What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The turrets are smooth and the illuminated reticle is quite nice. The zero stop functionally is amazing once zeroed. Turrets track true and parallax dial is very smooth.
One click and you are illuminated. Illumination is powerful but i have noticed a slight bleed when it’s on 10 power and 25x zoom.
Hunting scopes are usually sighted in and left alone for years. The vortex viper goes from 100 yards (a typical zero setting) out to 500 yards, then back to 100 and hits the same hole if shooter and rifle are good enough. The scope has 70 moa of adjus... Read More
This scope was highly rated both by acquaintances i know that do long range shooting/hunting, as well as many blogs/forums. Perfect match for my ruger american hunter 20 6.

Highlights
Quality

Yes the raptor series nf are better but also 3x the cost
Packaging/appearance

The 5256 has a slightly different reticle with markings on the outer sides and not marked in the center crosshair as in the 5255
Competitiveness
I used a vortex percision qr cantilevered mount cm404
I looked at a name brand high end scope with a 34mm diameter tube and a 56mm objective lens
I had a competitors scope on my other rifle and though i like it quite a bit it was only a 4
I highly recommed that item if you are in the market for an excellent high power scope
