New Vortex Venom 5-25×56 FFP Riflescope
Say hello to the new Vortex Venom 5-25×56 FFP Riflescope. As you probably figured, it has a 5-25x magnification range and a 56mm objective lens. The scope uses a 34mm tube. There is a throw lever included so you can change the level of magnification fast and with ease. The maximum elevation and windage adjustments are 85 MOA. The MSRP is $699, so it’s a riflescope that should attract quite a few target shooters and varminters.
Vortex Scopes @ TFB:
The reticle and turrets are available in either MOA or MRAD.
Here’s the press release about the new Vortex Venom 5-25×56 FFP Riflescope:
BARNEVELD, Wis. – Vortex Optics is launching the all-new Venom® 5-25×56 FFP, the first in a new series of optics aimed at giving shooters all the tools they need to get into the game at an affordable price without compromising optical quality, or giving up the features they need to be competitive.
The Venom® 5-25×56 FFP is a perfect example of what shooters should expect from the Venom® lineup, providing new shooters an entry-level price with next-level tools. There are some obvious features that showoff the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP’s long-range pedigree. There’s the 34mm tube, maximizing turret travel. There’s the RevStop™ Zero System, a fast, easy, rock-solid return to zero. And, an included throw lever means rapid, smooth magnification adjustments are a snap.
But take a look inside the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP and you start to see how this riflescope makes it easier for new shooters to learn, all while keeping them in the game. The First Focal Plane reticle ensures subtensions are accurate throughout the mag range, which shooters will love because the EBR-7C reticle makes it easy to measure and range targets in scope. The 5x zoom range takes shooters farther, letting them punch out to 1,000 yards and beyond.
Just because a shooter is new to the game doesn’t mean they should be limited by inferior optics, and the Venom® 5-25×56 FFP is a perfect example of how the Venom® line makes it easier to not just get started, but to have the tools shooters need to be competitive right away.

I'm a Zeiss guy and they have the clearest and sharpest lenses in the business. They've been around for 500 years and pioneered most lens tech. I bought one of their newest rifle scopes 6 months ago and it has a slew of refinements that will make them the King of Scopes for hundreds to years to come.
I have had only good experience from Vortex Optics and consider myself a fan boy. I have a Crossfire II that is as solid as a rock. Two Diamondback Tacticals that never gave any problems. I now have one of the Venoms and ordered another one, still no problem. but I have heard of people, none that I know personally, have problems with the Strike Eagle and I have not had a strike eagle. In fact, I think of the Venom as a Diamondback Tactical with Rev Stop, which is what I was really wanting. I do not need locking turrets, just a returnable zero and I like the ERB type of reticle. So, probably, I am going to wait until I have a failure with the Venom before I say there is a problem or crap on Vortex. I have had problems with assorted brands of cars, too. I deal with each problem as it comes along.
