Vortex Optics Copperhead Second Focal Plane Riflescope - Dead-Hold BDC Reticle

This is my second Vortex scope and will not be my last. The scope holds zero even under brutal recoil. It's clear and gathers light well. I can recommend the scope for hunting.

Decent scope. My only issue is the eye relief is not the best, but other than that…no issues.

It's too basic for my own purposes, but it was the 1st modern rifle scope that my father has ever had. I have been a Vortex diehard for many years and purchased dozens of different models, from the FFP Diamondback 4-16x44 MRAD EBR-2C Reticle, to the Razor FFP 3-18x50 EBR-7C MRAD reticle, Venom 5-25x56 and Strike Eagle 1-6x24... The Enhanced Battle Reticle (the Christmas Tree upside down) is great for ranging- the 2C is good, but the numbers are inside the vertical and horizontal planes, but the 7C moved them out to the ends of each hash mark, and the models with illumination are very helpful with open center cross hairs. Back to the Copperhead-- I had a budget of "no more than $100!" which I talked him into allowing me to adjust that to $150. I wanted to get him the crossfire II BDC reticle, but it had gone up to $199 and this one was $130, so it's what he wanted. I helped him with mounting & zeroing. it ultimately was the best thing for him. He loves the clarity, the capped turrets that were hand adjustable vs his last lifetime of scopes that require a dime or 33 flat to adjust the MOA (LOL he's old school) I couldn't possibly find it hard to imagine anything being able to impress him more- considering that he hates my MRAD EBR-2C & 7C reticles, and really REALLY hates exposed turrets despite their zero stops & the highly unlikely chance of "moving on their own " as he has expressed his worries about. I recommend this to anyone who is new to hunting scopes in the modern day and especially if you are like my dad and just coming from a steel tubed scope from the Vietnam era (okay maybe a little bit of an exaggeration lol ) but his last scope was definitely built in the 80s or 90s.

Great price for the quality you receive

I recently bought my nephew a new deer rifle and wanted an affordable scope. Vortex is the big name in popular scopes these days. I took a chance on this one although I'm not overly happy with a higher quality Vortex on my Ruger 6.5CM. When I opened the box, I was surprising pleased with the clarity and the excellent eye relief. Nothing will ruin a new young hunter that getting a bloody eyebrow from scope bite!

Scope is great. Vortex makes good quality. Super easy to zero and adjust accordingly. Holds zero as well.

Great scope!! Very clear. Easy to adjust. I recommend it!

Great scope have vortex on all my rifles
