Vixen 3-12x40 Review

The Vixen 3-12x40 is another offering from Vixen, who is an up and coming name in quality Japanese optics.  Vixen has actually been around for quite a while, but they have only recently started importing more of their rifle scopes to the US market, and we think that they are definitely going to be a contender on nearly every product we've seen.

The Vixen 3-12x40 rifle scope is, at first glance, a very respectable scope with 4:1 magnification, weighing in at just 12.9 ounces.  As far as 3-12x scopes go, it looks pretty solid.  One piece aluminum body, aluminum turret caps, and exactly what you'd expect from a scope at this price.  Mechanically, the Vixen 3-12x40 is solid.  The magnification adjustment is smooth, yet tight, and the focusing ring moves freely with no grinding or extra resistance.  The turret caps remove to reveal low profile turrets, which provide some excellent audible and tactile feedback when adjusting.  The hash marks on the turrets are very precise and line up perfectly, even after a full rotation of the turrets. Adjustments on these turrets are 1/4" at 100 yards (1/4 MOA).

The optics on the Vixen 3-12x40 are nothing short of excellent.  There is virtually no rolling ball, minimal chromatic aberration even at the highest 12x setting, and sharpness continues directly to the edge of the sight picture.  This may be one of the sharpest images we've seen in a rifle scope under $500.  The color seen through the scope is also one of the most true to life color biases we've seen, it's that clear.  The reticle on this model is very fine and extremely clear.

This scope is manufactured in Japan (Made in Japan stamped on the bottom), and carries Vixen's Lifetime Transferrable Warranty, meaning your Vixen scope is protected.
