Most Helpful Positive Review Vortex - The New Scope Value Leader
For the last couple of years, I've been recommending Sightron scopes as excellent quality scopes at a very attractive price. Firearms enthusiasts are now aware of the Sightron quality, and the cost is starting to rise to reflect that market understanding. I believe Vortex has now taken the place o...

Most Helpful Negative Review Great hunting scope but NOT for serious distance shooting
This scope is fine for a hunting scope where you don't care to change your zero, but it is definitely not made for any sort of distance shooting where you need to dial in your drop and windage for every shot. The turrets have caps on them, so this is intended as a "set it and forget it" type of scop...

Excellent Scope

by India Rackley, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on April 1, 2025
I purchased this to put on my Remington 700 22-250. The glass is crystal clear. All adjustments are made with ease. I would definitely recommend this scope, and would buy it again. You cannot beat the quality and the price.

Exceptional glass for the $$

by Fred Wiedau, Verified Owner from NJ, United States Written on January 31, 2024
The clarity I see through this optic is fantastic. Light gathering is on par with optics that cost twice this amount. So far it holds zero quite well but I have yet to beat it up in the field. Nice eye relief as well. I didn’t want exposed turrets so this model fit the bill quite well.

Can’t go wrong

by Magnum68, from AB, Canada Written on January 15, 2022
I bought this scope for the 2021 Deer Season. At first I was split between a 4-16x42 diamondback HP and this one. Both are really good scopes but since I was mounting on a 300 Win Mag I decided to go with a scope that has really good reviews for long range and I didn’t want to lay out there one morning thinking “why didn’t I go with the bigger scope”. We also have a great range 100 - 550 yards close by so it made sense.
I think this scope would be an overkill if you don’t feel confident going beyond 300 yards however I can fully follow those who look at the price tag and say, why not.
I love the scope, very easy to sight in. Great clear sight in low light conditions. I took 3 Deer this season, all single shots in different element, various distances and low light conditions.
I would not hesitate to pick this one out again on a packed scope shelf and the warranty from Vortex is just an additional bonus.

Stay safe
Pros:
  • Easy to use & operate
  • Easy sight adjustments
  • easy & affordable
  • great eye relief, clear lens.easy controls
Cons:
  • Might be a little heavy for some.
Best Used for:
  • Range
  • hunt day and night
Would recommend: Yes

Nice mid range sco0e

by Ducksak, from MS, United States Written on November 16, 2021
Nice scope for the money. The 50mm end lets in good light. Would be better if it had an eye relief adjustment on the end to focuse better with thick clothes on. The scope adjusted easily will sighting in. It was very clear.
Pros:
  • Very clear
Cons:
  • No eye relief adjustment
Would recommend: Yes

Beautiful glass

by Chris McDaniel, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on November 1, 2021
The first time I took my rifle to the range with my new Viper scope, I could immediately tell the difference between this and the Nikon on my other rifle. This is my second Vortex and won’t be my last
