Looking to protect your expensive optics and tactical gear? The Vortex Viper aids in accuracy and intel gathering for decision-making.Please note: Wrap must be user trimmed for use of flip caps and for variations in scope mounting positions. Officers are accountable for every round fired. In law enforcement, 100% target ID is a must. The Vortex Viper Gen II 1-6 is definitely an evolution in technology and also an advantage for patrol rifle operators. With the Viper in particular, adding a throw lever definitely aids in quick magnification changes and I would highly recommend adding it. As far as magnification levels, in a perfect world I would rather see a 1 power, 3 power and 6 power and limit the amount of rotation when dialing magnification. The LPVO is usually heavier than the smaller traditional red dot sight but not to a point where it makes it slower to bring the rifle on target. The only drawbacks I have found with LPVOs in general involve weight and the range of magnification. Again, having that greater magnification can aid in possible threat identification and allow for a more precise shot at these distances should a lethal threat present itself. I was recently in a giant office building that was over 200 yards from one side of the building to the other. When clearing big structures like warehouses, schools, large retail stores, there are distances that can easily be over 100 yards. For example, is the individual coming out of the structure pulling a cell phone or a weapon from their waistband? That extra magnification can assist with identifying possible threats.

Having a greater magnification range not only gives the patrol rifle operator the ability to deliver precise shots but also allows them to gather necessary information to take that shot. That can be anywhere from 10 to 50 yards depending on location (rural, suburban, urban). However, think about how far away officers set up from a home or structure on a barricaded subject. Yes, this optic gives the patrol rifle operator the ability to hit a target at 400 yards but the frequency of having to take a shot at this distance is pretty low. The other levels of magnification are great for precise shots in the 25 yard to 100 yard range and also to engage out to 400 yard range with a. I’ve had the opportunity to use other more expensive LPVO’s and at 1 power the target actually appears farther away. The optic offers a true 1 power with no distortion. This optic is bright and true to the magnification levels. The other advantage the Viper brings to the table is the glass clarity and the engineering of the scope. Once I realized that as long as I treated the Viper optic like a true red dot and keep both eyes open, I was able to get accurate hits on target at speed. To my surprise the red dot, although completely blacked out with the tape, was superimposed on the target because I had both eyes open. He then told me to keep both eyes open and bring the rifle and sight up to my eyes. The instructor put a piece of tape over the objective lens of a LPVO. Then I remembered a demonstration done at training. What would be considered a “scope shadow” would lead me to focus into the optic to get that perfect scope clarity and would lead me to be slow on target.

It took some time to get used to using this scope at CQB distances. I found the key to using this optic is to treat it like a red dot, both eyes open and don’t steer the rifle through the tube of the scope. The Viper LPVO set on the brightest setting and on 1 power is incredibly fast to get on target. They should then drive the rifle to that point, which in turn will bring the red dot to their eyes. With both eyes open, the shooter should pick an aiming point where they want the red dot to go. When shooting any type of red dot optic, it is important to keep both eyes open. Why the Viper LPVO is a viable option for CQB distancesįirst and foremost is the daylight bright red dot in the middle of the reticle. The purpose of this type of optic is to give the operator a sight that can be used at CQB distance to medium ranges around 400-500 yards.Ī couple of years ago, Vortex released a LPVO that truly is a CQB to medium range optic with its Viper PST GEN II 1-6x24. The LPVO is a sighting system that ranges in magnification, usually 1-4 power or 1-6 power and has some sort of illuminated reticle.
