Vortex Viper HS Riflescope

With a Second Focal Plane reticle, the reticle size remains visually consistent regardless of your magnification setting. This is ideal for hunters who prefer a reticle that doesn't change size, though it means your BDC holdovers are only calibrated for accuracy at the highest magnification setting.

Yes, the Dead-Hold BDC reticle is designed to help you eliminate guesswork on holdover and windage corrections. It provides specific reference points that allow you to quickly compensate for bullet drop at various distances, making it a reliable choice for field hunting.

Absolutely. The Viper HS is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed, making it fully waterproof and fogproof. It is built to maintain its internal integrity and clarity even when you are moving between harsh, varying environmental conditions.

The capped turrets are designed to protect your windage and elevation settings from accidental bumps or debris while you are moving through brush. While they require an extra step to unscrew before you can make adjustments, they ensure your zero remains secure throughout the day.

Yes, 4 inches of eye relief is generous and provides a safe buffer to prevent scope eye during recoil. This makes the Viper HS a comfortable and safe option for a wide range of hunting rifles, even those with more significant kick.

The 44mm objective lens, combined with the fully multi-coated glass, offers a great balance between light transmission and a lower profile. While it may not gather as much light as a 50mm or 56mm lens, it performs exceptionally well during the critical dawn and dusk hours.
