Most Helpful Positive Review Viper HS-T Mrad reticle
Reticle hashmarks easy to use. The mrad system is clearly explained in the manual. Either holdover or turret dialing. After sighted in, supplied shims are used to zero the elevation dial, windage is zeroed by adjusting with set screws. Simple and effective design. Rugged construction and excell...

Most Helpful Negative Review Vortex Viper - HST how did this get past quality control
On 3/9/16 i purchased the vortex viper hst. on 3/16 the scope was delivered. On 3/18 I went to mount the scope and found that it had a critical defect - the variable ring was loose and and it would not engage to track correctly going up or down in magnification. I thought a new $500 + scope should ...

Viper HS-T 4-16x44

by Jarrett Lombard, from FL, United States Written on December 13, 2023
Great all around scope. I put it on a 6.5 Creedmoor and is the perfect combination. The glass is clear and able to hunt in the low light, last minute conditions. I would recommend this scope to others.

Vortex Viper HST 4-16x44 MOA

by Dave, from MI, United States Written on October 26, 2022
Second purchase of this scope. This one for my AR chambered in 350 Legend. Other rifle is bolt action 30-06. Really like the simplicity of use and the various reticle options. Top and side dial knobs allow for easy siting, spot on at 100 yards after a half dozen or so shots. Have not used it in the field yet but will this season. Vortex is a very high quality brand without the price. I also have a Leopold and would choose Vortex again.
Pros:
  • Quality, price, features, good value
Cons:
  • none yet
Would recommend: Yes

Good Glass

by Jamie Chartraw, from OR, United States Written on June 16, 2022
The clarity and light transmission are excellent. Bought this for hunting but wanted something I could bench as well to shoot distance. Sighting in was easy was within 2" on paper at 25yds. Great glass on this scope.

Great product

by Tim, from MT, United States Written on January 2, 2021
I cannot think of any cons other than the price. But when you think about the quality and versatility of it for various distances, it’s hard to be too upset about the price. It did not say it came with shims, but it did.

Great Optic and Clarity, One Drawback

by MAGHUNT, from MI, United States Written on July 22, 2019
The clarity and light transmission are excellent. Bought this for hunting but wanted something I could bench as well to shoot distance. Sighting in was easy was within 2" on paper at 25yds first shot by boresighting. Clicks continued to move precisely my point of impact as I sighted in. For the money this is hard to beat. Although coming from traditionally hunting rifles and typically a Duplex Retical or something similiar I will say the thin lines are hard to see in low light. I am worried about having an opportunity on an elk in timber at low light conditions.
Pros:
  • Clarity
  • Price,
  • Precise movement of turrets
  • Overall weight
Cons:
  • Retical? Maybe
Would recommend: Yes
