Cabelas is going to have these as a black Friday door crasher for $300 is it a good deal at that price? I'm currently using a 4200 but want a different reticle and the vortex has a bdc reticle. Or am I better off with what I have.
 
The bcd works well in the viper If thats what you are looking for. My 270 lines up 200 zero, 300 and 400 dead on, 500 good, 600 needs a bit of hold. Other than that what you have is fine.
 
Vortex has very stringent rules with regard to how low retailers can mark down new product. Cabelas had Diamond Back binos on recently and it turned out that they were old stock, last year's model, I think this would be the same thing here with the Vipers, does it really matter, probably not, but I would want to know. Great products great warranty!
 
I just bought one recently. It was an impulse purchase and I checked out some other scopes to see if I got a good deal or not.

Looking through the Leupold lineup it seems to compare to a vx2/vx3 to my eyes. It's old stock but a quality piece. I believe vortex discontinued the 1" tube model. For $300 I don't think you'll do better. I was looking at $500-$600 models before I saw any improvement. The diamondback 3-9x40 locally was $20 more and is the lower line.

You can always compare them side by side and return it if you don't like it. ( I wouldn't mount it if your not sure)
