@all_ontario_hunter all those scopes are double if not more than the vortex in Australia 🥲

Loving the new shop look! Hopefully you can get everything they way you want it in the next few weeks. Great unboxing and can’t wait to see the follow up video on this. Been looking for a scope in this price range.

Thanks for the review! I've been wondering about this scope.

This is a hell of a review/video! I love my second focal plain strike eagle variable optic! I was in South Africa about 20 years ago. Johannesburg, Durban and Palabora. I hope everything works out for you guys.

love the shop look for sure? Thank you for the reaction on the Venom

SE vs Venom Same -5x25x56 -34mm tube -Parallax -Reticle (EBR-7C) - Items included in box -Glass quality? -Vortex quality and customer support Different (whats changed on venom) -5 oz heavier -25 Moa/6 Mil less elevation travel -7 moa/ 2 mil more windage travel -No locking turrets -No illuminated turrets - 2ft more of fov @100 -1.78 cm/ .7 in longer -$100 USD cheaper

Love the video. Look forward to seeing the follow up after you have used it for a while. Also looking forward to more content on that Warbird. Would really love a video where you take us through the new cartridges you're shooting, each ones pro's and cons and where each of those fits into your collection in terms of how you use them, both hunting and sports shooting. Congratulations once again on the new home.

Good idea for the video on cartridges bud

Standard picatinny rail, you can use Vortex 1 inch tall rings. That is what I did. I have three Venoms. On my Mossberg Patriot .308 Win and MVP Long Range 308, I use the Mossberg full rail and the 1 inch rings and the Venom scopes. I have the third one on my Windham Weaponry R16SFST-308 using the Vortex Sport AR mount. That also takes care of clearance because that is an AR-10 type of rifle. And I just recently put the Patriot in an MDT LSS Gen 2 chassis and SCS stock with the folding adapter.

Had a DB Tactical now a Venom. There's just something about 34mm tubes that just seems right. Side note - when I opened the Venom I found that the supplied throw lever was too large. I emailed Vortex and they shipped out the right one lightning fast. Great service.

Nice review! Can you do a comparison with the Venom and the strike eagle? I know there's pros and cons going with the Venom and the Strike eagle!

After owning a diamond back tactical which mainly gets used at night I would say next time I buy a FFP I’ll get a illuminated ret the upgrade for that will be a PST gen 2 15x mag scope

The investment into quality gear is always worth the money if the investment fits your intended purposes. Great review! You've help me to gain an appreciation for vortex.

Has your recommendation changed from the SE to the venom or should we still buy the SE

Haha Maven Optics ad right before the Impact Shooting epic B-Roll intro about the Vortex Venom! Ad placement trolling by competitors done right.

Piet, like the shop look.

I put a venom on my 6x47 lapua and its a great fit on there for sure. I didnt have the budget for a Razor like I would have liked to put on it and the Venom was a solid choice in the end.

Always great

Nice video piet I also asked on previous videos if u could do reviews on other scopes such as ziess n lieca.Would appreciate it

Hi, I watched your video on using the strelok pro app to true muzzle velocity and I have done the same thing. However I was wondering about how to true the bc as well. Do you shoot further out than what you true the velocity at, and then true the bc so that the drop lines up at that further distance. If so at what distance would you recommend I true the bc. I also know you can true the bc at multiple distances however I don't have a chronograph. So idk if I can even do that or if needing to true bc at different distances is even necessary as I don't plan on ever shooting futher than 1000 yards. I have currently trued my velocity out of my 7mm08 by shooting at 509 yards (this is the furthest I have ever shot out to so far), do you think it would be better if I trued the velocity at a further distance? Thanks for all your videos, they are really beneficial. I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

I have the Venom on top of a 7mm PRC. Glass is great, I like the reticle. Took it out to 625 yds the other day. Shot good, over all very happy with it. I was wondering if the Oryx chassis is a good set up for western(US) hunting? I am a bit hesitant, only because it seems to be on the heavy side. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Very imformative. Thanks

Great video like always 👍🏻, is there a way to break down what scopes get returned and for what? Just wondering to help consider scope buying decisions. Not picking on Vortex, I wish info was available for all manufacturers.

It would be awesome to see that. Prob is the data is not clean. You would be surprised how many guys brake their optics when mounting them and then claiming warranty 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thank you very much for your effort Can the Vortex Phenom 5_25 x 56 withstand the energy and recoil of a .50 caliber weapon?

I’m doing a new budget build/ rifle for my wife to shoot and this and the diamondback are becoming real contenders

I do have a venom mounted to my 700 SA in .308. I also have an SE mounted to a Ruger American in 6.5CM so far I really like the Venom. Besides having less elevation adjustment the only downfall is slightly smaller FOV than the SE.

Can you do a video on barrel lengths? Love the videos btw.

I recently picked up a ruger precision .22 and want to get into long range .22lr shooting...not to mention it makes it cheaper then my .50...this sounds like a good optic for that.

I have the same. Word of advice: due to the 30MOA base and handrail over the barrel I had to go for Ultra High Warne rings. High would have worked but then the sunshade would not fit

Are venom scopes or the whole Vortex scopes line protected from Air Rifle recoil ?

25 mil is the deal breaker for me. Cheaper scopes with the same glass and build quality but 30 mils + of reliable travel. Great video though!

My favorite budget FFP at the moment

Bro! What’s going on in South Africa man. Hope you and your love ones are safe.

What height scope rings are you running?

I almost bought this scope for my new savage impulse because I needed sort of a crossover style optic for hunting and target shooting. Wound up going with a Burris signature hd because of the locking turrets and the glass was leaps and bounds better.

Just saw the news about SA hope you and your family are safe

You need to compare it to our scopes, like night force etc.

Hi Pete how can i get hold of you. I have questions that need answers if you are willing to assist. Wil be appreciated dearly

Did yourself vortex venom ran out of elevation adjustment???? I tap out at 21 moa

Strike eagle or Venom?

What, no mention of the Viper.. ?

Please match this scope up to a lynx lx3 2.5-15x50 tactical

Would you now recommend the venom scope over the Strike Eagle for beginners

I just picked up a strike eagle for my father and a venom for myself. Spent about 30 minutes comparing the 2 out to 600yrads and for my eyes the clarity of the venoms glass beats out the strike eagle I also noticed the reticle it self though the same style appears to be darker Lines in the venom.

Put me one of these on a Sig cross .308

Should be able to give a better discount than that

For an Aussie, Piet, this is pornography. Great vid, thanks mate. 🇦🇺

What the hell is that grip? It does not look ergonomic at all....

Vortex is junk, if it's not the Razor. I've tried three different models in the 700-900 price range, and they all had MAJOR issues. Warranty doesn't matter when you're in the bush, and your scope craps the bed. Leupold, Nightforce, Swarovski....anything but Vortex.
