Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA...

Re: Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA...

I have one on my 308 and have been happy so far. Scope tracks and holds zero well.

I wish it had a little more eye relief, not a big issue on my 308, but could possibly be an issue on a heavier caliber rifle.

Call Scott at Liberty Optics, that is where I got mine. I was very happy with the service I received.

Vortex makes a nice scope. The Viper has good glass quality and the turret clicks are crisp and on target. I agree with Toddks on the eye relief. It is only listed a 3.3"-3.1". What type of shooting are you going to be doing?
 
Re: Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA...

I just sold one to buy another IOR scope. I really did like it a lot. No issues whatsoever. Tracked well, good glass, nice reticle. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Mine was mounted on a 300 WSM.

The mildot reticle subtends at 14X.

I believe mine has 12 MOA per revolution on the turret.

Whoa, that's weird... 12/revolution hmm.. I was just about to order a Viper BDC but that kinda makes me wonder.

Thanks!

Would be using it for an open F-class competition my shooting league holds over the summer. Range is out to 600 yards.
