Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 Long Range BDC Riflescope

The Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 Long Range BDC riflescope is an evolutionary upgrade built for long-range shooting and precision hunting. This riflescope blends a wide magnification range with a forgiving eye box, helping you lock onto targets quickly in fast-changing field conditions. Whether you’re dialing in a precise Long Range shot or stalking game at extended distances, the Viper HS delivers the reliability, clarity, and adjustment range that serious shooters demand.

At the heart of this scope is an optical system designed to maximize resolution and color fidelity. The XD Lens Elements use Extra Low Dispersion glass to reduce chromatic aberrations, delivering crisp, high-contrast images from edge to edge. Paired with XR coatings—Vortex’s fully multi-coated lens system—the result is improved light transmission that keeps subjects visible in low-light conditions, from dawn patrols to dusk ambushes. The combination of XD glass and XR coatings translates into brighter sight pictures, easier target recognition, and more accurate holdovers across the entire 4-16x magnification range. For hunters and shooters who demand sharp detail at distance, the Viper HS brings a vivid, usable image that helps you separate the target from the background with confidence.

Construction matters when you’re stacking up miles of field use. The Viper HS is built on a robust 30 mm one-piece machined aluminum tube, delivering enhanced strength and a broader adjustment latitude. The solid design provides more reliable windage and elevation travel, which is essential when you’re dialing in extremely precise long-range corrections. The exterior features a hard anodized finish with ArmorTek coating for scratch resistance and durability, helping protect the lenses from oil, dust, and abrasion while keeping a low glare profile for stealth during late-season hunts. This riflescope is engineered to thrive in harsh environments, as it’s fully waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof—thanks to o-ring seals and argon gas fill that prevent internal fogging across temperature swings and help maintain consistent performance under recoil and impact. If you want rugged reliability for all-season use, the Viper HS is up to the job.

Functionality and dialing precision come together in the CRS Zero Stop and exposed elevation turret. The Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) prevents you from dialing more than one full rotation below your zero, ensuring you never lose your zero during rapid elevation corrections. The exposed elevation turret offers 1/2 MOA clicks with a generous 24 MOA per turn, allowing fast and accurate holdovers when the moment demands rapid decision-making. For windage, the turret is thoughtfully designed with a 1/4 MOA per click and a total travel of 50 MOA, giving you ample adjustment range for side-to-side corrections without sacrificing dialing feel or repeatability. The MAG View magnification indicator, combined with raised rear-facing references, makes it easier to confirm your setting in low light while standing or kneeling during a hunt or match. These features are particularly valuable for shooters who engage in competitive long-range shooting or precision hunting where every click matters.

With practical specifications designed to support precision and repeatability, the Viper HS 4-16x50 LR model is tuned for demanding optics performance. The magnification range of 4-16x provides the versatility to handle close-quarters targets and distant silhouettes alike. The 50 mm objective lens captures more light, extending sight picture in dim conditions, while the 4 inches of eye relief help reduce recoil harshness and provide a comfortable viewing experience across multiple calibers. The field of view varies from wide to narrow across the zoom range, enabling rapid target acquisition at 4x and precise tracking at 16x. A 30 mm tube size enhances strength and allows a wider adjustment range before external components limit movement. Parallax is set at 50 yards, which is suitable for a broad range of shooting scenarios, from target shooting to varmint control, making this scope a versatile choice for shooters who value accuracy over the long haul.
