Review of Vortex Viper 6.5-20X44mm Mildot Scope

The VORTEX Viper 6.5-20×44 PA Riflescope, Mil-Dot Reticle, Matte Black (VPR-M-05MD) is ideal for the big game, long-range, predator/varmint, and target applications. This model scope features a side parallax, which uses an adjustment mechanism on the left side of the riflescope to fine-tune focus for the purpose of reducing parallax shooting error. The Viper riflescope offers exclusive XR anti-reflective coatings for exceptional image clarity and XD premium high-density glass to provide the edge-to-edge sharpness needed to differentiate details at any distance.

XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying, image-degrading reflections and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.

XD (Extra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements made of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution and are carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.

The Precision-Force Spring System uses an ultra-performance copper alloy/cobalt-beryllium spring – greatly increasing the fatigue life of the erector support system over more commonly used materials. The spring maintains a constant force throughout the entire range of motion – virtually eliminating a change in spring pressure over time. And, most importantly, windage and elevation adjustments are consistently smooth thanks to the spring’s resistance to galling against the erector tube.

The Viper’s Precision-Glide Erector System features premium-grade fluoropolymer Teflon resin bushings that provide exceptional resistance to stress cracking, temperature change, corrosion, and friction-induced wear. In addition, these bushings have an ultra-low coefficient of friction for the smoothest possible operation of the magnification adjustment.
