    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Wear

    Well after about 200 rounds or so of my Savage 110 in .338 Lapua the scope is showing some signs of wear. The gun has always had a brake on it and I changed out the factory brake to a 4 ported after market brake that tames the .338 to a mere .308 non-braked recoil gun. I guess we will see how...
