Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Matte Mil Dot Riflescope

Product Overview

The Vortex Viper riflescope delivers 6.5-20x variable magnification through a 50mm objective lens. It is built for tactical, long-range, predator and target shooting where precise ranging matters. Fully multi-coated optics provide 95 percent light transmission for a bright image in low light. The Mil Dot reticle supports range estimation, windage and bullet hold-over calculations.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your rifle can accept a 30mm main tube and that your rings or mount are sized for that diameter. Ensure there is enough rail space for the optic length and that eye relief will suit your shooting position. The side-focus parallax knob adjusts from the shooting position and its markings are calibrated at 14x magnification. Confirm the turret style matches your preference for capped, finger-adjustable clicks.

Ideal Use Cases

This scope suits shooters who need high magnification for distant targets and a reticle that helps estimate range at the calibrated power. Hunters and competitors who value strong erector springs and smooth magnification changes will benefit. Buyers who require an illuminated reticle, a first-focal-plane design, or a lighter, compact optic for close-quarters work should consider other models.
