Vortex
This Vortex Viper HD configuration provides shooters with familiar minute-of-angle adjustments and reticle measurements. Engineered for hunters and marksmen who prefer traditional MOA-based ranging systems, this scope delivers the same exceptional optical quality as its MRAD counterpart with proven angular measurement standards.
This MOA variant maintains all the advanced features that distinguish the Viper HD series while providing measurements in the widely-adopted minute-of-angle format. The scope performs equally well across diverse shooting disciplines, from precision hunting to competitive target shooting. Custom ballistic turrets are available from Vortex.
The VMR-3 MOA reticle system delivers comprehensive ranging and trajectory compensation capabilities using traditional angular measurements familiar to most shooters. Operating as a second focal plane design, the reticle maintains optimal proportions throughout the magnification spectrum while providing accurate MOA subtensions when set to maximum 15x power. This configuration ensures unobstructed target visibility at lower magnifications while delivering precise measurement references for extended-range engagements.
The target-grade elevation turret incorporates positive 1/4 MOA detents with an integrated locking system to prevent unintended adjustments. Each rotation provides 25 MOA of travel, with the total elevation range extending to 102 MOA for extreme long-range applications. The RevStop system allows shooters to dial confidently for extended shots while maintaining the ability to return quickly to their established zero point.
Optical performance stems from Vortex's HD lens system, which employs premium glass elements to control chromatic aberration and maximize light transmission. The fully multi-coated optics deliver sharp resolution across the entire zoom range, maintaining consistent image quality from edge to center. This optical foundation proves particularly valuable during marginal lighting conditions when game activity peaks.
The single-piece 30mm tube construction maximizes internal adjustment latitude while providing enhanced structural rigidity under heavy recoil. ArmorTek exterior coatings protect critical lens surfaces from field damage, while argon purging ensures fog-free operation across temperature extremes.
