Rely on the exceptional optical performance and versatility of the Viper HD. Ruggedly built for all hunting disciplines,  it packs outstanding image clarity along with essential features for hair-splitting accuracy no matter.

Features
  • HD Optical System: Optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, cut chromatic aberration and provide outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission.
  • Illuminated Reticle: Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.
  • 30mm Main Tube: For increased travel.
  • Exposed Locking Elevation Turret: Integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental adjustments. Elevation turret provides fast, accurate, easily read elevation adjustments.
  • RevStop Zero System: For a rock-solid return to zero after turret adjustments.
  • 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.
  • Argon Gas Purged: Gas purged and O-ring sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance in all conditions.
  • Fast Focus Eyepiece: Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.
  • 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.
  • Single-Piece Tube: Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
  • Waterproof: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
  • Fogproof: Nitrogen gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
  • Shockproof: Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.

What our Experts Think
  • Precision-focused SFP design – Second Focal Plane VMR-3 (MOA) reticle offers a clean sight picture with precise holdovers (best at a set magnification)
  • Excellent long-range capability – 5–25x magnification paired with 50mm objective delivers strong performance for hunting and extended-range shooting
  • High-definition optical system – HD glass provides sharp resolution, accurate color, and reduced chromatic aberration for a clear sight picture
  • Reliable turret system – Exposed elevation turret with RevStop® Zero System ensures repeatable adjustments and quick return to zero
  • User-friendly configuration – Capped windage + exposed elevation keeps controls simple and prevents accidental adjustments in the field
  • Strong adjustment range – Up to 68 MOA elevation travel supports dialing for long-distance shots
  • Built for harsh environments – Shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof construction with a durable single-piece tube
  • Low-light capable – Illuminated reticle and coatings enhance visibility during dawn and dusk hunting conditions
  • Lightweight for its class – Around 25 oz, making it more field-friendly than many tactical scopes

Q&A

Q: What is this riflescope best designed for?
A: Built for long-range hunting and precision shooting, offering versatility from mid to extended distances.

Q: What magnification range does it offer?
A: Features a 5–25x zoom range, ideal for both target identification and precision engagement at long distances.

Q: What does the VMR-3 (MOA) reticle do?
A: The VMR-3 reticle provides precise holdovers, wind corrections, and ranging, with a fine center for accuracy and low-light usability.

Q: Is this a First or Second Focal Plane scope?
A: It is a Second Focal Plane (SFP) scope, meaning the reticle size stays constant and is optimized for use at a specific magnification.

Q: How is the optical quality?
A: The HD optical system delivers excellent clarity, resolution, and color fidelity, even in low-light conditions like dawn and dusk.

Q: What turret system does it use?
A: Features exposed elevation turret + capped windage, along with the RevStop® zero system for fast, repeatable adjustments.

Q: Is parallax adjustable?
A: Yes, side parallax adjustment ranges from 20 yards to infinity for sharp focus at all distances.

Q: How durable is the scope?
A: Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, it is shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof, designed for harsh environments.


Maintenance Tips
  • Clean lenses properly: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to maintain HD clarity and protect multi-coated optics.
  • Check ring & mount torque: Ensure 30mm rings are securely tightened to maintain zero and recoil stability.
  • Keep turrets clean: Wipe elevation/windage turrets to ensure smooth, precise adjustments and reliable tracking.
  • Verify zero regularly: Reconfirm zero after transport or heavy use for consistent accuracy.
  • Maintain zoom & focus rings: Keep magnification and side focus/parallax controls free of dust for smooth operation.
  • Protect glass surfaces: Avoid touching lenses directly to prevent smudges and reduced light transmission.
  • Dry after exposure: Even though waterproof and fogproof, wipe down after moisture or harsh conditions.
  • Store in a safe, dry place: Use lens covers and a protective case to extend lifespan.
  • Avoid impacts: Durable construction handles recoil, but minimizing drops preserves internal precision.
