Extremely disappointing! I have SEVERAL Vortex items (rifle scopes, spotting scopes, rangefinders, binoculars). This is the poorest of all! I didn't expect it to be as good as my Razor or Viper models, but did expect higher quality from any Vortex optic. I bought this and the Strike Eagle 5-25x56 at the same time. The Strike Eagle is fantastic! The Venom almost needs vice grips to turn the magnification ring. The handle, that comes with it, to put on the magnification ring slips because the dial is so stiff. The turrets feel gritty and not very reassuring for positive adjustments. I didn't even bother actually firing the rifle. I pulled it and put it back in the box. I plan to buy another Strike Eagle to replace this thing.
