[QUOTE="wyrshunter1, post: 2517537, member: 122173"] The Viper I picked up is a 4x16 that I got on black Friday for $240. Its eye relief is not very good. I put it on an .300 Win Mag Interarms Mauser that I picked up in a services trade. Made the mistake of trying a prone shot at a bad angle and about got knocked out and had an embarrassing case of scope eye for a week. It was my fault and an extremely dumb rookie thing to do, but I got thinking that it would be easy to make the same mistake in a hunting situation being the lug head I am. I replaced it with a 3x9x50 Burris E1 after comparing the eye relief and seeing the Burris was at least an inch better. I decided I liked the simplicity and weight of the 3x9 on a gun like that too. Maybe the 2.5x10 Viper doesn{t suffer from the eye relief issue for you and if so that seems like a really good value. I have heard speculation that the Viper and Fullfield glass come from the same Phillipines factory. Who knows. [/QUOTE]
