Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 Riflescope (Dead-Hold BDC MOA Reticle)

Vortex Optics riflescopes boast extreme durability, high mechanical precision, and superior high-definition optics. The Viper HS 4-16x44 Riflescope was carefully crafted and meticulously designed to make this rifle scope the ideal optical solution for a wide range of tactical applications. The Viper HS 4-16x44 Riflescope (Dead-Hold BDC MOA Reticle) brings you exceptional image quality thanks to the XD (extra-low dispersion) optical glass. The 44mm objective lens features a BDC reticle that offers shooters highly functional, intuitive, and detailed hold points, yet remains uncluttered for optimal viewing. The Vortex Viper Riflescope comes with Vortex Optics' VIP Warranty.

Superior Optics

Viper HS 4-16x44 Riflescope lenses are fully multi-coated with XR Plus anti-reflection coatings for maximum light transmission and minimum glare on all air-to-glass surfaces. The XD glass provides higher color contrast, sharper images, and superior light transmission. The glass-etched reticle was precision etched in the second focal plane for an image that always maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. It designed to provide precise aiming even at the longest range and lowest light conditions.

Dead-Hold BDC Reticle

The Viper’s Dead-Hold BDC aiming reticle is designed to help eliminate guesswork on holdover and windage corrections.

This type of reticle is good for hunting or other types of shooting where you’ll be aiming at targets across very long distances. The Dead-Hold reticle can be used effectively with high powered rifles, rimfire rifles, black powder rifles and slug shotguns. The BDC Reticle is constructed in the second focal plane and maximizes long-distance shooting and ranging abilities for your Viper HS Riflescope. The reticle was hash-marked using MOA based subtension lines as a reference for bullet-drop as well as bullet drift in windy conditions; the ultra-precision laser etching on the glass reticle is kept to the tightest tolerances possible.

The BDC reticle has a max windage adjustment level of 50 MOA and a max elevation adjustment level of 50 MOA.

Durable Build

Constructed out of aircraft-grade aluminum, this Vortex Optics Riflescope has a tube size diameter of 30mm in a single-piece tube designed to maximize alignment for improved accuracy and optical performance. A tough hard-coat anodized exterior combines with ArmorTek exterior coating to help protect your scope protects against bumps, bruises, scratches, oil, and dirt. O-ring seals and Argon gas purging create a waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof body.

Internal Mechanisms

Capped tactical turrets give you extreme control for fast and accurate elevation and wind adjustments thanks in-part to the integrated locking mechanism that prevents accidental adjustments. The Precision-Force Spring System ensures maximum repeatability and ease of adjustment in the erector-spring system while the Precision-Glide Erector System ensures components of the zoom lens mechanism glide smoothly and cleanly through the entire magnification range.
