Ok I'm thinking this one now. I like the glass with 6.5 but don't think it'll have enough low end magnification. I wish this thing had target turrets (which I know can be had at a later time), and a mil-dot reticle. Also the weight is a little on the hefty side. I was looking at a sight tron and the buy in is a little too rich for my current budget.
Also I would like the swfa salt mount but it doesn't seem as though they sell it sperately. Worse case I'll get the Burris pepr. The pro is that it can be had with a QD mount. The pro for the swfa mount is that it has inserts from 30mm to 1".
Apparently there's a guy at the Portland gun show who carries vortex only. I'm going to see if I can do some side by side comparisons with the regular viper and the hs.
