Vortex Copperhead Second Focal Plane Riflescopes - Shockproof, Waterproof, Fogproof, Aircraft Grade Aluminum - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Excellent scope with very crisp optics. Also it is an incredible scope for the price. It was very easy to mount and zero.

Great price very clear

Great scope! True to size clear vision love it recomend!

It's too basic for my own purposes, but it was the 1st modern rifle scope that my father has ever had. I have been a Vortex diehard for many years and purchased dozens of different models, from the FFP Diamondback 4-16x44 MRAD EBR-2C Reticle, to the Razor FFP 3-18x50 EBR-7C MRAD reticle, Venom 5-25x56 and Strike Eagle 1-6x24... The Enhanced Battle Reticle (the Christmas Tree upside down) is great for ranging- the 2C is good, but the numbers are inside the vertical and horizontal planes, but the 7C moved them out to the ends of each hash mark, and the models with illumination are very helpful with open center cross hairs. Back to the Copperhead-- I had a budget of "no more than $100!" which I talked him into allowing me to adjust that to $150. I wanted to get him the crossfire II BDC reticle, but it had gone up to $199 and this one was $130, so it's what he wanted. I helped him with mounting & zeroing. it ultimately was the best thing for him. He loves the clarity, the capped turrets that were hand adjustable vs his last lifetime of scopes that require a dime or 33 flat to adjust the MOA (LOL he's old school) I couldn't possibly find it hard to imagine anything being able to impress him more- considering that he hates my MRAD EBR-2C & 7C reticles, and really REALLY hates exposed turrets despite their zero stops & the highly unlikely chance of "moving on their own " as he has expressed his worries about. I recommend this to anyone who is new to hunting scopes in the modern day and especially if you are like my dad and just coming from a steel tubed scope from the Vietnam era (okay maybe a little bit of an exaggeration lol ) but his last scope was definitely built in the 80s or 90s.

This is a good quality scope for the price. It has a few limitations though. The pluses? It is capable of being accurately sighted in and of shooting better than most people are capable of shooting. The reticle is good out to a couple hundred yards, and the verticle and horizontal hashmarks on the reticle lines are nice for on the fly adjustments for wind and distance. It's a good piece of gear and is going to land on a hunting oriented bolt action in my house eventually. Downsides - the windage and elevation adjustment knobs are not confidence inspiring or precise - the clicks are muddy and sometimes worth 1/4" of MOA, sometimes they aren't. The reticle is a bit thick for targets out past a couple hundred yards, could be a bit finer. And last, a neutral point, neother positive or negative, maybe because of the size it seems a little recoil sensitive, easily shifted a little, rotated in the scope mounts if they are only torqued to spec, with mounts on a pic rail. The scope doesn't lose function, it just rotates in theount. It will hold if over torqued but I don't like doing that,bit is bad practice. This isn't a big deal for a bolt gun but this is currently on a 308 DPMS pattern semiauto, and I sometimes burn a hundred rounds at the range. I think the size of the scope and the amount of bouncing around of the the semi-auto action with recoil is tough on the mounts. I think it has more to do with my choice of gun and it wouldn't be a problem with a small or mid-caliber center-fire bolt gun which may be fired 20 times total at the range and which doesn't have an action violently slamming back, then forward. Might be fine in an AR 15 pattern rifle due to the reduced recoil and movement, but I haven't tested that. I am going to switch to a smaller more tactical optic for this gun but definitely keeping this very nice scope for hunting use. As my picture shows it's easily possible to get a tight group using this scope and it has nice functionality with the 3-9 adjustment and hash marks on the reticles. I would buy it again.

This is my second Vortex scope and will not be my last. The scope holds zero even under brutal recoil. It's clear and gathers light well. I can recommend the scope for hunting.

LOVE THIS OPTIC! I have 3 now and will never go back. First one i got from cabelas and saw this on sale and put it on my 10/22.

Got this scope for my husband, and it’s been a great investment! Good product for the price.
