    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Just wanted to share what I've read in other places as far as the PST. It does seem there is an issue with PST 4-16x and clarity at its higher magnifications. It seems this may have been corrected with the HS-T. Others have noticed better clarity out of the HS-T when comparing the two. (maybe...

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Thanks to everyone who has thrown in their two cents. I'm leaning towards the HS-T at the moment, but am also trying to find a deal on a PST or SWFA SS 3-15 due to the overwhelming amount of people who recommend them. Do any retailers ever have great black Friday or cyber Monday deals on...

    Rifle Scopes Best place to buy Vortex Razor 5-20

    I'm in the market for a new scope as well. From what I can see, CSTactical.com seems to have competitive prices and Mike gives us a discount beyond that when you ask for the HIDE price.

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Can anyone confirm or deny that the clarity of the HS-T is better? I can't find a comparison between the two anywhere. Also are there any other scopes in the $400-600 range that I should be looking at?

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Yeah I was just curious about the FFP and didn't want to start a new thread for a small question. So alot of people are suggesting to find a used PST. The only difference between it and a HS-T that I see is the illuminated reticle/knobs and a 50vs44mm objective? Am I missing something?

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Something I'm a bit curious about with the PST. What happens if the battery dies? What about the FFP version?

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    First off, thanks for all of the input so far guys. So far based off of what has been said here I'm leaning towards the HS-T, but want to clarify a few things and see if anyone's opinion/recommendation changes. The prices listed on the pic are MSRP. The Viper can be bought for $459 and the Viper...

    How do I see the HIDE price for that scope in MOA?

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    What do you mean by speaking the same language? How would this differ from the mildot reticle on the base Viper? What's the deal with the HS-Ts MOA and MRAD? How do they differ between the two and from a mildot? Are as useful for ranging as the mildot?

    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex Viper to get

    Hi folks, I'm wanting to improve my marksmanship and get into long(ish) range target shooting. I recently bought a Savage 10 P-SR .308 (Heavy 18" barrel with Surefire Muzzle Brake), and am looking for a better scope. I've decided to upgrade to a Vortex Viper. Right now I'll be shooting 100-200...

    Suppressors Looking for something for the end of my barrel.

    Mods, forgive me if this is posted on the wrong section and feel free to move it. I just ordered a Savage 10 P-SR (18" threaded bbl). I'm looking for something to put on the end of the barrel, if for no other reason to avoid wasting those threads. I know that I don't want a sound suppressor...

    Factory 308 ammo help

    I have a Savage 10 P-SR (18" threaded bbl) on the way and am trying to see what factory ammo you guys have had luck with for precision shooting. I'll be shooting paper at mostly 200 yards or less, hoping one day in the future to get out to a 600 yards range. I'm wondering what factory ammo you...
