    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    I just want to say thanks for the post. I was nodding frantically with approval while reading the whole thing.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    hmmm. Makes me wonder about mine. I was not blown out of the water by the clarity/brightness of either the first scope or this replacement. I've never looked through multi-$K glass so I dont know where to compare mine.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Would I rather have not dealt with the issue to begin with? Yes. Was I a bit peeved that it happened twice? You bet. Am I "happy" with the outcome. Yes sir. Would I spend $1k on a PST again had I known then what I do now? Debatable. I acknowledge that ANYTHING can fail no matter how...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    How do I respond with such great "veracity"? If I say I'm happy with the outcome I get railed by vortex haters because "Now that they gave you a new one and a reach around you're happy again. Until you get off the bench you'll probably remain tickled pink by their warranty because that's all...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Holy schmidt. If someone isn't trashing people for talking about a bad experience then someone else is there to talk crap about the company themselves. So much ego... Anyway. The replacement "turd" is re zeroed and shooting just fine so far. I put ~50rnds through it and as you would expect...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Just got home to find my scope. They did in fact give me a new scope altogether. I actually thought they sent me the wrong one whgen I saw how much the box has changed vs. when I bought mine. Video is uploading, I'll link it when its up. BTW. I'm fairly sure this on has the "metal mag ring" you...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    That's exactly why I wasn't too thrilled. The scope has NEVER been abused. Never dropped, never bumped, and never splashed, hell, even shot less than I would have liked for this past year. When I really get to thinking about it, if it is indeed an issue of grease becoming dislodged and...

    I got the scope sent out this morning. They are one state over in Wisconsin so we shall see how long it takes them!

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Yes, but that is mainly due to the bolt returning and jarring the scope. This has always been on a somewhat heavy .308 with a muzzle brake. I address everything else in the OP

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    I haven't seen any zero holding issues. Then again, like I said I have not been able to shoot it a lot since it was sent in last time. I havent been cranking on the turrets so that hasnt come into the equation either. I can tell you that if that does happen I will be taking my business elsewhere...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Well the scope was bought back in July of 2012. Didn't have any issues until July 2013. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much shooting this past year, but even still this just popped up from normal use. I can say, that both times this happened it was when it was hot and muggy 90*+ with...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    I must say, I had very high hopes for this scope as many here and in other places sung their praises for years. It does seem that that ship has somewhat sailed as, while their CS is great, their products (bar spending $1500+) just dont seem to hold up. Im seeing issues from them becoming more...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 6-24 Failure - AGAIN!

    Well, it looks like I will be sending in my PST again. For the second time within a year there is moisture / grease stuck on the inside glass. Last time this happened they told me it was moisture, but when I brought it to their attention this time they are claiming that the internal grease must...

    Rifle Scopes Has Anyone Else Seen This on Burris XTR's?

    Wow, thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I am not in possession of the setup anymore And knowing the owner, I dont think he would care to do anything about it. The rings do work fine for their intended purpose on his 700$ + PCP Airgun, but they were modified to make them work. I recommended the...
