Yes. The Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x50mm Rifle Scope features a Dead-Hold BDC reticle that is good for hunting/shooting at varying ranges where estimating holdover is a concern.

It has battery life of 150 hrs. What does it use batteries for?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on April 28, 2022

The Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x50mm Rifle Scope features an illuminated reticle that can be adjusted for brightness or turned off completely. Since this scope has an etched reticle, you do not always need to have your illuminated reticle turned on.
