The Venom comes with two MOA options, 3 and 6, and is a compact, no-magnification sight with a mini red dot that is parallax free.Both Vortex Venom and Vortex Viper are super lightweight, compact micro red dots which can be fitted upon almost any handguns and long guns with appropriate rails. Both models come with the same accessories, and they have a Picatinny mount, and both have Vortex warranties on the optics. However, the difference in size makes the Viper a harder model to change batteries. The Viper is slightly smaller and sleeker in size than the Venom.
They are both rugged, durable, shockproof and waterproof. Both of the sights are similar in size, quality, and levels of performance. I used both handguns and rifles and reached the following conclusions. When comparing between the two, taking both models and placing them on the same weapon and firing off shots is the only way to compare performance in real time. 3 MOA vs 6 MOAĪs such, the differences are in profile and overall performance. The Red dot window is Both models come from the house of Vortex, which means that they are produced in the same fabrication plant using the same materials. The daylight bright red dot is easy to see and paints targets irrespective of environmental lighting conditions or background. The Viper does require you remove it to reach the battery, but then this is a small con when comparing to the sleeker and smaller design of the unit. When this model is used with the Picatinny mount, it weighs 2. You get 1 MOA windage and elevation adjustmentswhich makes it extremely versatile over many distances and it comes with a 1. On the Venom, the power and dot intensity controls are positioned on the left side of the unit. The Venom housing is made from machined aluminum and is a durable model that comes with high quality, a multi-coated lens that delivers clean vision with a wide field of view. The finer 3 MOA dot model provides extra accuracy and is a perfect rifle scope, which is good for range shooting and fast target acquisition. The MOA number is the level or size of accuracy that the dot provides over a distance. A word about abbreviations for the Perplexed: an MOA is Minute of Angle it is a mathematical concept that most firearm scopes use. In this review, I present both sight details, features, and specifications and then compare both models using them on the same weapon and testing handling and performance. Both these models are mini Red Dot sights for handguns and rifle applications. Among the vast range of excellent performance, models are the Vortex Venom and the Vortex Viper. I prefer the smaller dot size.The house of Vortex is a major force in the gun optics market and produces a number of magnificent models that include riflescopes, red dots, rangefinders, binoculars, spotting scopes, tripods and monocular as well as an assortment of gear and accessories. I have a slight astigmatism and keep the brightness setting down as low as possible to keep the starburst from being distracting. For a turkey gun, I would say you'll pick up the 6 moa faster, but as mentioned a 3 moa would cover up less of the head and neck. Originally Posted by wizzi Definitely go look through both at the store first, maybe at a turkey decoy across the store.

I tend to prefer smaller dots, but that has partly to do with the fact I have astigmatism As to the "circle dot" types, I really like my EoTech with that reticle. Ok guys im lookin at buying a red dot scope vortex venom or sparc 2 for my shotgun.
