The Remington Viper is a high-speed .22 LR load built for hunters who need deep penetration and absolute reliability. Standard rimfire rounds often struggle with two things: hollow points that break apart too soon and round-nose bullets that jam in semi-auto magazines. The Viper fixes both. Its unique "truncated cone" shape is designed to feed perfectly every time, while the solid construction ensures the bullet stays together and drives deep into the target.
The secret to the Viper’s success is its "punch." Instead of relying on the bullet to expand and slow down, the Truncated Cone Solid (TCSB) uses its flat nose and 1,410 FPS velocity to transfer energy through direct impact. This design keeps the bullet moving straight and deep without deflecting or fragmenting. Because it's moving so much faster than a standard round, it also shoots much flatter, making it easier to hit small targets at distances where other .22s start to drop off.
By pushing a 36-grain solid bullet at 1,410 FPS, the Viper offers a rare combination of smooth semi-auto cycling and impressive long-range reach. The copper plating keeps your barrel clean, while the solid construction ensures deep, reliable penetration on small game and varmints. Whether you are clearing pests or hunting for the table, the Viper gives you the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance you need to make every shot count at extended rimfire ranges.
