These seem like an awesome option for a hunting scope. I really with the 3-15x had a first focal plane option.
I was wondering if I was going crazy. I work at Cabela's and we got some Viper HD scopes in the other day. Had never heard of them and tried looking them up. Didn't exist. Nothing online. Good to know it wasn't a glitch in the matrix or something. They felt pretty solid, and I like the illumination on them. I've been really wanting something basically exactly like the 2-10x42 in this for my AR. I might get one!
There still might be a glitch in the matrix, but these are for real! Let us know what you think if you get a chance to send a few down range with the Viper HD!
How does the glass compare to the Viper PST Gen 2?
Why do all these companies keep coming out with 10x scopes with no parallax adjustment?
I assume they’re targeting a specific demographic of people that are wanting a scope configured in this way. No muss, no fuss…
I have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea. It's COMPLETELY stupid.
As long as the price makes sense it works. Works great for a zero to 300 yd deer rifle. Works for those encounters where you could have a 20 to 200+ yard shot at sunset and don't have time to mess with things.
If only the 3-15 was ffp...would have been perfect
Definitely a miss.
It is a FFP. I have a 3-15 Viper FFP with the ERB-7C reticle.
@@GrumpyNCO not in this case, the pst gen ii it was
Ffp is severely overrated for hunting scopes. At 3x most ffp reticles are much harder to pick up
No point in needing drop calc when if you're at the range that you'd need it, you'd already be at 15x so the reticle is accurate
Awesome finally some lighter weight scopes with the features I need! These will be good hunting scopes
Absolutely! Let us know what you think if you get a chance to put them to the test!
Can you REALLY feel a few ounces while out hunting?
@@robertosborne1753So at least for my small mini action collection, yes you feel a difference. I bought a light weight 3-9 for my 7.62x39 total weight was 7 pounds 2 oz scope mounted directly to receiver. I wanted more glass on my 223 so I installed a larger, chunky scope with a pic rail. Weight is 7 pounds 11 oz. And it’s a night and day difference shooting off hand or maneuvering. Behind a bipod or on a tripod no difference. That said on a wood stocked 30-06 I’d prefer the heavier better scope. Hope that helps.
@@robertosborne1753 you would be surprised, hunting all day in the Colorado mountains you definitely can feel the difference between my rifle that has a Leupold VX5 mounted on it to my rifle that has a Vortex PST gen2 mounted on it.
Vortex needs to hurry up with UHD Fury with Applied ballistics and waypoint marking in a 12x before Sig gets my money on the new kilo 10k gen2
Have you seen the Burris Eliminator 6? Vortex almost has no chance at this point
@Daddykins303 Yes, I have seen the Burris Eliminator 6. I personally prefer a separate range finder with the Applied ballistics built in. Lots of states ban smart scopes and other states are looking at banning them as well. I own a set of the Vortex Fury 5000hd AB's they are good for the price, glass could be better and the processing speed of hold overs is a little slow. The Vectronix Vector X looks very promising for an LRFB
Just buy the Sig. Their rangefinders a better than vortex’s. I’ve had both and won’t own another vortex.
Vortex owns Geoballistics, AB probably won't appear in Vortex products again
@u8rooster191 Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
The 3-15 with the vmr3 on ffp would have been sweet. Christmas trees are great for calling adjustments terrible for hunting scenarios.
How’s this glass compared to the Strike Eagle 3-18x44 or the viper pst?
I like it... But curious to know... Where are they made, and is the glass Japanese ED/ELD? Definitely going to pickup a 5-25x50 FFP VMR-4 to try. Just curious where they are made and where the glass is from. Also, does the illumination or parallax ring pop out of the side to adjust it, then lock it back in place, like the illumination ring does on the Razor Gen3?
For all you people freaking out that these are replacing the PST lines stop. They are the replacement for the Viper HS and Viper HS-T lines and are a major improvement to those lines. I personally think they are going to be good hunting scopes and will be trying one out soon and if they work out like I hope they will be replacing a few of my scopes I currently have.
I love my Vortex optics!
Had me sold on the 2x10 until ya said BDC reticle. Can’t stand em!
Good ole jimmy boy
How is the glass compared to the Gen 2? Thanks
The big question is, where is the glass made?
Google says lower end is made in China, higher end like this one could be Japan, USA OR Philippines. If this brand is good enough for Jerry Miculek, im fine with buying any of their scopes. To me he’s the chuck norris of guns.
Yall need to make the 3-15 with FFP and a simplified Christmas tree. (Pretty please)
Finally! Vortex comes out with a 2-10x42 with a simple illuminated reticle for hunting. not those messy tactical/long range reticles. Thank you for finally making this scope
Yeah! I’ve really enjoyed the podcasts. However, all they talk about is hunting when most Vortex scopes appear to be for the tacticool crowd or long range competition. Irony?
I bought a Viper PST 1-6x LVPO because of all of the hype… without paying attention to the weight. It’s a very nice scope except for the weight. I’ve taken it off the rifle it was intended for because it makes the combined rifle too heavy.
Really wish you would make a 6 or 8 - 32 or 36 scope that's affordable for entry-level bench rest. Something way cheaper then the golden eagle or razor. Maybe in the venom or strike eagle line?
does the illumination auto turn off. Im concerned the button could get pressed and kill the battery. there's not a way to check if its on with out looking through it. I put a white line on my rheostats.
I’m gonna love that new zero compared to the old vortex viper
Would have loved to see the 3-15 with the VMR-4 ffp reticle. If there was one for me that’s what I would want as well as many other people I’m sure that still want the ffp reticle without having to jump up to the larger magnification and longer size. Hope to see this in the future!
