Thread: Vortex Viper HS

Am looking at one of these in 2.5-10x44 for a good all round scope and be able to dial from 300-600m.

It will replace a bushnell elite 4200. Looks to be a reasonable price too.

Any comments on build quality, glass reliability etc?

Got one about three months ago. Tracks well. Reticle a little too fine. Optics seem good to my eyes. Got another one coming in a week. Compares well with my Mk4 4.5 - 14 x 50. Another plus is that it came with a sunshade.

didnt happen to get it from dave at magnums by any chance ?

got one on my lemington, very nice scope, love the turrets, nice and solid, the ability to zero them is fantastic.

Did you get it from usa? What did it cost in the end

nah bought it locally. was 850 for a HS 4-16x44

Yip. From Dave.

just bought the 4-16x50

very cool $650 from the USA

the vortec scopes are in short supply these days

They have been since they were introduced, because they all go back under warranty, they cant keep up.

Got dad some of the binos for his 50th. Embarrassing quality, wont buy them again, quite pissed off actually.

A mate bought one of the vipers for his old mans birthday, it took a shit, sent it back.

I dont understand how people keep recommending them, customer service doesn't mean jack 2 days up a 5 day hunt.

popularity and sales figures are speaking for themselves, these should also be considered base line quality. and Binos?!!! why would you risk buying low grade binos?

even leupy binos are risky. id be interested to know who else has had vortex viper failures. your the first ive herd.

PS i have had a shit leupy scope before and i didnt black list leupy.

I have played with one and when spare funds permit I will be buying one.
I was impressed all round for the money.
Just can't decide on which one yet.

Good value. About bushnell 4200 class. I didnt keep it but only because of the super fine BCD reticle in the 4-16. Will most likley have one with a reticle that suits me better in the future.

Shit sneeze that gun is bloody shiny as do you use it?

Could you get a pic of what the turrets look like under the cap?

One of my all time favourites ,used it for some years with no troubles at all. I dont get to hung up on "glinting " or "cammo everything".
