Awesome scope!
I bought this scope to put on my long range rifle, planning on shooting out to 1200 yards. This scope is amazingly clear, and I'm sure I'd have no problem shooting a mile plus with it! If there's any downside to the scope, I haven't found it yet! This was my second Vortex optic I've purchased, and plan on buying a higher end scope by the end of the year for a long range AR I'm in the middle of building. Plus the Vortex staff is awesome. I stopped in wanting to buy a hat and a sticker, and they ended up giving me a hat and a bunch of stickers! Thanks for the awesome service and amazing products! Keep up the good work, and I may see some of you at Winequah!

Great glass for the price
I have had this rifle scope for over 2 years and has been through everything Mother Nature threw at me while hunting. It’s been dropped and bumped while backpacking and still hold zero from when I first sighted the rifle. I can trust this product to get the job done and make sure I deliver an ethical shot on wild game. The glass is clear and the 50mm objective lens allows for a larger sight picture even at higher magnification. The dead-hold BDC reticle is simple but effective and is clear and well defined. Great scope for the price. looking back I would have gone with the 44mm option just to fit my rifle a bit better.

Excellent value for money
This is my third Viper HS 4-16x50 with the BDC reticle. Love this scope - don't think you could get anything close for 1.5x the money. Great value. Clear, bright, easy to zero and holds zero well. Have one on a Nosler 7-08, a Nosler 35 Whelen, and the newest is riding a Kimber 30-06. Also have a Viper PST on a Remmy 308.
I generally dislike busy reticles - this is something Vortex and I struggle with a bit. With that said, I *love* the simplicity and precision of the Dead-hold BDC reticle. By far my favorite BDC reticle on the market. Clean, simple, and easy to use.
