Re: Vortex Viper PST Clarity??

Its not the fact that a few 4-16's may have clarity issues. Not the case at all.
Any scope maunfacturer could have a "clarity" issue" for that matter.
No, whats offensive is thats is brought out in open forum and compared with s Nightforce scope. Why even mention Nightforce at all?
You dont see Vortex Viper owners doing threads about the superb clarity of their 6-24x50 scopes and them asking how in God's name could and why or how any one human being be foolish enough to buy a Nightcorce scooe for DOUBLE the money and certainly not double the clarity?
Or how could Nightforce even be considered at all when a Razor could be bought? Its not an actual defect issue at hand its about being tactful.
and as I stated before this is not the 1st thread Ive saw where involving an issue with Vortex and Nightforce being shown as a superior product.
Seriously, if there was a simple problem with a 4-16 clarity why not just pm anotger member or call Vortex? Why do an open forum thread compared to a Noghtforce scope? </div></div>
As I said, some folks get emotionally invested in stuff.
And yes, there HAVE been threads where PST owners have insisted they are as good as nightforce, that they are 1500 dollar scopes for 800, yada, yada, yada.
It's a fucking scope.
They make a nice scope with alot of features.
Yes, there ARE other options under 1000 dollars.
Weaver 3-15x FFP mil/mil illuminated reticle. No, it doesn't have a zero stop, but it has everything else for 150 less than the vortex.
Bushnell 3-12 tactical. Just about the same price point as the Vortex.
I don't have a problem with Vortex, they are an excellent company, with excellent customer service that listens to their customers wants and desires and attempts to meet those at fair price point.
I wish more companies would work on the same business model.
But, it is a fucking scope. Why the hell would someone become so attached to a tube and glass.
I use an IOR 3-18. Is it the perfect scope? No. Does everything I ask of it and does it well, though with idiosyncrasies. Does that mean I get my panties bunched up when someone compares it to a Premier or S&B and says it is not their equal? No. It is what it is.
