Have not seen that model, but I do have one Viper. It's very nice (a keeper) and their CS is top notch. Buy with confidence.

Looking to buy a Vortex Viper 6.5X-20X 50MM with "dead-hold" BDC reticle myself.


Been hearing very good reviews; both price/value & "no questions asked" warranty.

Looking forward to seeing more responses...................

Vortex optics are under rated. I have the diamondbacks and some of the vipers and all have really performed great for me. I don't think you will be sorry if you decide to go with Vortex.

i to am in the same boat, i was set on getting a Leupold but then someone suggested to look into these guys, and to be honest i think i am defiantly goinng with a Vortex of some type, just got to narrow it down, but from everything i've heard and see it is almost a no brainer

I've put a Burris Signature Select 4X-16X 44MM on all my bolt action rifles so that I always have the same sight picture (ballistic plex reticle) no matter what caliber I'm using.

So................ended up buying another one for my new AR flat top, and sure enough it fit like a glove with the Burris XTR Xtreme Tactical Rings !!!

I guess you could say that I really like them, and I already know what I'm getting for my money.

I've recently had the opportunity to check this scope out. Overall, it was very nice. The numbers on the mag selection ring are very small...I could not see them without my glasses on! The reticle was the Dead Hold and it was very usable IMO. Glass (Phillipines I believe) quality per price was a winner.
