Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 Long Range XLR (MOA)

The Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 Long Range XLR (MOA) is engineered to push your shooting distance farther where bullet drop and wind drift become critical. This long-range riflescope is built for precision at extended ranges, delivering reliable performance from dawn to dusk. Designed to meet the needs of serious shooters, the Viper HS LR blends advanced optics with rugged construction to keep your zero and your confidence intact, even in challenging environments.

At the heart of the scope is the XLR Reticle (MOA), a hash-mark MOA-based long-range reticle with wind-drift dots and 1 MOA wind reference subtensions. This layout is ideal for long-range shooters dialing for bullet drop or opting to hold over while using the reticle. The reticle is built into a First Focal Plane (FFP) design, meaning the scale of the reticle remains proportional as you zoom. With constant subtensions, you can hold accurate ballistic guesses and make precise ranging decisions at all magnifications, providing a dependable tool for precision shooting across a broad spectrum of conditions.

Optically, the Viper HS LR employs XR lens coatings and XD lens elements to maximize clarity, brightness, and color fidelity. Vortex XR coatings increase light transmission across all air-to-glass surfaces, helping you maintain a bright, high-contrast sight picture in low-light moments when every lumen counts. The XD glass elements reduce chromatic aberration, delivering sharper resolution, richer color, and crisper edge definition across the image. Combined, these optical features translate into an image that is easier to acquire, track, and interpret at extended distances where every minute of angle counts.

Construction and durability are built into every component. The scope features a robust 30 mm tube, one-piece body construction, and an aircraft-grade aluminum chassis designed for fatigue resistance and long-term reliability. The waterproof design uses O-ring seals to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from infiltrating the interior—ensuring dependable operation in the field. Fogproof performance is achieved by nitrogen gas filling, which helps suppress internal fogging as temperature and humidity shift. The rugged build is also shockproof, with lenses locked securely in place by machined locking rings to maintain precise alignment despite recoil and impact. A hard anodized finish provides durable, low-glare protection, helping you stay invisible to game and competitors alike, while ArmorTek adds an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating to guard exterior lenses against scratches, oil, and dirt.

In terms of convenience, the Viper HS LR offers features that streamline use during a hunt or match. The CRS (Custom Rotational Stop) zero stop helps prevent dialing beyond your intended zero, so large elevation corrections won’t erase your point of aim. The Exposed Elevation Turret provides rapid dialing with 1/2 MOA clicks and 24 MOA per full turn, enabling fast, precise holdover corrections when needed. A MAG View indicator combines a fiber optic magnification reference with raised rear-facing references for quick, at-a-glance confirmation of your current magnification, even in low-light conditions. The Radius Bar fiber optic turret rotation indicator delivers an illuminated, tactile reference for turret rotations, helping you maintain situational awareness during quick target acquisition. The Fast Focus Eyepiece allows quick and easy reticle focusing, while the Side Focus mechanism on the left side fine-tunes parallax to reduce shooting errors at varying distances.

Why choose the Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 Long Range XLR (MOA)

For shooters who demand consistency across varying lighting, weather, and distance, this scope delivers a reliable platform for precision. The combination of a First Focal Plane reticle, MOA-based XLR reticle, and wind-drift reference dots provides a comprehensive toolkit for ballistic calculation without constant reticle re-zeroing as you adjust magnification. The internal construction resists the challenges of recoil and environment, while the armor-protected exterior and scratch-resistant lens coatings help preserve optical clarity and accuracy shot after shot. Whether you are dialing in precise elevation corrections for long-range engagements or holding over for wind drift at unknown ranges, this riflescope keeps pace with your ambitions.

Designed with both hunters and competition shooters in mind, the Viper HS LR balances performance with practical usability. The 30 mm tube allows greater adjustment range and sturdiness compared to slimmer alternatives, translating to more precise windage and elevation adjustments at extended distances. The exposed elevation turret is designed for rapid, tactile dialing, delivering repeatable accuracy when time and precision matter most. With the ability to dial in elevation corrections precisely and maintain a known zero via the CRS, you’ll spend less time worrying about the mechanics of your scope and more time focusing on shot placement.

In the field, the Vortex Viper HS LR’s optics excel in challenging light conditions. The combination of XD glass and XR coatings helps you distinguish subtle contrasts at dawn or dusk, while the ArmorTek coating protects against wear from handling, solvents, and rough use. The rugged design is crafted for real-world applications—from backcountry expeditions to high-intensity competitions—ensuring dependable performance where it counts most. The side focus parallax adjustment is particularly helpful when engaging at distances where parallax error can skew your aim, enabling finer control over your reticle placement and shot alignment.

If you’re evaluating long-range optics, consider the synergy of features offered by this scope: a robust, weather-resistant build; a versatile reticle designed for precise holdovers and wind compensation; optical elements that maximize light transmission and clarity; and user-centric innovations that streamline field use. The Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 Long Range XLR (MOA) embodies a well-rounded package that supports responsible, accurate, and repeatable shooting across a variety of applications.
