User questions & answers

Question:	Is this scope brand new in box not a refurbished with full warranty
Answer:	It came to me in a brand new box. It also had a warranty card.
Question:	Does it come with sunshade
Answer:	Hi, Yes it comes with a sunshade. What an awesome scope it turned out to be.
Question:	What height rings do you need - medium or high
Answer:	It ultimately depends on what you're mounting it to, but typically you will need high rings for the 50mm objective on a 1" tube. I put mine on a rimfire with an 11mm to pictinny adaptor rail. That raised it up enough for me to get by with medium rings, but otherwise I'd need high.
Question:	I ordered medium rings..will they work with this optic
Answer:	Hi! It all depends on the rifle you own. As you know the lower the scope the better it is. The 50 mm front of the scope has to clear the rifle. I mounted this scope on my Ruger 10-22 with the med ring and it is OK . I also brought the high rings just in case I switch rifle so day. How this answer you looking for

Answer:	yes. Insert the 3.5mm jack plug into the Gamepad,

User questions & answers

Question:	I'd like to mount this on a henry 44 mag carbine since the 50 yard parallax would work well with pistol cal. would recoil be a problem

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this unit come with the scope caps
Answer:	Yes this will fit with a low height rings on a Remington 700! I have one mounted on a Remington 700 bdl
Question:	Is the mount included? Pictures show mount but description says nothing about it
Answer:	Me owning both a 44mm and a 50mm I’d say if you want one for lower light go 50mm. I’ve heard that it doesn’t matter but like I said i have both.. the 50mm you can see earlier in the morning and later into the night.. only down side is if your facing a sun rise or a sun down the 50mm absorbs to much light causing a glare.. you can buy a screw in extender that takes care of that tho.. hope That helped
Question:	Does this scope come with Vortex lifetime unconditional warranty
Answer:	This is an amazing scope. Like the others have said handling a 416 rigby and a 338 win mag itll hold up to the 7.62x39 for sure. I know ur thinking probably about the continual jarring of a semi automatic but this scope holds up just fine. Best thing is u cant go wrong with vortexes warranty. I have two a 2-7x32 on my 375 HH, and a 3-9x40 on my .30.06, and only had one issue on the 3-9x40 from a shooting trip after i got it home i guess it got knocked around too hard and there was like dirt inside of the glass. I called vortex they sent me a sgipping label and said well fix it ir replace it and in a week or two i got my scope back good as new. I love vortex the scopes are great, and the customer service cant be beat.
Question:	on brownells. Why is it 100 more here
Answer:	The scope does not come with flip up scope covers. I purchased Butler Creek ones and they work great. For the eye piece go with size 14-15-16 (their sizing is weird) and for the objective go with 13-15. They work great and I have no complaints.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this scope really weight 2.6 pounds
Answer:	I didn't really weight it as itself but it didn't add much weight to my gun. My Remington 700 with heavy barrel was heavy already.
Question:	Would this work on a ruger 308 precision rifle? Model
Answer:	I dont see why not. You will need high rise scope mounts though. I have it on a Ruger American 30.06.
Question:	Does this have an illuminated reticle
Answer:	It has a illuminated center dot that lights up red. Very nice to have. I've had scopes that had the whole reticle light up and it was way too much goin on in the scope and it would drain the battery way too fast. The center dot is simple effective and great on the battery. Plus with the crosshairs you won't even need the dot about 90% of the time.
Question:	How is the glass? Sight clarity? Especially when you put it at
Answer:	Excellent for the price. Not going to compare to my Razor HD in glass quality or features, but $200 vs $2500, it's unbeatable value and warranty. I have at least 7 crossfires of different sizes on calibers from 22 to 30 cal. Clarity is good enough to watch the bullet trace from a 22lr hit paper at 100 yards at 24x and see all of the bullet holes. Clarity further out is still quite good as well. I highly recommend them.

User questions & answers

Question:	What brand is the cantileiver mount that comes with the package deal
Answer:	yep mine only came with 1. For the 24 mm side
Question:	Does the mount sit on a standard picatinny rail
Answer:	The scope has no magnification at 1x and works like a conventional red dot sight like Aimpoint. There is no need to use the bindon aiming concept. This was a concept that was adopted for use with the 4x fixed power ACOG at close range. Although Heavy, the Viper is a great scope that pulls true double duty as mag optic and CCO. The USMC is evaluating this type of optic to possibly replace the 4x ACOG , as we speak. S/F Mike
Question:	Would this be good to run on an m&p
Answer:	I have this exact combo in 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking at my old order, I bought "Vortex Optics Precision Matched Rings 30mm - Height 1.26 inches - Picatinny Mount " from Amazon and they work great for me. They're not cheap though, but neither was the scope.
Question:	No view through the scope? Really
Answer:	Hello, The glass used in the Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 SFP Riflescope VMR-2 MOA is made in Japan.
