I have two vipers. One is an 2.5x10 hd
It's great for most hunting I do and turned down to low power is almost like night vision.

2nd is a pst 6.5x20
This scope has been beaten on since day one! It has always tracked true and can parallax out to about 800 yards. Has ok glass for my budget. This scope has impressed me!

I got to go out and sight mine a couple weeks ago and was really impressed. I have a 6.5-20x44 with the dead hold bdc recticle on my tikka t3 lite. I will need to put some range time in to make sure i am completely confident with the scope but i was already making 400 yard shots pretty easy. It may be to much scope for me though up in the pasayten wilderness since our farthest shot since i have hunted up there was only 200 yards. Thank you guys for the input  :tup:

I have several 6.5x20 vipers, like them alot. I also use the dimondback and it'd good for shorter range.

Better than average units.
Glass is clear and the cross hair turrets are accurate and return to zero without issue.
However;
On mine, the arrows on the horizontal turret are backwards. If you want to move point of impact to the right, turn turret in left direction according to arrows.
Took about 10 rounds of ammo to figure that one out.  I'm sure I wasted a few cuz I just couldn't believe it.
