I haven't seen a viper and my loopy experience was two vx 3 4-20 x 40 and sold them both. I found the eye relief too sensitive. Yes I know good shooting requires repeatability and your cheek weld should be in the same spot etc but in my experience there was no margin for any variation with the loopys at all

Maybe they were 6-20?
