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.

Exceptional clarity
There are a lot of optic companies out there that try to claim that they are the best well for me it’s Vortex why we’ll I like the clarity of the optics the fact that I live in a country that has some harsh conditions and my Vortex scopes have never let me down I have only had to zero my scope once and it stays on target they have made a scope that has the features I require in a optic that is great whether used at day or night they have a warranty should I ever need in the future that many other companies don’t offer what more can I say it’s a quality made product

Scope works great!
I have two Viper HST scopes one is on my Core 15 AR in 223, it has the VMR-1 MOA reticle makes hold overs easy, it has very clear glass and I like the way the turrets work and feel, I think it is a great scope.

Great optic
I have bought and tried almost every inexpensive optic there is out there over the past 10 years I have been doing high volume shooting and I have to say once I tried the hst 4-16 in moa /moa I decided this is an amazing value for the money. I have a YouTube channel (RINGET421) where I make shooting vids as well as review vids. Since I started to buy vortex optics there hasn’t been a reason to try anything else. The glass is very clear the turrets track true to within .01% error which is right up there with the top tier optics. I use my Ziper HST on my 22lr for low price practice and plinking and it tracks repeatable and consistently. Couldn’t be more happy with the scope.
