Vortex Viper Scopes ????

[ruger4]

Anyone using these , any feedback , same price range as the Leupy II's and Bushnell 4200's , apparently they're flying in under the radar and being compared to the Leupy III's , expect a big price increase soon after they tap into the market share , so I've heard , 3.5-10x 50 ( approx $500.00 )

Have a couple Leupy II's looking to maybe try this scope out !! Anyone ?

Found a good post below , thanx

I bought a 6.5-20X44 Viper last year from Powderkeg in Kamloops for just over $500.00. It's my first scope, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it's good clear glass, and I'm quite happy with it. Google them and check out their website. The warranty is outstanding.

yes I like the no questions asked warranty ( lifetime )

The Vortex scopes are great value for the money! PM sent.

After a couple different tries at Vortex, there is NO WAY I would choose to buy another Bushnell. Price is right, optics are great and the warranty is there, not that i have had to use it yet.

I just picked up the 3x9x40 Diamondback with BDC. It's the mid-line of their products and I am impressed with the clarity of the optics, the function of the adjustment knobs and the fit and finish.

If warranty work is required, the scope will not have to be sent to the manufacture in the US but is handled via the Canadian distributer in Ontario.

All there products meet or exceeds most of the "classically" high-end scopes at a much better price range. I picked mine up for $270 at the BC Sportsman show.

I can only suggest you get to a shop that has Vortex and the other lines of scopes you are considering and do a side by side comparison. I believe you will see why I recommend Vortex.

I wil no longer buy Leupold or Bushnell, the Vortex scopes are awesome and warranty is better the Leupold.
I hear that Vortex is comming out with a new scope that will put Nightforce to the test. It'll have the target turrets similar to the Leupold M1's and glass that is way better then the current Viper.

It's going to be the Vortex Razor tactical scope.

Should be interesting to see how it fairs.. it's also going to be a lot more $$ than the current Viper line.

Cool sounds interesting. Vortex has some goofy names though

How is the viper in low light? I am thinking of getting a 2-7x32

I have heard great things about their binoculars.

 

[Why not?]

I have a pair of their Diamondback binoculars. The optics are as good as my wife's 8X30 Zeiss .
