Hello, I took my new rifle and scope to the range today. I had to zero so I really couldn't test out the Vortex Viper HS 4x16x50mm LR. A couple of things stood out though. The eyebox is supposed to be improved. I still found it to be a little sensitive. Secondly, the side focus yardages do not match up with the the numbers printed on it. 100yds wasn't 100yds, it fell between 60 and 75 yds to focus at 100yds.
The BDC reticle looks pretty good, but might be a little thin for hunting. I won't know until I hunt with it. Good for shooting paper.
Clarity is pretty good, comparable to the Nikon Monarch I have. I did have a PST 6x24x50 I sold here. I do not think it is as clear as that was, but still very good. There is a little fuzziness out at the edges. Not bad, but there.
As for adjustments, I really couldn't play around with them since i was trying to zero. I didn't set the zero stop yet so I can't say anything about that. Next time...
