Hi

anyone with experience with these scopes? i bought a Viper 6-24x50 for price of dirt for my son's 22 mag rifle. my question is could this scope be used for my 6,5x55 too or it will not cope with center fire rifles recoil?

Hi

 

I have one of these on an FAC air rifle - well pleased with it. I also have a 6.5 x55 but have a nightforce on that rifle. However, if push came to shove, I would certainly put it on the 6.5 because I did read on another forum that a member had is Viper on a 308 without any problems of recoil etc.

Thanks for your reply. if I wasn't forced by home governement( beloved wife) . i had bought a swrowski or scmid&bender or night force for my husky 6,5x55 but i have to suffer and cut the hunting budget and buying cheap scopes.

From memory it will be fine. If you want to check with the makers/sellers try GaryC or Sammie on the Airgun BBS, they are MTC I believe.

get the best mounts you can buy and it should be alright

First one had dust on the reticle, I couldn't get the second one to hold zero, or have consistent turret adjustment, and the optics didn't seem as good. The first one had good optics, but... dust...
