Vortex Optics Venom 3-15x44 FFP EBR-7C MOA Waterproof Riflescope - VEN-31501
Workhorse reliability and accuracy on targets no matter the range. The Venom 3-15x44 FFP delivers great glass quality, impressive magnification, and the versatile EBR-7C reticle for fast, precise corrections at distance, plus a wide field of view when rapidly engaging targets up close.
Features
- First Focal Plane Reticle: Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications.
- 34mm tube: Provides a large amount of travel.
- RevSto Zero System: Patented streamlined design offers a toolless zero stop for rock-solid return to zero after turret adjustments.
- Throw Lever: The included throw lever can be installed for quick and easy magnification adjustments.
- XD Optical System: Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images.
- Illuminated Reticle: Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions.
- Glass-Etched Reticle: Allows for intricate reticle design. Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
- Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide increased light transmission for greater clarity and low-light performance.
- ArmorTek: Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.
- Single-Piece Tube: Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
- Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
- Low Glare Matte Black Anodize: Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface.
- Nitrogen Gas Purged: Gas purged and O-ring sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance in all conditions.
- Waterproof: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
- Fogproof: itrogen gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
- Shockproof: Designed to withstand the highest levels of recoil and impact.
- Fast Focus Eyepiece: Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.

What our Experts Think
-
Lightweight long-range performance – At just ~21.7 oz, it’s one of the lightest scopes in its class, making it ideal for hunting rifles without sacrificing capability
-
True First Focal Plane precision – XLR-2 (MRAD) reticle scales with magnification, allowing accurate holdovers and ranging at any zoom level
-
Excellent magnification range (4.5–22x) – Covers close-to-mid hunting distances and extended long-range shots, offering strong versatility in the field
-
Premium HD optical system – APO lenses and XR™ Plus coatings deliver sharp resolution, true color, and outstanding low-light performance
-
Reliable turret system – Locking elevation turret with RevStop™ Zero System ensures repeatable adjustments and quick return to zero
-
Built for real-world conditions – Aircraft-grade aluminum body, waterproof, fogproof (argon purged), and shock-resistant construction
-
Hunter-focused usability – Capped windage turret and streamlined design reduce accidental adjustments in the field
-
Generous eye relief & comfort – ~4” eye relief and forgiving eyebox improve usability during extended shooting sessions
-
Trade-off: not a pure competition scope – Prioritizes lightweight hunting performance over extreme turret travel and heavy-duty tactical features

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean lenses with care: Use a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner to preserve fully multi-coated optics and maintain sharp, high-contrast images.
-
Keep turrets debris-free: Regularly wipe exposed tactical turrets to ensure smooth 0.1 MRAD adjustments and reliable tracking.
-
Check zero-stop (RevStop): Periodically verify zero return for consistent long-range accuracy and repeatability.
-
Inspect mount & 34mm tube fit: Ensure rings are properly torqued to prevent shift and maintain zero under recoil.
-
Maintain parallax & focus controls: Keep side parallax (15 yards–∞) and fast-focus eyepiece clean for precise targeting.
-
Use throw lever correctly: Keep it secure and clean for quick, smooth magnification changes from 5x–25x.
-
Protect lenses & coatings: Avoid touching glass—ArmorTek® coatings resist scratches but still require careful handling.
-
Dry after exposure: Even though waterproof, fogproof, and nitrogen-purged, wipe down after rain or dust.
-
Store with accessories: Use included lens covers and sunshade to protect the 56mm objective from damage.
-
Avoid impacts: Rugged construction is shock-resistant, but minimizing drops preserves internal precision.
