Rifle Scopes Midas Tac 5-25X50 or Gen 1 Viper PST 6-24X50

[68sting]

Ive read a lot of good things about the Midas Tac for the $500ish price range but I see eurooptic has the Gen 1 Viper PST for $500 also. I just shoot at a range FYI. What’s the better deal?

Midas tac.

I've had the gen 1 PST a while back and its nothing special. Things like the zero stop, while it works and is functional, are a old school design. Glass is not particularly great either. The Midas tac overall is much better. But...

If you can wait and save some more getting a Steiner P4xi 4-16 from cameraland ny is a huge step up and your getting a really great scope for the money as opposed to something that is adequate but not great.

Thanks that is what I was looking for. All scope threads come with this disclaimer no matter the budget. Lol

The Midas TAC 4-16 and the 6-24 are 30mm tube. The 5-25 is 34mm tube.

All of them are a "BIG" step up from the G1 PST.

Hey, at least I didn't say just wait till you can buy a nightforce, or a razor gen2.

I got a midas tac 30mm. Been a great optic. Tracks better than anything I have owned. Glass is about like a viper pst 2.

 

[Jarrodb1975]

I would say the 34mm be even better.

I've got those Midas Tac ready to rock, with a level and lever installed at no cost. You'll find it to be a substantial step up from a Gen 1 Viper!

I’m glad you pointed it out as I have an AR10 the Steiner would be great on. One project at a time never seems to work for me.lol
