Vixen 2.5-10x50 Rifle Scope SF German 4 Reticle 5856

Vixen 2.5-10x50 Scope Review

The Vixen 2.5-10x50 rifle scope is a great all-around rifle scope that is a perfect fit on any big game rifle.  With a 2.5x to 10x magnificaiton range, it doesn't have the power to reach out and touch game at extremely long ranges, but it does retain a lot of the high end features of the more powerful Vixen scopes.

On the surface, the Vixen 2.5-10x50 features the standard 30mm one piece anodized aluminum body, full waterproofing and fogproof body as the other scopes in the Vixen lineup.  It could easily be mistaken for the 5-25x models.  Optically, the Vixen 2.5-10x50 performs very well, and exhibits a lot of the same performice that we've come to expect from Vixen.  Nice, clear picture that rivals the alpha manufacturers, excellent light transmission, good edge to edge clarity, and very little chromatic aberration.  It doesn't suffer from the rolling ball effect that some comparable rifle scope models are prone to.  

The 2.5-x10x50 is in a sweet spot where it maintains the quality of some of the more powerful scopes in the lineup, and doesn't have the unneccessary top-end magnification that some hunters won't need.  In addition, this model does not include high profile turrets, and instead utilizes the push/pull locking system found on the Vixen 1-4x24 and Vixen 1-6x24.  If you've read any of our reviews on those scopes, you'll know that we are very happy with this turret system.  It eliminates the need to carry an extra tool for turret adjustment, and the audible and tactile feedback provided by these turrets are right up there with the best we've seen.  Realistically, in our opinion, high profile tactical turrets aren't necessary on this rifle scope.  

The Vixen 2.5-10x50 is a scope that will be predominately utilized by hunters instead of tactical shooters, without a doubt.  This scope is a great option for big game hunters looking for a high end scope with a great warranty, without the frills.