The 5-25 at 25 ounces is great if it proves to be durable. The capped 2-10 with a BDC is a huge missed opportunity. The 3-15 looks great except for the the absolute antiquated reticle and SFP. The red dot is great though. Obviously not Japanese glass or construction. Please at least be the Philippines and not Chinese.
Agree the reticles are ughhhhhh
Too bad they are way overpriced. You can get the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22X50 for just $100 more. The highest power one should be $900-$1000 dollars, not $1399.
Thats MSRP……….
Oh, come on, just give us a 2-10 FFP W/ the VMR4 Mil-RAD
You guys are in WI, how do you find this useful in a tree stand where shots are taken less than 100 yards with parallax fixed at 100 to infinity.
Unless it's a 2000+ german scope, the scope will be fixed at 100, and that's pretty much it. There will still be parallax past 100, but most people can't hold a rifle still enough to see it.
Give us the podcast deep dive!
are these reticles glass etched?
Wow, you had the opportunity to make an amazing 2-10x MPVO that hit all the boxes, and instead you made another generic hunting scope, very innovative.
SFP: Awful choice
Reticle: Awful choice, screams crossfire budget
Weight: Amazing, great job, could weigh a bit more and still be a great option
Capped Turrets: Absolutely Beatiful
No Parallax : Awful choice
Illumination: ehh, understandable given the reticle choice
The PA GLX 2.5-10x44 smokes this thing out the water at a more affordable price with way more features. But I bet you want even more money for a scope that screams "We are milking hunters for their money"
It's a shame because Vortex makes optics that are such a treat to look through, and they absolutely miss the mark on the feature set EVERY. TIME. But yeah guys, let's keep making more scopes for people who go to the range and shoot a box of ammo once a year every November, it's not like that market isn't completely saturated...
A 20oz 2-10x with a rudimentary set of BDC dots....
Vortex used to make a 3-15x42 with a better reticle that weighed less and cost the same. RZR-1589 is the SKU.
This is a very meh offering.
Man if the 3-15 would have come in FFP with the xlr-2 reticle from the LHT that would have been a winner. Also if the SFP version would have come with the floating dot reticle they have in the LHT 3-15x42.
This or leupold vx 3hd?
I know Vortex cant make everyone happy or make scopes just for me, but I wish you offer a 34mm tube in the Viper line. More for competition style shooting yet not as expensive and quality as a Razor but between the Venom/Strike Eagle price and quality. All great scopes I'd just like Something in between.
First focal plane version of the 3-15 please. The world is swamped with SFP stuff. There are almost no high quality FFP lightweight options.
Does the illuminated dot have brightness levels? I haven’t saw it mentioned in any of the Viper HD videos yet.
I already purchased the Venom FFP 3-15×44. And I'm so incredibly happy I don't see myself using anything else for the rest of my life. From here it goes to thermals and zero mag optics. Done.. we won the whole game.
Love your customer service and warranty but the zero stops that greatly reduce total elevation on most of your scopes now a days has caused me to look at other brands.
How come under the specifications on your website for the 3-15 it says argon purged and nitrogen purged which one is it
Wow sfp, bdc, capped elevation on the 2-10...does vortex pay any attention to the market at all
So I'm seeing an update to the Viper hunting oriented line... what about the target line? ie. is there a pst Gen iii on the way with exposed windage and elevation turrets on a 34mm tube?
I want all of them..... your scopes are so good I even put them on my pellet guns..... overkill yes, worth it!
WOW!
Got an email from Midwayusa earlier today before I'd ever heard of these, lol.
And the 3-15 almost had me until I saw the reticle. No x mas tree?!
Only 50mm objective though?
Where are they made?
Contacted vortex. They are made in the Phillipines
@@Chonkasaurus Thank you, was afraid the answer was gonna be China. The last two vortex I bought were from China...shocked when I got them.
Why vortex doesn't make 100 mm spotting scopes???
Nice looking Scopes ! That 3x15 looks like something I could use.
1-6 viper hd when?
Are these scopes meant to replace the non-PST Vipers or are they supposed to be the only ones in the Viper line?
They are replacing the Viper HS and Viper HST
👍
Man, I just bought a viper pst gen 2
Bring it back lol
these are not replacing the PSTs. Theses are replacing the viper hunting scopes.
Cool scopes, but still really annoyed that my razor LHT didn’t come with a turret tool. Thanks for the scratches.
LoL
Call them and they'll send you some free swag too probably.
Most returned scope for warranty work on the market
I knew it was too good to be true lol. WHY ARE YOU STOPPING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ENTIRE reticle and only illuminating SOME of the reticle? With more and more people adopting night vision on their rifles, this makes ZERO sense. AND STOP USING PUSHBUTTON ILLUMINATION lol. I doubt youre going to do it better than Nightforce and even nightforces sucks and everyone knows it. I LOVED vortexes illumination and reticles, and now you've gone in reverse. I just dont understand what was wrong with the previous viper gen 2's reticle? Why would you yank more illumination? I would have bought 2 of these yesterday because who wouldn't want a gen 2 pst viper with better glass and a locking turret? But then you ruined the reticle and put push button illum in. I'm good-I'll stick to the old gen 2's for now.
They should make a Vortex Covid-19 Chinese engineering, on sale at Temu ships direct from the communist country, this is why the US is in turmoil
Lmao vortex sucks
Which optic is good for people...
a potatoe
Stay asleep
🤣👍🏻
