I ordered three Vortes Vipers a while back, two in 2-7x32 and one 3-9x40, all with the BDC reticle. When the order showed up, the two 2-7x32's had the C3 reticle, so I had an opportunity to look through the scope for a night before sending it back. Looking back, I am thinking I should have kept one scope with the C3....might have to order another before they are all gone.

 For the type of hunting I do the C3 is one of the best (maybe THEE best after this season) I've come across.  I've used the #4,post and crosshair,and Leupolds Hvy Plex.  I like them all but the circle in the C3 and more specifically it's size sets it apart from the others.  I will admit that it may not turn out to be the best at absolute first and last light but we'll see.

I got one with the C3 also, Haven't used it yet, but I'm very happy with the reticle and the scope in general.  I really like the power adjustment ring.

Why would Vortex eliminate such a versatile scope?

  Seems in the past few yrs there have been quite a few low powered variables that have gone to the wayside.  Remember when there were a few 1' tubed 1.5-6x42's to choose from?
  Why?  Maybe it's the bigger is better mentality.  I just don't know.

I just ordered one.  I was going to wait a while and save up to get something more expensive but I just could not justify spending more to get the same quality of optics.

That and the limited availability is why I jumped now too!  Heard a lot of nice things about the Viper line.  Several have compare the glass quality to Bushy 4200 & 6500s.  If it if just close to that quality it's still a steal!

I've got the 2-7x32Vortex Viper. I notice a bit of tunnel effect with it.  I have the BDC reticle. I have had it on several rifes including .375 H&H and 300 WSM so it is tough, and it is now on a 243 and Im not sure it will stay there but its more the right scope for that gun. Given the choice over again today I would not  buy it I would buy a second fixed 6x42 Super Sniper as I like that much better even though it is a larger scope, but it may just be that I like to dial in correction rather than hold over.

I also noted a touch of tunnel vision in my 2-7 BDC.  It is not pronounced or objectionable.
