Vortex Viper HS 4-16×50 LR Riflescope

Description

Seeking extended elevation dialing travel? The Vortex Viper HS LR Riflescope in 4-16x50mm delivers long-range hunting performance. Featuring a target elevation turret, 1/2 MOA clicks, and 75 MOA travel, this optic bridges woodland stalking and canyon shooting, though coarse 1/2 MOA elevation clicks limit fine benchrest tuning.

Constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the 30mm tube structure resists exterior deformation and mechanical shock. Premium extra-low dispersion optical glass provides clear edge sharpness through the 50mm objective window. IPX7 waterproof and argon purged, this scope measures 13.7 inches in overall length and weighs 21.4 ounces, finished in matte black anodizing.

Erector Spring Recoil Resilience

Tested across centerfire hunting calibers, internal dual erector springs endure 1000G shock pulses from .300 Win Mag loads without point-of-impact shift. Internal lead screws deliver 1/2 MOA elevation clicks across 75 MOA total travel within 1 percent tracking accuracy. Dry argon gas eliminates internal fogging between -20°F and 140°F.

Mounting Span Action Spacing

The 30mm main tube offers 5.9 inches of ring mounting space, fitting long-action rifles such as Remington 700 and Savage 110 platforms. Tighten 30mm rings to 15 to 18 in-lbs and base screws to 35 in-lbs. The 50mm objective bell clears medium-contour barrels with medium rings.

Backcountry Hunting Maintenance Rules

The knurled power selector operates with firm resistance, preventing unintended zoom movement when sliding into scabbards. This long-range hunting optic is not engineered for close-quarters dynamic carbine shooting inside 25 yards.

• Inspect ring screw torque with an inch-pound driver every 200 rounds
• Wipe lens glass clean using optical cleaner and a brush every 500 rounds
• Inspect CRS zero stop shim stack and turret screws every 12 months
