Viper Vortex spotter deal

[gobears870]

The Bass Pro mailer for their fall hunting sale has this up for $349. There’s no link to it on the BPS site, but these details for the same model number are on the Vortex site. It doesn’t look like the standard Viper HD color/finish. Does anyone know what the deal is with these “limited distribution” models? It looks like a great deal, but most things too good to be true…

While it's a good price, I'd pass - I had a Viper HD 15-45x spotter a number of years back and it wasn't impressive at all. Very grainy image.

Vortex gets a lot of hate here, but the Gen 1 Razor is actually a pretty decent spotting scope that can be found for around $800 or less. I had a 16-48x for a couple seasons and really liked it. Only sold it when I moved to Cleveland for my residency as it wasn't going to get used at all.

Limited distribution runs are commissioned by a retailer or distributor for their exclusive sale. Vortex has more than a few models in all the lines that fall into that category.
