Great scope for the money - Vortex Viper PA 6.5-20x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

I have been very happy with all my Vortex optics. This scope mounted very easily using a wheeler scope leveling bubble and the vortex one piece scope rings. The magnification is strong and clear throughout most of the magnification. The only downside is that it does not illuminate, but you do save it in weight and the objective lens gathers plenty of light. The mil dot reticle is sharp but i do agree with other reviews that it could be a little finer for this type of focal plane. The 1/4 mil adjustments are simple adjustments that are great for shooting out to about 500 yards. If you are looking for longer ranges I would use something with a finer reticle and mrad adjustments.
