Vortex Viper HS LR Riflescope — 2.5-10x32 Long Range XLR MOA

Experience precision at extended distances with the Vortex Viper HS LR riflescope. The Vortex Viper HS LR riflescope is built for long-range performance, featuring capped windage and elevation turrets and a first focal plane XLR reticle that stays in proportion as you zoom, so holdovers and windage references remain accurate from 2.5x up to 10x magnification. Whether you’re dialing for bullet drop or holding for wind at distance, this scope helps you stay on target when margins are thin and decisions matter most.

At the heart of the Viper HS LR is an optical system engineered for clarity and versatility. The XD lens elements useExtra low dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberration, delivering crisp resolution and true color fidelity across the field of view. Combined with XR fully multi-coated lenses, the sight picture is bright and high-contrast from first light to last light, even in challenging lighting. The result is a consistently sharp image with improved edge-to-edge clarity, so you can identify heat mirage, wind breaks, and distant landmarks with confidence as you push toward your maximum range.

The scope’s reticle is purpose-built for long-range shooters. The XLR-1 MOA-based reticle features hash-marked subtensions, wind drift dots, and explicit 1 MOA wind references, making it an ideal tool for dialing elevation or holding for bullet drop at extended distances. The first focal plane design ensures the scale of the reticle remains true as you change magnification, so your holdovers, ranging, and drop calculations stay precise from 2.5x to 10x. If you prefer a consistent aiming reference across the zoom range, the XLR MOA reticle is a dependable choice that pairs perfectly with precise hand loads or factory ammo alike.

Construction and durability are hallmarks of the Viper HS LR. It rides on a rugged 30 mm diameter one-piece machined aluminum tube, delivering increased windage and elevation travel while maintaining maximum rigidity. The whole assembly is built from aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and weight efficiency, and it is engineered to withstand the recoil and impacts common to demanding environments. A waterproof, fogproof design is achieved through O-ring seals and argon gas purging, which helps prevent internal fogging across a wide temperature range and keeps moisture, dust, and debris out of the optic. ArmorTek helps protect exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt, preserving image quality and lens longevity even in harsh field conditions.

In the field, the Viper HS LR is all about reliability and fast, repeatable adjustments. Capped reset turrets allow quick re-indexing to zero after sighting in, with protective caps providing external coverage when not in use. The scope also features a side focus (parallax) adjustment on the left side for precise focus at varying distances, a crucial feature for maintaining parallax-free viewing as targets range out. For shooters who demand consistent performance under a variety of conditions, the precision mechanical design is complemented by a Precision Force Spring System and a Precision-Glide Erector System, which work together to deliver smooth, repeatable magnification changes and reliable elevation adjustments—even in freezing temperatures or heavy recoil.

Beyond raw optics, the Viper HS LR emphasizes practical convenience. A fast-focus eyepiece allows rapid reticle focusing so you can acquire targets quickly after a scan to ensure your aim is accurate from the moment you shoulder the rifle. The inclusion of a mag-related feature—the View Fibre Optic—provides a visible reference point for magnification setting, helping you confirm your scope’s status at a glance in dynamic shooting scenarios. The combination of a forgiving eye box and increased eye relief also contributes to quicker target acquisition and comfortable shooting for a wide range of shooters, from precision hunters to competition shooters.
