The Vortex Viper HD 5–25x50 VMR-3 MOA is engineered
for shooters who require consistent accuracy at extended distances with a clear
and structured aiming system. Combining a high magnification range with refined
optical performance, it is suited to both range-based shooting and field use.
The 5–25x zoom range provides the flexibility to move
between scanning and precision aiming. At lower magnification, it offers a
wider field for target observation and environmental awareness. At higher
settings, it delivers the detail needed for controlled shot placement at longer
ranges.
This model features the VMR-3 MOA reticle in a second
focal plane layout, keeping the reticle size unchanged as magnification is
adjusted. The reticle design includes evenly spaced reference points for
elevation and wind corrections, allowing accurate holdovers while maintaining a
clean and uncluttered sight picture.
Turret control is based on MOA adjustments with precise
click increments, enabling consistent and repeatable corrections. The
elevation system includes a mechanical zero return feature, allowing the
shooter to quickly reset to their baseline zero after making adjustments for
distance.
An illuminated reticle system improves usability in
low-light conditions, helping the aiming point remain visible against darker
backgrounds. The optical system uses high-quality glass and coatings to produce
a clear image with strong contrast, supporting target identification across the
full magnification range.
The 50mm objective lens supports image brightness
while maintaining a balanced scope profile. The body is constructed from a
single-piece aluminium tube for durability and structural integrity. It is
fully sealed to resist moisture and environmental exposure, ensuring reliable
performance in outdoor conditions.
