Re: Vortex Viper vs Weaver Grand Slam Tactical
I can only speak to weavers. Every weaver that I have is a great scope. IMO, alot of scope for the money. All that I own have great glass for the money, more than what I expected in that price range. Good scopes for the money. I can't compare to the viper though.

Re: Vortex Viper vs Weaver Grand Slam Tactical
The Weaver GS Tact. is gonna out perform the Vortex Viper. The vipers series are kinda hit and miss. Had 3 already and one was horrible and the other 2 were ok. I'd go Weaver!! Heck the grandslams with the one inch tubes and 40mm objectives just blow the vipers away from MY experience and your gonna get a added feature or 2 with the Tactical model too.
Hope it all works out

Re: Vortex Viper vs Weaver Grand Slam Tactical
Thanks for the replies and sorry for taking so long to reply back. I actually have both of theses scopes. It may be my eyes but I am now having trouble seeing clearly with my Vortex. When I first got it I thought it was similar to a Vari-x III but now it is blurry. The weaver is a excellent scope for the money. I recently put 1 on a 243 and I am loving the mil mil. It is nice to have a matching reticle and turret combination. I need to call Vortex soon I guess and see if I could return mine for repair.

Re: Vortex Viper vs Weaver Grand Slam Tactical
I have both scopes. I have 2 6-20x target dot vortex that I got on Sale. They are mounted on some 1022s and I have the 3-10 weaver mil scopes on some 22lr training rifles. I think the the vxIII and weavers are better IMO. I was considering getting one of the PSTs, however, after reading the reports, I will go with the SS5-20 or Mk4 or weaver tactical. I don't think the glass on the vortex is as good as some of the scopes I mentioned. Vortex does have outstanding CS. Depending on how far you plan on shooting will help you determine your choose.

Have you confirmed that the diopter adjustment or parallax aren't the problem? Probably the first things I would check if the image quality suddenly seemed different.
