intermediate range for this gun. I know this is MOA but all my other optics are MOA too.

Anyone have this optic?

Midway has them on sale now for $379.

I have a Vortex Viper and I do like it. But, I put a Diamondback on in place of it and I like it even better. It's a lot of scope at that price point. Note, having a 55mm objective helps in brighter views. You might want to consider the Diamondback???

Try not to spit out your coffee as you check the price of the Diamondback Tactical FFP after reading about its impressive performance and features.

The Diamondback looks to be a great value as well. I definitely like the reticle better on the Diamondback. But I'm drawn to the 4x and smaller/ lighter overall package of the Viper HS 4-16x44.

I've read great things about those. That's going even bigger, heavier and less low end magnification than the Diamondback though, lol.

Ah, I overlooked that.... thanks for pointing that out. I'm second guess the Viper HS now. I normally shoot at least 50 yds but I'd like to keep limitations to a minimum.
