Vortex Optics Venom 3-15x44 FFP EBR-7C MOA Waterproof Riflescope  - VEN-31501

Workhorse reliability and accuracy on targets no matter the range. The Venom 3-15x44 FFP delivers great glass quality, impressive magnification, and the versatile EBR-7C reticle for fast, precise corrections at distance, plus a wide field of view when rapidly engaging targets up close.

Features

• First Focal Plane Reticle: Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications.
• 34mm tube: Provides a large amount of travel.
• RevSto Zero System: Patented streamlined design offers a toolless zero stop for rock-solid return to zero after turret adjustments.
• Throw Lever: The included throw lever can be installed for quick and easy magnification adjustments.
• XD Optical System: Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images.
• Illuminated Reticle: Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.
• Glass-Etched Reticle: Allows for intricate reticle design. Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
• Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide increased light transmission for greater clarity and low-light performance.
• ArmorTek: Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.
• Single-Piece Tube: Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
• Low Glare Matte Black Anodize: Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface.
• Nitrogen Gas Purged: Gas purged and O-ring sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance in all conditions.
• Waterproof: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
• Fogproof: itrogen gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
• Shockproof: Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.
• Fast Focus Eyepiece: Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.

What our Experts Think

• Lightweight long-range performance – At just ~21.7 oz, it’s one of the lightest scopes in its class, making it ideal for hunting rifles without sacrificing capability
• True First Focal Plane precision – XLR-2 (MRAD) reticle scales with magnification, allowing accurate holdovers and ranging at any zoom level
• Excellent magnification range (4.5–22x) – Covers close-to-mid hunting distances and extended long-range shots, offering strong versatility in the field
• Premium HD optical system – APO lenses and XR™ Plus coatings deliver sharp resolution, true color, and outstanding low-light performance
• Reliable turret system – Locking elevation turret with RevStop™ Zero System ensures repeatable adjustments and quick return to zero
• Built for real-world conditions – Aircraft-grade aluminum body, waterproof, fogproof (argon purged), and shock-resistant construction
• Hunter-focused usability – Capped windage turret and streamlined design reduce accidental adjustments in the field
• Generous eye relief & comfort – ~4” eye relief and forgiving eyebox improve usability during extended shooting sessions
• Trade-off: not a pure competition scope – Prioritizes lightweight hunting performance over extreme turret travel and heavy-duty tactical features

Maintenance Tips

• Clean lenses with care: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to preserve fully multi-coated optics and maintain sharp, high-contrast images.
• Keep turrets debris-free: Regularly wipe exposed tactical turrets to ensure smooth 0.1 MRAD adjustments and reliable tracking.
• Check zero-stop (RevStop): Periodically verify zero return for consistent long-range accuracy and repeatability.
• Inspect mount & 34mm tube fit: Ensure rings are properly torqued to prevent shift and maintain zero under recoil.
• Maintain parallax & focus controls: Keep side parallax (15 yards–∞) and fast-focus eyepiece clean for precise targeting.
• Use throw lever correctly: Keep it secure and clean for quick, smooth magnification changes from 5x–25x.
• Protect lenses & coatings: Avoid touching glass—ArmorTek® coatings resist scratches but still require careful handling.
• Dry after exposure: Even though waterproof, fogproof, and nitrogen-purged, wipe down after rain or dust.
• Store with accessories: Use included lens covers and sunshade to protect the 56mm objective from damage.
• Avoid impacts: Rugged construction is shock-resistant, but minimizing drops preserves internal precision.
