well let me start with prices the counter sniper scope http://www.countersniperoptics.com/c...d=6058654.7504
the $400 one. This scope was good and I loved the mildot reticle. It came out of the box with all the bells and whistles. The scope was very clear and had a good eye relief. But I had some problems getting it to zero. The scope had a very mushy up and down elevation knob. The other counter sniper scope I had and the left/right adjustment knob had a very crisp 1/4 moa adjustments. The company took the scope back no questions asked. I put about 300 rounds through the scopes if not more.
The next scope I got was a vortex viper. The scope is a 6.5x20 with a 50mm bell. Here is a link to the scope http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/...il-dot-reticle . The scope is very very clear. This scope is a lot more clear than the countersniper and all of the leupold. The scope adjusts very easily and dials in like a telephone operator. If you are in a shooting vice and your rifle can handle the accuracy it has no problems going on exactly 1/4 moa at 100 yards and when you calculate your clicks it takes care of you. The scope has all the focus adjuster based on yardage and it is very clear. I have around 40 shots through the scope but will update as it gets to more

Re: counter sniper 4x16 review and Vortex
You do realize that the "counter sniper" scope is an airsoft optic don't you?
A good rule of thumb is to not take any company serious that uses the term "sniper" in their product name. IMO, you wasted $400 on that CS scope.
Now, in regards to the Vortex Viper, you have a winner. I just sold mine, but it is a very good scope for the money. I do not believe you will find a better optic in that price range. If you ever have an issue with your Vortex, just get in touch with them and they will take care of you.

Re: counter sniper 4x16 review and Vortex
How is the repeatability of the vortex? I'd be interested to see how it does on a round robin.
If you're not familiar with it, you adjust the scope to hit a corner of your target when you're aiming in the middle. Fire 1 shot into the bottom left corner, adjust elevation up 5 mins, fire, adjust windage right 5 mins, fire, adjust elevation down 5 mins, adjust windage left 5 mins. You wind up with 2 holes in the bottom left, and 1 hole in the other 3 corners. Repeat 4 more times so you have 10 holes bottom left, and 5 in each of the other corners. Each of the 4 groups should be tight like a normal group would be.

Re: counter sniper 4x16 review and Vortex
The SWFA renamed it the SS versus Super Sniper. When it was called the Super Sniper it was owned by Tasco. I've owned 3 SS...they are ok for the price point. The new SS in FFP is suppose to be a great scope, but at a 3x9 power it doesn't appeal to many.

Re: counter sniper 4x16 review and Vortex
I highly doubt that anyone that owns a LAPUA rifle is going to be using a counter sniper optic. I would also take it a step further and say that if you owned a Lapua that you would know how to spell Lapua.
If you are happy with your crappy optic...that's all that matters. I don't need to own one to know that it will not hold up to hard use.
