Our verdict

A rifle scope with an MOA reticle in the first focal plane and an accessory kit that includes a sunshade and zero ring. Magnification and objective size are muddled in the spec table, so confirm them with the seller.

Overview

Vortex builds this Viper HD around a reticle that scales with the magnification setting. The box adds a neoprene cover, sunshade and turret tool, and the body is aluminum with a Weaver mount type listed.

The extras are the standout, with a cover, sunshade, lens cloth, battery and turret tool all listed. The weak side is the data: magnification repeats the same value for minimum and maximum, the objective figure is garbled and two weights disagree.

Who it's for

Rifle owners who like an MOA reticle that scales across the zoom and want the zeroing aids bundled in. People choosing by field of view or eye relief should find that data elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • First focal plane reticle
  • Full accessory kit included
  • Lifetime warranty listed
  • Battery included for the reticle
Cons
  • Magnification range unclear in listing
  • Objective lens figure garbled
  • Two item weights conflict
  • Eye relief and field of view absent

Performance notes

The reticle changes size with magnification, so its MOA marks stay accurate at any zoom setting. The zeroing ring lets the turret return to a set zero after dialing, and the sunshade cuts glare on the front lens in bright light.
