Rifle Scopes Vortex durability

[Robar498]

I purchased a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 about 6 months ago and mounted it on my Remington .308. I have put about 400 rounds down range with it and the scope has performed flawlessly. I purchased a Remington 700 5R MilSpec .300 win mag about 8 months ago and I am ready to put a scope on it. Does anyone have any experience with a Vortex scope on a high power rifle. I am concerned about the pounding that it will take mounted on the 300 win mag. Any and all replies are welcomed.

It'll be fine, if not then Vortex has great customer service and warranty.

Check out the Tundra Test on youtube, should be available on the Vortex site also. That answered all my questions about Vortex's durability

Good to hear. I am considering one of their Viper PST's for my 308 AR.

Had a 3-9x40 Viper on my .300wsm for a few years and it held up really well.

My Razor HD has performed flawlessly, and Vortex has some of the best customer service to compliment a very generous lifetime warranty. They have fixed several minor issues for me in a few days turnaround time

Re: Vortex durability

That is great news to hear. I cant wait to mount it on my 5R. I watched the two videos on the Vortex scopes Tundra Test and it was impressive. Thanks for the video links!

Re: Vortex durability

I put the PST on a 700 Police 300. win mag and had no issue what so ever. All depends on your rings

Re: Vortex durability

I use ARC rings and they are amazingly light and very strong...I would recommend them

I have Talley rings on two of my sticks and I love them. I will probably go with Talley again.
