Can’t go wrong by Magnum68, January 15, 2022

Great scope with poor eye relief by Bungi, Verified Owner, August 20, 2012
I was very excited about getting this scope. I feel it is a great value. However, the eye relief is rather short and head position is very tight. For those not concerned with shorter eye relief, I would definitely recommend it. Pros: Great Value / ...

Product Info for Vortex Viper PA 6.5-20x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Rifle Scopes are necessary when precision shooting at high magnification is a must. The unique ViewMag adjustment lever of these Rifle Scopes by Vortex Optics allows you to make rapid power adjustments without ever taking your eye off your target. Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Waterproof Scopes have pop-up dials which provide easy, precise adjustment of elevation and windage, making audible clicks easily and quickly counted. The Vortex Viper 6.5-20x 50mm PA Matte Side Parallax Scope consists of a rugged, durable 30mm tube constructed of 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. Vortex subjects all of their Rifle Scopes to demanding factory testing under a force of 1000 G's - 500 times! Not only is this rifle scope waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, it is highly prized for its purging with Argon gas, targeting corrosion in an unchallenged way. This feature helps to eliminate internal fogging, chemically ignoring water. Like the Diamondback Rifle Scopes, you can count on the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Matte Rifle Scope w/ V-Plex Wide Reticle for smooth handling when the heat is on.image
