I ended up getting the viper HD 5-25 mil version last fall and so far I love it overall. Glass is great. Better than PST gen2 imo (and that glass was perfectly acceptable to me)
I haven't hunted it yet but I think I will enjoy it.
My only gripe for crossover hunting scope is the size, it's pretty long (similar form factor to pst gen2). But I knew that going in. As I said I would have preferred the 3-15 if only they made it in FFP, and the smaller size would have been appreciated. Nothing has changed in that regard. I think they missed a market opportunity there. Oh well. I am still thrilled with this 5-25.
If it holds up to hunting without losing zero it will be a huge winner with very little competition at the moment. Everything else with comparable glass is either significantly heavier or significantly more money.
I'd still like to try a mk4hd but the price difference (at the time I bought the Viper HD anyway) was too great for me to bite.
