@C_DOES I love the videos, and the format you’ve developed! Serious question - Between this and the Arken SH4 (non-J), which would be better (for you) for NRL22?
I cant wait for the comparison. Your videos are amazing and full of detail and pov's. I also am greatly looking forward to the 5x25 pst gen 2 vid as I have that but haven't had the time to actually use it yet.
To put a little context to glass commentary this is mostly a design difference. Vortex's optical design is way ahead of most of the rest of the industry. I think they are doing a better job selecting glass (it's almost certainly all CDGM chinesium glass which is perfectly adequate for all commercial applications under 2inch diameter) but they are definitely doing a more consistent job controlling chromatic aberration than most of their competitors during the design process. I would also add that I prefer the diamondback reticle but the image quality is no comparison. This optic is vastly superior.
@@CDOESplease do this one vs the viper pst gen 2 5-25x50 EBR 2c. There is a huge discount on the scope through sportsman 30% off. Don’t know which to get
Some of your other vids have some comical elements but I think this video’s approach was simple, perfectly narrated, professional and maybe most importantly, scalable. Keep it up!
Great video!! I am a pistol guy, just got into rifle shooting. Picked up a Savage axis 2 Precision in 6.5creedmoor.It has a vortex crossfire on it and im able to group about .5” at 100yards. Im looking to start going longer range. Recently at 200meter, groups 1.25” or better. Now, looking to go further and get a better optic. Originally looking at the Diamondback tactical, the The strike Eagle. Also the arken was tempting but feel its not the way to go. This Venom seems to be a good middle ground. What do you think? Also what scope rings do you recommend? Thanks!
I have a Gen 1 HST 6-24x (not sure if they made a Gen 2). I've had it for about 6-8 years on the Savage 308 bolt action. I kinda want to upgrade it to a FFP optic so I am looking forward to your Vortex family review.
Sounds like you prefer the glass on the Venom over the Helos. Is it by much? Which one lets through more light of them during dusk/dawn? Looks to me like the Helos is above the Venom in everything else (turrets, illumination, weight).
It isn't by much, but it's enough to make me choose the venom over the helps for my purposes on my rimfire. If I needed lume then it would be a closer choice between the strikeeagle and helos
Actually it's 22 mils of elevation. on all of them 18 if you're windage is set past three or the Rev stop is on . I have one but I've seen scopes with 30 mil tubes that have close to the same f.o.v , moa or mrad adjustments as well exit pupil..like the Vortex Diamondback and Nikon ( defunct ) Black X 1000, Only thing the Venom seems to significantly have over them is weight for bench shooting and glass quality..
Awesome review, i got this scope, and its was very fun to see this review. Many thanks to you and keep upp the good work, best regards from me in Sweden
i went the other way. i put a used acog on a stock 10/22 compact. it’s light and i like looking through it and being a 22 i can look through it a lot. the reti al works too. for standard velocity i multiply distance by three and high velocity by two.
Easy fix for that. Go one rev up from bottom and mark with a paint pen. If you can't see a mark, you're at bottom; if you can, you're at +1, and if you have space between the turret and the mark, you're at +2. Venom doesn't have enough elevation to get to +3. Not worth complaining about when the fix is so easy.
@@joed3264 Sure enough you're right. Well, you can tell I don't own one of these. Weird; all my scopes have turrets that move during rotation. Sorry to give you wrong advice.
@@stumpyhigginbottom3466 no problem. All of my scopes have the revolution counter marks - Riton, Athlon, Vortex and others. Bushnell makes a really nice scope, Engage, that has the same problem. OTOH I have an Athlon Midas 4.5-27 x 50 that has the hash marks, but does not need them as I can go from a 50 yd zero to 200 yds in one revolution with a .22LR. My favorite scope is the Riton X1 6-24x50. $200ish. The glass is better than my $$$ Midas.

Ran outta time before my kid. Soon it'll be done!

Of all you said I have no doubt. Add ontop of that Vortex backing their products like no other and it becomes a very easy purchase.
That vortex comparison gonna amazing!! Can’t wait to see

Looking forward to the Vortex showdown video.
It may be a year late. But it'll happen! One day

Much appreciated
11:45 wtf man, the whole reason I ordered this scope was for 360 no scope headshots. Damnit. 😂
Do you have any prospects for getting your hands on a Meprolight M21? I've been looking at one to buy but there's only generic paid reviews for it.
Where can I find information on what sizes are of targets between lines, the lines, dots, etc. thank you
This looks really good, especially for the money.
It really is
Eotech vudu 1-10 anytime soon? I want to hear what my favorite reviewer has to say about it
I have a PST II in 5-25 on my 6.5 CM and just ordered a Venom for my 22. Can’t wait to give it a try!

Looking for glass and this seems to be the best bang for your buck. Keep looking at other options but keep coming back to this one.
I have watched numerous reviews and yours answered my questions on this subject and look forward to further…

4:50 it's nice comparison with the Arken SH4, however it would be nice to see it agains the newer Arken EP5 5-25x56. I'm looking for this one
greetings, I'm asking you to help me please f30 pro 6 24 52 conus brand or vector taurus 4 24 50 which one would you recommend?

hi, C! are you interested in categorizing your videos by topic? (asking because I did it)
Can not wait until you review Primary Arms PLXC 1-8. I’m bw Razor 1-6 and PlxC 1-8.
how does this venom compare with the Meopta Optika6?
Nice video! Might you consider reviewing firefield's optics at some point or another? Considering buying stuff from them...
How can I recreate your first test??? Thats excellent
Awesome review, i got this scope, and its was very fun to see this review. Many thanks to you and keep upp the good work, best regards from me in Sweden

Can you do a review on Redfield 1-6 lpvo or the 3 -9?
👍🙋♂
I think you are the best scope reviewer I have ever seen....you are amazing! thank you
There are just to many scopes to choose from.
*Thanks for the research!*
You think this would be good for a 308
I don't see why not
@@CDOES Awsome I was watching your videos and was stuck on thinking about the trijicon credo . But I think this vortex would be better
Arken lowered the price on the sh4 to 289, at that price it's a killer deal
I think your arken is faulty 👍
That's a good possibility. Faulty Arkens seems to be a common theme.
Useless for me. No horizonal elevation marks to tell how many revolutions you have made. Cheap way to make scopes.
Easy fix for that. Go one rev up from bottom and mark with a paint pen. If you can't see a mark, you're at bottom; if you can, you're at +1, and if you have space between the turret and the mark, you're at +2. Venom doesn't have enough elevation to get to +3.

@@stumpyhigginbottom3466 The turret does not move up. It just rotates.

Wow I'm early.
The tr20 is the best optic for the American rifleman
Not impressed with mine at all
@@maidenvoyage8376 it halos bad starting at 300 yards. Real blurry
Sounds like you have it mounted too far away from your eye @@markseawright2418
hey your videos are best in whole yt. big thank and please do more well known brands comparison especially big glasses like 5-25x56.
🫵👍🤘😎
Thanks mate!
