Q&A

Q: Is this good for long-range target shooting?
A: Yes — the 15-45x zoom provides excellent magnification for mid-to-long range spotting, though extreme long-range shooters may prefer the 85mm version for more light gathering.

Q: How portable is the 65mm model compared to the 85mm?
A: The 65mm is lighter and more compact, making it easier to pack and carry in the field, without sacrificing too much image brightness.

Q: Can it handle harsh weather?
A: Absolutely. The Viper HD is O-ring sealed and argon purged, making it fully waterproof and fogproof.

Maintenance Tips

• Always use the lens covers when transporting or storing.

• Clean lenses gently with the included lens cleaning pen or a microfiber cloth.

• If exposed to rain or dirt, wipe the body dry and allow to air-dry fully before storing.

• Avoid leaving the scope in extreme heat or cold for extended periods.

• Use a sturdy tripod for best stability and clarity at higher magnifications.
