Well, I read a bunch about the Viper Vortex (I think that was the model I bought....then sold). I believe it was a 6.5-24X 50mm. Cost was around $750 if memory serves me right. I used it for bench shooting and varmint hunting. I dropped the rifle...a "soft" drop...not a hard one, and was frankly the scope was off when I checked it. Well, I sold it for a small loss ($50) and bought a VX-3 8.5-25 50MM side focus with a Varmint hunter's reticle. I liked it so much I purchased a second one for my .223.
Now, just to be as objective as you can, just go over to Snipers Hide and look at their for sale section. You will find Viper scopes for sale all the time. You will also find members posting "rave reviews" about Vipers. Then, you will not find Leupold VX-3's for sale so easy. Meh. Just saying...
