Another vortex scope question

[beauhunter41031]

I’m setting a rifle up for some long range play and currently bidding on some GEN 2 vipers with the zero stop turrets however I am curious if this particular viper could be adapted with adjustable Turrets?
I’ve done some Internet looking and coming up with no results so figured I would throw the question out here. It seems like a heck of a price for the scope in general if it could be made with turret swap out. Also, I apologize if I’m not using proper grammar or punctuation. Siri is dictating all of this as I am driving down the road currently.

It is a good buy in the Low-Medium price market.
So. Are you wanting Adjustable Turrets without the Adjustment Caps? "Tactical" type?
They sell several that cost a bit more that are what you are describing.
Here's one that I already have a photo of.


Sell a bull calf or two and you can have what you want. Only 1 calf for that scope. We all KNOW if ya got Cows, you Rich.
(I've heard that crap all my life.)

Kenton Industries may make what you're looking for, MOA or Mil. $130+. If you get that scope, keep your fingers crossed the internals/erectors are good. That's the main issue with scopes, not tracking good.

So that viper from Sportsmans warehouse can be adapted/upgraded with those Kenton turrets?

I’d love to have a zero stop for my elevation

Don't know. I think I googled what you were asking and Kenton came up. Didn't dig into it.

How much are you looking to spend? I know a lot of guys like them, but man Vortex sure seems to have a lot of issues with scopes being returned.

10-4 .. kinda what I did but just wasn’t 100% sure. I’m still winning bidder on a couple of those other vipers so we’ll see what happens in the next couple days.

I’m such a tightwad I’d love to find something used for under 500 bucks. And I think having a zero stop elevation turret is an attractive feature. I want to feel like the scope I end up with was an absolute bargain that I couldn’t pass up. I’m fully aware that you get what you pay for and glass is almost more important than the rifle. However, this is just gonna be some thing to play around with. It might come out of the safe a couple times a year so I’d rather spend money on a hunting rifle or something riding around in my truck if that makes any sense.

I’ve heard a couple thing about Arken scopes. Seems a couple negative reviews but the majority seem to find them quite worth the money. However, they’re a big 34 mm tube and almost looks ridiculous.

Sell you our Burris I bought last year for $400, I paid 5 something for it. It's in mils, which is what I wanted. Didn't break the bank for a play thing. I've just never cared for it. I think this is the one we have.

Understand. Don’t know if you’ve ever been on the forum below, but there’s some good buys on used optics from time to time.

I value your opinion on most everything. I’ll respectfully pass on your burris

My boy "thinks" he has it dialed in. I told him i wouldn't trust it banging steel out to 1000 shooting with a marine friend that got him interested in LR. My zero patience got the best of me on this one. Maybe one of the Burris fan boys on here will be interested.

You know, you can leave the turret caps off and shoot it like that. If something happens...send it back, they have a lifetime warranty. It should be moisture and dust proof and not leak if it does and if they ask just tell them it rained and the things leaked.

Exactly. For MY use I don't like the Tactical knobs which are exposed. I am klutzy and always laying my rifles down and scrubbing up against something and turning the knobs.
Yes I have Had them, and still do, but for rough usage (Hunting and carrying in a vehicle) I don't have to constantly Check the Turrets to see if i moved one.
