Hi from the newbie.
While shopping for a scope for my new TacSol X-Ring (10/22) I stumbled across a new Vortex Viper Gen2 PST 3-15 44mm for less than $600! It has a discontinued millrad reticle. I new it was a little long/heavy/magnification than most put on a .22lr but I wasn't finding many decent quality AO scopes so I bought it. Since it is FFP I don't have to use full power, right? I'll be doing mostly plinking and target with some small varmint in 20-150 yd range. Did I make a mistake? |

Correct. And no, if you are happy with it who cares what anyone else thinks. But then I have a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15 on my CZ 455 PVT. I have it mainly because I dial for correction. BTW Welcome to the OT! |

No mistake... nice scope, good FOV, perhaps a bit heavier than some like but I would be willing to take the weight for the features. And what's wrong with being able to see small varmints better at 100-150 yards shooting with a .22???
I had a 6-18 on my Ruger 10/22 for years... only took it off because it was a cheaper model scope and the glass began to dim. Still OK in bright light, but not very good in low light. You have a fine scope for all your stated requirements.

If you like it that's good. It's your gun! You don't get grades like school.
