Packed with incredible optical performance and an abundance of features, the Viper HD is the ideal spotter for hunters and shooters. Premium high density (HD) extra-low dispersion optical glass delivers impressive resolution, limited chromatic aberration, and edge-to-edge sharpness. The 65mm objective lens is ideal for low-light conditions and features a special apochromatic design (APO) to deliver images with a natural color balance. The Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope comes with Vortex Optics' VIP Warranty.

Superior Optics

Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scope lenses are multi-coated with XR Plus anti-reflection coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces for maximum light transmission and minimum glare. The HD lenses combine with the APO system for higher color contrast, sharper images, and superior light transmission. Lenses with Dielectric Reflective Multilayer Coating provide critical low light performance by enhancing light transmission for more game-spotting opportunities. Plasma technology provides a cutting edge coating application process for unparalleled coating durability and performance. The Viper HD Spotting Scope contains a porro prism design with a 65mm objective lens that has a 15-45x magnification.

Durable Build

The Viper HD is built in a straight body design that allows for speedy target acquisition and ease of use. The porro prism design gives you maximum image quality and superior performance. ArmorTek exterior coating protects against scratches, oil, and dirt. O-ring seals prevent moisture and debris from penetrating the body. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging. The waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof body is housed in a compact size while delivering an extremely wide field of view so that you never miss a detail.

Convenience

Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scopes feature adjustable eyecups that you can twist up and down for precise setting that maximizes your comfort. Helical Focus allows for fast and fine adjustments. A built-in sunshade significantly reduces glare and shields the objective lens from rain and snow. A rotating tripod ring provides adjustable viewing angles.

Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scope (Straight)

Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scope (Straight) SKU: V501

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nick I recently bought a second hand Viper scope which had been used for ten years or so on a UK nature reserve. The scope itself is in great condition but the padded case is, not surprisingly, a bit battered. I emailed Vortex for advice on where to buy a replacement in the UK and I was amazed when Ryan said he would send me a new one under the lifetime warranty. I think that this is absolutely amazing - I knew the scope itself was covered, but was flabbergasted that the case was included! My scope now looks fantastic in its brand new case - brilliant. Thanks to all at Vortex. The scope is great too.
