I very recently had the opportunity to compare the Vortex Viper HDa 65mm zoom scope with the Pentax PF 65 EDII zoom scope. Both were angled scopes. At high zoom there was no comparison. The Viper blew the doors off of the Pentax. The sharpness was much more apparent on the Viper and the light at maximum zoom was considerably brighter with the Viper. I was very impressed at how much sharper the Viper was when looking at details at 400 yards distance. Icing on the cake is the Viper is $200 less than the Pentax.
