After discovering Vortex, I've become a huge fan of their line of scopes. This is the second scope I've bought in the Viper HS series. I can't think of a better option in this price range, especially when you buy one on sale. Their warranty can't be beat, so you have no worries if anything did go wrong. I did have one scope I bought new that had a slight defect. They replaced it immediately with no questions and no fuss. Even sent me a t-shirt and scope covers with the replacement scope! I own several Nikon (P233, Rimfire, Monarch 3) and Leupold (VX2, VX3) scopes. I'd say the glass on the Viper and Viper HS line is better than my Nikon, and easily as good as the VX2/VX3. Truthfully, I haven't had a situation where I can tell the difference in side by side comparisons of the Viper HS and Leupold scopes. The Viper HS wins out if you want easy adjust turrets, which the Monarch and Leupolds don't have. In comparison, you'd need to move up to the over $1,000 scopes in the Vortex HD series or Leupold to find better glass. I bought this scope to replace my Nikon Rimfire ($125) on a Volquartsen SS 22LR. The Rimfire was a great scopes for target shooting, but as I've moved back to 100-150 yards in low light, I wanted something with better glass and higher magnification. This scope has been perfect. I'm now shooting about 1.25" 25 shot groups, which is more me than the rifle. I put a simple Leupold VX2 3-9x32 on my Volquartsen Ultralight 22LR because it was 50% lighter, and I didn't need the extended field of view, adjustments, BDC/MOA marks in the Viper HS for offhand plates and squirrels. If you can pick up this scope or others in the series on sale, I think you'll be very happy.Read full review

On the recommendation of an acquaintance I looked in to Vortex, and in particular this scope. I own Zeiss, Leupold, and a number of other brands of optics and this scope certainly meets or exceeds the quality and clarity of any of those. I look forward to putting this scope through its paces and I have no doubt I'll be buying more Vortex in the future.

In my opinion the viper is the best scope in this price range hands down! Construction, clarity of glass and adjustability are great! Tracks great, zero at 100 and dial in 600 on first shot and back to 100 no problem! Just put 40 moa base on my rifle for easy 1000 and beyond. Why spend 2,500 to 5,000 when you don't have to.
