New Vortex Viper HD 5-25X50 Scope Review

Posted: 4/14/2006 9:00:13 PM EDT

OK, so I was in a local fun shop the other day and they happened to have a FN PS90. So while talking to the guy working there, he offered to let me check it out-BIG MISTAKE!

I got out of the store safely with money in hand, however, I suffered a delayed reaction. I decided I want one but I have a few questions about them first. The main question is, what is the over-all length? What kind of lethality does the 5.7mm round have? Is it worth spending $1600 now or should I wait and hope that prices drop?

think of it this way: with the ammo that us peons can buy, it's a high cap .22 mag that costs 6 times as much to feed.

But it would still be a fun rabbit gun.

I would have to kill a lot of fucking rabbits to justify $1600. That's two AR-15s, a nice AR-10, or a SA58 and a GLOCK.

true, but a .223 AR15 is going to be cheaper to shoot, cheaper to buy, and explode bunnies in a much more entertaining way

Those things would have to get below a grand for me to consider one, and ammo would have to be probably at or less than $200 a case also.

Neat, but too damn expensive.

I love mine. Yes it is expensive. The ammo will hopefully come down some day. An AR would be my first choice if my life was on the line. But like most of us I like my range toys. Hell I spent 1,600.00 on an ORF 94 clone that is unrealiable but a fun range toy. I say if you have an itch and the means to scartch, DO IT. The legnth is 26 1/4.

For myself I am going to wait until they are below 1K.
