Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Vortex viper 6-24 tracking?

I�m looking to upgrade the scope on my target rifle. Currently, I have a VX II in a 6-18. The gun is a M700 varmint rifle with a HS stock in a .308

The gun is primarily a target rifle. It gets shot at 300 yards 1-2 times a week and 1-2 times a month out to 1000. I don�t do any competition, although I have a few friends who are pretty serious about it who are always pushing me to get out and do it. There may be some F class shooting in the future, although I would go mainly for fun and to learn more rather then as a serious competitor. I do occasionally hunt with this rifle when shots could be long and weight is not an issue.

I was originally looking at a night force 5.5-22, but my friend recommended looking at Vortex scopes. The Vortex Viper in a 6-24 caught my eye. My biggest concern is that they are a relatively new company and don�t really have a proven track record like night force.

The biggest priority I have would be that the scope tracks correctly. If it wasn�t designed to be repeatedly adjusted from 100 to 1000 yards, then it is probably not what I�m looking for. My second priority would be clear glass.

For hunting at a max range of 500 and informal shooting out to 1000 would I really see much benefit in getting a NF?

I also am looking at a mark 4 in 6.5-20 as another possibility. Given my intended use, what do you think?

I had 1 and it tracked very well. Sold it because it was too much power for what I had in mind.

I have three Vipers and they all track perfectly. I am happy with mine.

I have one on a LR prone rifle and tested it a fair amount. It tracks well. but I have only had it 6 months. So far I like it. Eye relief is just right and good bright optics
