Scope is dial it, aim it, shoot it accurate.

First off thank you for making great products and having the best warranty in the business. I purchased this Viper HST 6X24X50 In October 2017 This scope is great. the tracking and accuracy are spot on. I have used it at every practical distance with great success. Anything from 25 yds to as of this last weekend 1 mile are no problem for this optic. I am delighted with how good the optic performs. accurate and repeatable adjustments leave nothing to worry about but your own inputs. You do your part the scope does its part. Happy Marksman ...

Quality scope

I have a Viper HST 4-16X44MM on my coyote rifle and I have grown to completely trust it. So much so, I purchased the 6-24X50MM for my new 6.5prc. It is a thing of beauty and an absolute tack driver. I am very pleased with Vortex and the Viper HST line. Will buy again if the need ever arises.

Awesome optic

Viper 6x24 50 FFP 2 NV Pronghorn Antelope. One at 380 yds and one at 837 yds. Both, one shot clean kills. Could not have done it without this scope! Purchased the scope specifically for this gun intended for longer distance hunting.

Scope mounting breaker

Well today is a bad day. I was mounting my scope and it took a fall off the shooting bench at the range and it hit the concrete floor my heart stopped as I watched it fly apart. I have had the scope on many rifles. That saying a lot vortex is the only company I have used in seven years. I trust the vip warranty. Never had to use it until now. I hope there able to fix or replace this scope. How crazy is it. Thanks for a great product. I have three scopes, binocular, spotting scope and rangefinder. All from the vortex. Thanks guys again

Amazing glass

This scope is really really nice, especially for the price. I?ve seen glass twice the price that?s not as nice as the Vortex Viper HST

Spot On and Solid Product

I bought my Viper 4 years ago for my hunting rifle. Only used the mill dot at the range never hunting. One evening last fall, two doe came out at an unknown distance. Using the Mil and calculator on my phone moments later laid her down. Ranged it between 425-450 and my vortex put it on the mark. This scope is clear, solid and reliable. The only brand I?ll ever buy.

Disappointed

I have a Vortex PST 1-6 that I love, but this 6-24x50 offers no head movement at all before the black shadows come in from the sides of the scope.

This Is An Outstanding Scope

I put this scope on my .30-06 X-bolt and I've never looked through a better scope. I have the MOA reticle and I think it's a bit more accurate than the MRAD. It's clear, and I've had really good success in my groups.

Awesome Quality!

First off don’t let someone talk down this scope compared to the Viper PST. In my opinion the only difference is the Illumination of the PST. The Viper HST is very nice quality with more elevation MOA. Both are good but to me the HST is of equal value.

Amazing scope for the money

I have had this scope for about a year now and I wanted to give it some time and make sure it really was as good as I thought it was right away. I have used it at many ranges indoor and outdoors out to 1000 yards. This scope does not disappoint extremely clear glass great focus and holds zero every time. I highly recommend this scope. I own nothing but vortex optics in my rifles.

Works great!

I bought this off amazon a little while ago with matching vortex rings. Had it mounted on my S&W M&P 10 and got it zeroed at 100 in just a few shots. Took it out to 600 and was consistently grouping 1-1.5 moa from 200, 400, and 600 yards. Made the necessary adjustments and had a great time!

Turrets very tactile, good weight, great warranty.

Turrets on the 6-24x50 Viper HST are superb, positive clicks, easy to grip. Unfortunately had an issue with the reticle sticking. Vortex Optics' Australian distributer replaced the scope no questions asked. Scope now sits a top of my Tikka T3X 25-06 Super Varmint and is a perfect match, love it.

Great scope for everyday use!

I’ve had this scope for roughly 3 years and it is amazing and well built. Light and can go very well in either a hunting rifle as well as in an AR. Vortex warranty is top notch!

Amazing scope for my predator slayer!

This is the 3rd Vortex rifle optic I have purchased, fourth vortex product counting my binoculars. I bought this scope for my .220 swift. I wanted something clear and powerful for shooting out to 500 yards, but I didn't want to break the bank. For what I spent, I do not think you can find a better scope. The turret adjustments are crisp, so you don't have to look up from your scope to watch how many clicks you are actually getting when turning, you feel every one and know. I will continue to put other brands of scopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and range finders I own in my "garage sale" tote and replace with Vortex.

Best rifle scope I got so far

I got this scope for more than 2 years now and and I am so happy with it! I just hope there’s a different color for it like the RAZOR which I couldn’t afford Lo, but overall best scope for the price! I would recommend it to everyone.

Awesome scope super clear

I used to have a Diamondback and was very happy with the scope i ran into some issues after moving it from one gun to another. I had overnighted the ring bolts. In a matter of less than two weeks i had a brand new Diamondback to replace the one that was damaged. In the meantime i went ahead and got this viper HST and im glad that i did was the best purchase so far. Great products and even better warranty

Premium Product

I purchased this scope to accommodate my 6.5 Creedmoor so that I could better get into the long range arena. I am not disappointed in the least bit! I especially like the "return to zero" feature with the rings that one installs on the turrets. That takes the guesswork out of returning to 100-yard zero for hunting applications. I also purchased the PMR rings to go with the scope and I am also happy with the outcome as well. The eye relief takes a little getting used to but once I figured that out I was in good. I've had high end scopes in the past but I feel that I was paying more for the price than the actual function... Yes, you get what you pay for but with Vortex you get more than your money's worth. Thank you.

A lot of bang for the buck

Glass is very clear, turrets are crisp, parralax is responsive and consistent, reticle is clean and simple but functional for ranging, and the entire package is well manufactured and feels very tough and rugged. For the avg street price, the HSTs are hard to beat.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Great Scope! I own 4 of theses.

By zpurdie

I bought My first vortex viper scope back in 2015, and installed it on a Remington 700 in .308. It tracks perfect. Since then I have bought 4 more and installed them on all my long range rifles. All of them track perfectly, and return to zero! Thank you Vortex for supplying a great product at a great price, and standing behind it! I will continue to buy vortex scopes. And I have gotten serveral of my friends on the Vortex band wagon now! God Bless.

Would purchase again but

By Duckles

This scope is great! I would absolutely buy this scope a second time if I ever needed to! BUT! With vortex’s warranty I may never have to! Unless I purchase another LR gun, I have this scope mounted on my Ruger precision rifle in 6mm creedmoor and its awesome! Couldn’t be happier with vortex for the quality to price ratio!

The Vortex Optics Viper HS-T 6-24x50 Riflescope with VMR-1 MOA Reticle is designed to be a versatile scope for use in the field, on the range and for tactical operations with medium to long-range targets. All of the scope's glass is made with XD extra-low dispersion glass and are XR antireflective fully multicoated to produce images that are bright and clear, with true color representation without distortion, across the entire field of view. Its large objective lens is ideal for use in low-light conditions such as at dawn and dusk when many game animals are most active. The 30mm main-tube is made from a single piece of aluminum. A matte-black hard anodized finish reduces reflection off the scope body and resists scratching and corrosion. It's argon-filled for water and fogproof performance in all weather conditions.

Adding to the HS-T's versatility is the modified duplex VMR-1 MOA reticle situated on the second focal plane. This utilitarian reticle has thick outer posts and thin center hairs with MOA hash-marks on both axes for ranging, hold-over and shot correction. The lower vertical post is shorter to provide a longer elevation range.
