Pros & Cons
Pros
The vortex viper 5-25x 50mm pst gen ii scope is excellent. Eye relief is good and remarkably consistent at all magnification settings. The only thing i find a bit annoying is that vortex did not include a lever for the zoom, and i had to buy one to in... Read More
This is my first ffp optic and it won't be my last. Vortex customer service is the best customer service i have experienced for any product. Lifetime unlimited warranty.
One click and you are illuminated. Illumination is powerful but i have noticed a slight bleed when it’s on 10 power and 25x zoom.
Very audible and distinct clicks on the elevation and windage turrets. Turrets track true and parallax dial is very smooth. The turrets are nicer and the illuminated reticle is also great!
Glass is as clear and bright as my uso & leup’s and the turret tracking is exceptional.
Highlights
Quality
Great scope, very clear and awesome reticle.
Really like the adjustment features, product quality and vortex warranty.
I just bought this scope a week ago and i am blown away by the quality!
My previous vortex turned to be defective and didn't hold zero.
Price
You get what you pay and it’s worth the money
Overall, i would recommend for the money and quality of glass.
Shipping
Vortex is always on point and europtic sent this thing next day air.
Packaging/appearance
I saw the same riflescope at my local gun shop packaged nicely and securely in a vortex box.
My gripe is with the seller- whether it was the sellers fault or amazon's fulfillment, i knew something was immediately off whe... Read More
I have done photography in the past, and i know that anything with moving glass elements should be packaged securely/firmly.
Competitiveness
Anxious to see how this scope is in comparison to german ground glass.
The viper is far superior to the venom!
I've compared it with the vortex razor and find the same mechanics in both but i can't justify the $1,000 increase for only sli... Read More
The scope tube on the viper seems much thicker than the venom, and the viper is a heavier scope.

Recommend the scope for accuracy but it is a bit pricey even for a first focal plane optic
