Vortex Optics Venom First Focal Plane Riflescopes

High quality, and resonoble price.

The Vortex Venom FFP is an outstanding entry-point for anyone looking to get into long-range precision shooting without the massive price tag of a professional competition optic. The 34mm tube provides a generous amount of adjustment travel, which is essential when you start stretching out toward 1,000 yards. I found the glass clarity to be surprisingly sharp even at the higher end of the 25x magnification, with very little distortion around the edges. The EBR-7C reticle is well-designed and remains proportional to the target as you zoom, making holdovers and ranging much more intuitive. The RevStop Zero System is a huge plus, as it allows for a quick and reliable return to zero after you’ve been dialing for different distances. The included throw lever is a nice touch and makes magnification changes smooth and fast, which is helpful during timed stages or dynamic shooting. While the scope is on the heavier side, that weight contributes to a very solid and durable feel that can clearly handle heavy recoil. The turrets have a tactile and audible click that gives you plenty of confidence when making adjustments in the field. It’s a versatile, high-performing piece of glass that offers incredible value for both target shooters and hunters alike.

So far so good. Glass is clear, turrets are much more tactile than I’d thought. Not squishy like the diamondback tactical. The eyebox is very nice and black ring is very thin. We’ll see how durable it is over time but overall this is a very good optic for only $350-ish price range. The only drawback is no illumination but if you want that just get a strike eagle for a little extra money.

For the price of an FFP (first focal point) this scope is where its at. I've had my reservations of buying a vortex but I was able to hit targets all the way to 1200 meters easily

Amazing optic. First time purchasing a FFP optic and happy that I did. Glass is very nice and the build quality is fantasic so far. Lifetime warranty is just a bonus and was the ultimate determining factor for pulling the trigger.

Incredible optic! Right on par with ole lew pold. Made overseas if that bothers you though.

This isn't the lightest scope out there, but it is a great scope for the money. I have put this scope on 4 rifles, and I have loved the clarity of the glass and the function of the scope. All of my Vortex scopes have had clear glass, they are very durable, and I love the amount of adjustment these FFP scopes offer. Most of the rifles they are on are mostly used for range shooting, but I'm sure they would perform well for hunting too.

I have two Vortex Venom scopes. If you can do without the lit reticle, these scopes are fantastic. I use them on long range shooting and I love them.
