Turret Rotation
Vortex Viper HS LR riflescopes incorporate Vortex’s patented Radius
Bar to visually assist in keeping track of turret rotations. The Radius Bar
provides a quick visual reference that allows the shooter to confirm:
• Knob orientation is correct and has
not shifted as a result of accidental
contact.
• Knob orientation is at the zero point
when using the CRS feature.
• By watching the position of the bar
while making elevation adjustments, the
shooter is able to quickly track full, half
and quarter rotations.
To get these benefits from the Radius Bar, the “0” mark on the turret must
be indexed with the zero reference line on turret post (see Setting the CRS
Stop and Indexing Elevation Knob on page 14).

Variable Power Adjustments
To change the magnification, turn the magnification ring to the desired
level. The Vortex fiber optic
magnification indicator will
provide a low light reference

Note: After sight-in, you can re-align the
zero marks on the turret knobs with the reference dots if you wish (see
Indexing Adjustment Dials with Zero Reset on page 15). Replace outer
covers when done.
The Vortex Viper HS LR riflescope incorporates precision finger
adjustable elevation and windage dials with audible clicks.
1. Turn the adjustment knob in the
appropriate direction: Up/Down or
Left/Right as indicated by the arrows.
2. Following the directional arrows, turn
the knobs in the direction you wish the
bullet’s point-of-impact to go to.
To make adjustments:
The Viper HS LR riflescopes use finger adjustable elevation and windage
turrets with scales measured in minutes of angle (MOA). MOAs are a unit
of arc measurement which equals 1.05 inch for each 100 yards. Examples:
2.1 inches @ 200 yards, 3.15 inches @ 300 yards, etc.
The tactical-style elevation turret is designed to provide a high travel range
along with rapid adjustment ability. Each click will provide
½ MOA
of
reticle movement (approximately ½-inch @ 100 yards).
The windage turret uses a standard design with an external cap. Each click
will provide
¼ MOA
of reticle movement (approximately ¼-inch @ 100
yards).
