New Vortex Viper HS midway exclusive

[lax]

In my dealings with the nicer vortex they have offered a lot for the money. Just got an email about them making a "custom" scope for Midway. Seems like a good value for $400.

Midway does get some good exclusives sometimes.

They also have a mildot adjustment/mildot reticle Bushnell Elite 3200 10x. Everybody else only has the 3200 10x with MOA adjustments/mildot reticle.

Thinking really hard on this one...reviews on snipers hide look good.

Vipers are very well made scopes. I've been very impressed with both of mine.

That is what I wanted to hear! Wire reticle is a little concerning, but they seem to stand behind the lifetime warranty. Zero stop is a big plus as well.

Agreed. My main concern With this would be light transmission. I have a wotac it works great but since I use my 308 for target and hunting I need a scope that can handle low light conditions.

Sent an email over to Vortex last night and received this reply this morning.

Thanks for contacting Vortex Optics. The Midway scope is a cross between the HS and PST models. The HS and PST share the same glass, however the Midway scope is a 44mm objective lens, the reticle is a mildot spec'd at 15 x and has Mil reticle with Mil turrets (not offered on any other HS) and no illumination.

Wish I saw this before I bought my VX-II a few weeks ago.

I'm not in a rush so I just put it on backorder.

I just picked up the 6x20x50 PST at 2A sales, they had 2 more in stock...check it out.

Thats a very good buy and a fine scope for the buck.

 

[El_flasko]

Hmm. This looks like a nice upgrade possibility.

X2! Thanks man

 

[El_flasko]

Anyone else hanging in wonderful back order world!? Meh, not in a huge hurry and the deal was sweet.

 

[lax]

glad I wasnt in a hurry put in my order april 16th and just got the shipped email

 

[Russ D]

I've had one for about a month now. The eye relief is outstanding and the glass is pretty good to. Having the zero stops and good turrets makes it an awesome deal.

 

[El_flasko]

Mine showed up the other day too! Not mounted yet, but definitely a solid upgrade for the sps. Thanks again for the heads up Lax
