Overview
Tree stands to mountain tops, bolt guns to ARs, the Viper HST is ideal for a wide range of shooting applications. Blending many of the best features from Vortex's incredibly popular Viper PST and Viper HS riflescopes, the Viper HST riflescope is built on an ultra-strong 30mm, one-piece aluminum tube to deliver ample windage and elevation travel and optimal adjustment. An advanced optical system, highlighted with a 4x zoom range, provides magnification versatility. A forgiving eye box with increased eye relief gets shooters on target quickly and easily. Incredibly precise, repeatable and durable tactical turrets built specifically for dialing, along with its hashmark-based VMR-1 reticle, top off this highly versatile riflescope’s long-range performance features.

Best midrange price scope around.
This scope is unbelieveable. It is the second scope I've gotten from vortex, the first was the viper pa and this one is leaps and bounds better. Turrets track perfectly, audible and tactile clicks and always gets back to zero. My original intent for this score for for target shooting only because I thought it would be larger than it was, but I intend on hunting with it this fall with my 7mm rem mag. I really like the zoom numbers on it, very clever on making it with 16x 8x 5.3x and 4x for simple math on the moa reticle. Makes ranging targets very simple. Havent tried using it for holdover yet since I can dial inmy dope. Will probably buy another!

Excellent scope, great value
A buddy and I both bought the Viper HS-T 4-16x44 MRAD last winter for our long range rigs and have nothing but good things to say about this scope. We’ve been able to hit a 10” gong out to 1000m without much trouble and have found glass clarity and turret tracking to be excellent. Great scope for the money and I have recommended it to a few friends

Best in class
Everything about this scope is amazing. The price is perfect and will fit a large group of shooters. The Glass is crystal clear , edge to edge. The HS-T offers features normally found in much higher priced optics. The Elevation and Windage turrets are robust and are very repeatable. The Zero Stop works flawlessly and is simple to set. With Utahs new Muzzle loader optic law, this scope found it's way to my CVA Accura LR. It is shooting steel with sub MOA groups at 500 yards. This scope takes the recoil and always delivers. Great quality, great value and the VIP peace of mind warranty makes my decision easy. Key reasons that I bought this scope for this rifle include, Price, Warranty, Features,Size and Reputation.
