To mount the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 mm Riflescope you will need a scope mount by Henry Repeating Arms and 30mm cantilever rings, mid height. Links to both the rail mount and rings can be found below.

Hashtag Hagen, guest, from NY, United States, asked on August 25, 2020

I primarily hunt New York whitetail but also want a scope I can take out west. Curious how this scope performs with close range shots inside 100 yards

A
Answered by Mike B., member, from IL, United States, on December 14, 2020

This scope would perform excellent under 100 yards because of its smaller objective lens.

Paul, guest, from TX, United States, asked on December 08, 2019

1) What is the "150 hour battery life" referring to in the description? 2) How thick are the crosshairs? I prefer a "fine duplex" instead of a duplex

What scope mounts should I use to mount this on a Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on November 27, 2019

Assuming your Ruger American Predator has the picatinny rail on top, we would recommend something like the Vortex Pro series rings found under MPN: PR30-L

Q
LB, member, from AZ, United States, asked on July 08, 2018

Other than the 50mm lens, what is the difference between this scope and the Viper HS 4-16x50? Will either scope be good at out 1000+yds.

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 05, 2018

The major difference is in the turrets. The "-T" on the end of HS-T stands for "Tactical" which means the turrets are exposed, tactical turrets that can be used to make quick elevation and windage adjustments.
