Mount the Viper
Adjust Magnification
Adjust the Focus
After setting the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. To adjust the focus, rotate the focus dial until images becomes clear.
• Slowly turn the focus dial until the subject is in focus.
Adjust the Eyecup
The adjustable eyecup on the Viper HD spotting scope twists up and down so you can observe the full field of view if you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses. Fully extend the eyecup for best viewing without glasses.
Flexible Viewing Angle
The tripod mounting collar of the Viper allows you to rotate the spotting scope body for greater viewing flexibility.
• Turn the thumbscrew counter-clockwise to loosen the mounting collar.
• Rotate the spotting scope body to a comfortable viewing angle.
• Keep in the preferred viewing position by securing the mounting collar with a clockwise turn of the thumbscrew.
Extendable Sunshade
Extend this fitted hood to effectively block out disturbing stray light. The sunshade also shields the objective lens from mechanical damage and guards against soiling by fingerprints and precipitation.

I didn't realize it would be so much larger than my Leopold (my fault). You need a sturdy mount and be careful, it's very front heavy. The image quality and clarity is the best I've seen and also have other products from Vortex in this category (Viper) and very pleased. This perfectly suits my needs at the range where I can make out .17 caliber holes at 200 yards and .22 caliber holes at 300 yards.

I’ve had my eye one one of these for several years. It’s used for birdwatching and also stargazing. The straight scope is easier to locate target than angled. I paired this with the vortex ridgeveiw tripod.

The variable eyepiece that comes with the Viper HD 85mm spotting scope is great at shorter ranges, but struggles at long range in both image quality and field of view. Fine if you’re scanning for deer in the hills, not as good if you’re looking for holes in a target at 500 yards. This VS-85 REM (MRAD reticle version) is fixed at 33.5X, but the picture and field of view looking at the same target with the stock variable eyepiece are hands down better. I can read Texas on a Texas license plate at 550 yards with no problem as long as it’s not too distorted in the heat of the day with heat waves. And even then, I can read the larger license number. The field of view is vastly wider and edge to edge picture is solid. If you’re buying the Viper 85mm spotting scope, you really need to pick up this reticle eyepiece. Game changer. As an aside, you really need a decent tripod and some time learning how to operate the scope to reap the full rewards of the setup. Too many reviewers describing problems that are almost certainly user error. Just my two cents, hope it helps others.

Unbelievable clarity. Expensive but worth it

Dad joke aside, this scope is really something. It's easy to adjust and use, light enough, and does a great job for quick setup and good viewing. The neoprene sleeve is helpful (it comes with that), although I've yet to understand *exactly* how to use the sleeve and pull the sunshade out without it getting awkward. That being said, I've loved this thing, and for me the 45x is plenty (compared to the 60x). In my area, heat shadows or air conditions make it hard for the 60x to help too much more anyway. Compared to the Razor HD i've powered before, it's hard to really tell the difference unless you're an expert on optics (I've been told). Plus, the Vortex guarantee...need I say more than that. Love it!

It is a very nice scope if you restrict the zoom to 35X. Some place between 35x and 45x (max) focusing is a challenge.

Ottimo prodotto, anche se avrei preferito pagarlo un filino di meno...

Honestly the picture with the stop sign doesn’t really do it any justice because my phone was really moving. And the picture of someone back yard was at x60 at 1038 yards and there was a bit of rain on the lens. But all in all it’s hands down an outstanding product
