re: Great deal on Vortex Viper

This scope is pretty clear, came in today. Just holding it eye relief seems a little off. Midway and Amazon both have the Leupold VX-R with illuminated reticle for $375, 3-9x40. I have read it's glass is the same as the VX3-I. It will come in tomorrow so I'll compare it to this Viper.

I'm in the same boat, every optic above a couple hundred dollars seems to have BDC reticles, dial turrets, all tacticool. I just want the best glass that stays zeroed. If you don't mind spending more money, check out the Meopta Optika6. That's what I really want, bit I haven't even rifle hunted in 10 years because I strictly bow hunt. I couldn't justify $600 on a scope I may not use that often when these Leupolds and Vortex optics are 250-375.
