Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 VMR-1 MOA Riflescope

The Vortex Viper HS-T 6-24x50 VMR-1 MOA riflescope blends the best features from our popular Viper HS and Viper PST lines to deliver exceptional versatility for both hunters and tactical enthusiasts. The Viper HS-T is engineered for precise holds at extended ranges thanks to a hash mark based second focal plane reticle paired with rugged, repeatable windage and elevation turrets. This scope is built to excel in a wide range of environments, from tree stands to mountain tops, and it is equally at home on bolt actions or modern AR platforms.

Designed for long-range performance without sacrificing daylight clarity, the VMR-1 MOA reticle lives in the Second Focal Plane, ensuring the reticle subtensions stay true at every magnification. When you dial up to the upper end of 24x, the hash marks correspond to MOA holds that simplify range estimation, holdover, and wind drift corrections. This makes it an outstanding choice for shooters who demand consistent accuracy across engagements and distances. The optical backbone of the HS-T is reinforced by XR Lens coatings that maximize light transmission and reduce glare, delivering bright, high-contrast images across dawn and dusk shooting windows.

Optical performance is further enhanced by XD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass, which sharpens resolution, color fidelity, and image contrast. The result is a crisp sight picture with accurate edge-to-edge clarity, so you can place precise hits at longer ranges without squinting through a halo of distortion. The combination of the XR coatings and XD glass ensures your target appears with natural color and maximum clarity, even when lighting is less than ideal.

In terms of construction, the HS-T is built to withstand the rigors of real-world shooting. Its 30 mm tube provides greater strength and a wider adjustment latitude, while the one-piece tube maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and overall reliability. The scope is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum — a solid block of metal designed to deliver increased rigidity and resilience against recoil and impact. It is fully waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, with O-ring seals protecting the interior from moisture, dust, and debris in all environments. A hard anodized finish adds durability and a low-glare appearance, helping you stay concealed in the field. ArmorTek coating on the exterior lenses guards against scratches, oil, and dirt, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Practical shooting features include exposed tactical-style turrets that provide fast, precise, and easily read elevation and windage adjustments, so terrain changes won’t slow you down. The side focus (parallax adjustment) is conveniently located on the left side and can be manipulated from a shooting position to optimize parallax and image focus for your stance and distance. The CRS (Customizable Rotational Stop) Zero Stop is a standout internal feature that helps you return to zero after dialing temporary elevation corrections, safeguarding your zero under rapid shot sequences. The Precision Force Spring System and the Precision Glide Erector System contribute to smooth, repeatable magnification changes and reliable performance across temperature extremes and heavy recoil.

Beyond raw performance, the Viper HS-T balances practicality with an all-weather design. The hard coat anodization reduces glare and helps conceal your position while remaining rugged enough for field use. The scope’s internal mechanisms are designed to maintain alignment under recoil, ensuring consistent accuracy shot after shot. The overall package is tailored for a wide range of shooting disciplines—from big game hunting and varmint control to tactical applications and long-range target engagements. Whether you’re perched in a treestand, glassing from a high-altitude ridge, or dialing for precision shots on a steel gong at distance, the HS-T maintains a dependable and repeatable sight picture when it matters most.

Key features at a glance include a robust 30 mm tube, a one-piece housing, aircraft-grade aluminum construction, waterproof and fogproof sealing, shock resistance, and a hard-anodized finish with ArmorTek exterior protection. The XR anti-reflection coatings maximize light transmission on all air-to-glass surfaces, ensuring a bright sight picture from first light to last light. The combination of XD glass and the VMR-1 MOA reticle provides crisp resolution and reliable holdovers that can be trusted at extended ranges. Designed to pair with both bolt-action rifles and modern sporting rifles, this scope is a versatile choice for a broad array of shooting scenarios.
