When precision shooting at high magnification is a must, make sure the VORTEX Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Riflescope, Matte Black w/Dead-Hold BDC Reticle (VPR-M-06BDC) is what you're looking through! Although larger than other Viper riflescopes, you'll prize the smooth handling of the Viper scope.
Precision optics feature exclusive XR anti-reflective coatings for exceptional image clarity, and XD premium high-density glass to provide the edge-to-edge sharpness needed to differentiate details at any distance.
XD (Xtra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution and are carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.
XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying, image-degrading reflections and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.
Although the refinements of the MAG-View Lever, pop-up turrets, fast focus eyepiece and audible clicks, their importance becomes readily apparent when you catch that first glimpse of a trophy buck way up high on a distant ridge. Your sight picture will be crystal clear, and rich with previously unseen details. Adjusting for distance, windage, and elevation will become a seamless experience, putting you on target at any distance in a flash.
The Viper's Precision-Force Spring System is a patented system that uses an ultra-performance copper alloy / cobalt-beryllium spring. Not only does this greatly increase the fatigue life of the erector support system over more commonly used materials, but changes in spring pressure over time are virtally eliminated because the spring maintains a constant force throughout the entire range of motion. And, most importantly, windage and elevation adjustments are consistently smooth thanks to the spring's resistance to galling against the erector tube.
The Viper's Precision-Glide Erector System features premium-grade fluoropolymer teflon resin bushings that provide exceptional resistance to stress cracking, temperature change, corrosion, and friction-induced wear. In addition, these bushings have an ultra-low coefficient of friction for the smoothest possible operation of the magnification adjustment.
Ruggedness begins with a durable one-piece tube construction of 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. Vortex subjects the Viper riflescope to demanding factory testing under a force of 1000 G's - 500 times! Not only is this tough Viper riflescope waterproof, it is highly prized for its purging with Argon gas, targeting corrosion in an unchallenged way.
- Argon gas does not absorb or react chemically with water.
- Argon gas eliminates internal fogging.
- Argon gas maintains its protective properties over a wider temperature range.
- Argon gas does not diffuse as quickly as other elements, extending the service life of the optics longer.
Dead-Hold BDC Reticle was designed to eliminate the need for guessing hold-over at various distances. By selecting the appropriate sub-crosshair dot, a shooter will be able to hold "dead-on" his target at all reasonable distances. This reticle is very versatile; use it effectively with a variety of firearms, including high powered rifles, rimfire rifles, black powder rifles and slug shotguns.
