VORTEX RECON SCOPE

The Vortex Versatile Mount System

The patented Vortex VMS kit is designed to provide the user
with a highly flexible,
adaptive system to
stabilize the Vortex
Recon scope along
with any Picatinny rail
mounted accessories.
Due to its modular
design, the VMS
offers many options
in mounting rail
locations for these
accessories.

The key advantage to the VMS kit is its ability to fit virtually
any application and use with the Recon scope. There is no
right or wrong way to assemble the VMS—each use may be
slightly different, and the VMS is designed to be as versatile as
possible.
