Vortex is dedicated to the development and production of unique optics with features that allow you to see the world more clearly.

Viper riflescopes offer a cornucopia of high-end features to enhance your next great outdoor adventure. These scopes are fitted with XD-glass objective lenses with XR multicoatings for a refined sight picture with brilliant contrast and edge-to-edge clarity. Repeatable accuracy is ensured by the Precision-Glide Erector System and the Precision-Force Spring System - your zero will be easy to attain, and it'll stay put under recoil.

The importance of refinements such as the MAG-View Lever, pop-up turrets, and argon purging becomes readily apparent when you catch that first glimpse of a trophy buck way up high on a distant ridge. Your sight picture will be crystal clear, and rich with previously unseen details. Adjusting windage and elevation will seem effortless - you'll be on target at any distance in a flash.

This Viper PA 6.5-20x50 offers high-magnification for long-range target acquisition, and a large 50mm objective for a brighter sight picture. It's configured with a 30mm main-tube, tall turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks and 68 MOA of travel, a Mil-Dot reticle, and a matte black finish.

A mounting base and rings are used to attach a riflescope to a firearm. A comfortable sight picture is contingent upon the height of the rings. A comfortable cheek-weld is the result of properly positioning the scope over the receiver. Mounting the scope close to the receiver is preferable, yet scopes with larger objectives need higher rings so the front bell can clear the barrel. It should be noted that in many mounting applications, a professional gunsmith's skills will be needed for proper installation.

30mm One-piece aluminum main tube

Fast focus eyepiece for rapid target acquisition

Argon purging for water and fogproof performance

Side focus knob corrects parallax error from 50 yd to infinity

Tall target-style turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks and 68 MOA of travel

XD glass with XR multi-layer coatings deliver edge-to-edge clarity

MAG-View Adjustment Lever - visible numbers facilitates rapid magnification adjustment

The Mil-Dot reticle features four posts and fine cross hairs with dots. The dots can be used to gage distance to a target of a known size by employing the Mil-Dot distance-ranging system.
Second focal plane placement of the reticle maintains its size throughout the magnification range.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a crop factor with this adapter?In other words, if I use my Nikor 50mm 1.2, is it going to be a 50mm on a Sony FS7 or F5?thx M

A: Crop here wont be a factor of the Metabones adapter. Both the Sony FS7 and F5 are super 35mm cameras, which have roughly the same size sensor as an APS-C size sensor camera. So, In terms of DSLRs, there would be a crop factor of 1.5X. Any 50mm lens shot on these cameras would have an angle of view roughly equivalent to a 75mm lens shot on a full frame camera. While there are adapters that can help compensate for this (such as the Speed Boosters), this adapter is a normal adapter and will not have an effect on crop factor. That being said, as others have posted, if you use the adapter with full frame lenses on a full frame camera (such as the a7 series), there shouldnt be vignetting.

Q: 2. Hi, will this work with the sony a7r plus the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Lens? Thanks

A: You could use the Metabones Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter to mount a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens for Nikon on the Sony a7R, yes.

Q: 3. For ???Can I use this adapter for FF size Camera?I have 6 nikon Glenzs.14-2424-7024-12070-20060105

A: Yes, the Metabones Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter is compatible with the Nikon FX G series lenses have you have listed there with the Sony A7 camera.

Q: 4. I'm trying to find the correct adapter to use this lens: Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens on a Sony A6000. Is this the correct adapter? Are there other options? Thanks!

A: This is the right adapter for your Nikon G lenses. I had already bought an earlier Fododiox adapter before this one but it worked only with older Nikon lenses with manual aperture settings. That was the reason I bought this new adapter for G lenses, because you can dial in the aperture manually using the adapter's markings. It will also work with the older Nikon non-Ai, Ai, or AiS lenses.You have to know how to use it, because the markings do not specify the actual aperture values. The markings are F(widest) . 2 . 3 . 4 up to 8(smallest). Each number is equivalent to one stop. The dot in between the numbers can be the equivalent to a half-stop (i.e., 3.5, 4.5, 6.3 etc). From one dot to another dot is also equivalent to one stop.When using with a G lens, you use the adapter markings to adjust the aperture manually. Turn the adjustment to number 8 for the smallest opening and to the letter F for the widest. The adapter engages with the G lens aperture settings. This means you have to know the smallest aperture setting of the lens from #8, or the widest opening of the lens from F, and count the number of stops to where you want to set it using the following sequence: f/22, 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4, 2.8, 2, 1.4).When using with an older Ai or AiS manual lenses or with AF lenses with aperture settings, turn the adapter to 8 and then use the lens' aperture settings to adjust the opening. The lens' aperture setting will engage with the adapter's diaphragm.

Q: 5. So, are these TTL with Canon (5D3/1Dx/7D etc. and EF lenses)? There is a reference to a TTL pass through shoe but no outright TTL description as in the general non-Canon version of the Hahnel triggers.Thank you.

A: The transmitter does not transmit TTL data to the receivers, only to the flash mounted on it while it's on the camera. This is not a wireless TTL system but does allow you to control the power of the flashes wirelessly.

Q: 6. Can you control the aperture of a pc-e lens? Is there any solution?

A: The aperture is control by the manual iris ring on the meta bones. I believe there are seven stops to close down. The aperture will NOT be controlled by the camera body.

Q: 7. I want to use this with my Nikon G 70-300 mm lens (which is somewhat heavy). Does the foot have a 1/4-20 thread machined in it so I can mount my Manfrotto plate taking the stress off the NEX-6 tripod socket when using this lens on a tripod?

A: Yes it does. The foot of the adapter is designed to fit into Arca-Swiss type quick release assemblies, but can be removed to reveal a standard 1/4-20 thread size to connect to standard tripod heads and plates.

Q: 8. can you use high speed sync with this system?

A: No, this system does not have high speed sync.This model can do high speed sync but it does not do groups like the viper.hahnel Tuff TTL Flash Trigger For Canon CamerasB&H # HATTWTC ? Mfr # HL-TUFFTTLhttp://bhpho.to/QA3wA1

Q: 9. Hello,I have the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2/35 ZF.2 lens which I use on my D800. Would this Metabones Nikon G to E-mount/NEX (Black Matt) adapter allow me to use my Carl Zeiss lens on the Sony A7r?Thanks!

A: The Metabones Nikon G Lens to Sony NEX Camera Lens Mount Adapter would allow you to use a Nikon mount Zeiss lens (T* 2/35 ZF.2) on an E mount camera such as the a7R.

Q: 10. will this work with Tamron lenses with for Nikon cameras? Also, will it work with older manual focus Nikon lenses (non G)?

A: It should work fine with what you want. I have a couple of non-G lenses that I used with it. it worked fine. They will all be manual focus and not lens data will go to the camera The nex and A7 series cameras will read the light though and adjust on their own unless you set to full manual. I use in Aperture priority and it works great. Make sure to turn on the focus peaking on the camera it's very helpful.
