The Vortex Viper HD 5–25x50 VMR-3 MRAD is built for
shooters who prioritise precision, repeatability and optical clarity when
working at distance. Designed around a high-magnification platform, it delivers
the control needed for consistent shot placement in both range and field
environments.
Offering a 5–25x magnification span, this optic gives
shooters the ability to scan at lower power and transition seamlessly into
high-detail viewing when engaging distant targets. The range is well suited to
applications where both observation and precise aiming are equally important.
The VMR-3 MRAD reticle is configured in the second
focal plane, maintaining a constant size throughout magnification changes. Its
layout provides clearly defined reference points for elevation and wind holds,
allowing structured corrections without overwhelming the sight picture. This
makes it particularly useful for shooters who prefer a combination of dialling
and holdover techniques.
Adjustment is controlled through MRAD-based turrets with
fine click increments, enabling accurate and repeatable corrections. The
inclusion of a mechanical zero return system ensures you can quickly
return to your base zero after making elevation changes, improving efficiency
during repeated shooting sequences.
An integrated illumination system enhances reticle
visibility when ambient light drops, allowing the aiming point to remain
distinct against darker targets or backgrounds. The brightness levels can be
adjusted to suit different lighting conditions without causing glare or
distraction.
The optical system uses high-grade glass and advanced
coatings, producing a clear image with strong contrast and consistent edge
definition. This helps maintain target visibility across the full magnification
range, particularly when shooting at extended distances.
The scope body is machined from a single-piece aluminium
tube, providing structural strength and maintaining internal alignment
under recoil. It is fully sealed to resist moisture, fogging and environmental
exposure, ensuring reliable performance in demanding outdoor conditions.

VMR-3 (MRAD)
Designed to maximize long-distance shooting and ranging
abilities, the VMR-3 reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges,
holdovers, windage corrections, and moving target leads. The fine center
crosshair subtensions on the VMR-3 reticle were carefully chosen to provide the
optimum balance between precision aiming and low-light visibility.
