Rifle Scopes Glass Quality> IOR vs Vortex Viper

[libertyman777]

Question.

I'm looking at a couple of scopes. One is the Vortex Viper 2.5-10x44. The other is the tried and true IOR 2.5-10x42.

I haven't look through a PST or HST but I have owned the older Vipers and according the their website, they are using the same glass coatings, etc. While I love the Vortex scopes I've owned, based on what I remember, I don't think that the quality of the Viper is up to par with the IOR, even though it's a much older design.

I guess the caveat is that the used Vipers are going for half the price of the used IORs. While the IOR, IMO, has the better glass and reticle, I'm not sure it's twice as good.


Am I remembering correctly? Any input?

Can't comment on Viper but my IOR is high quality and the glass is awesome. The price is a bit scary but buy right, buy once.

The glass in the IOR is going to be better and you pay for it. The Glass in the PST is very nice also. I have used both scopes. I will say for the PRICE the PST are awesome.

I'm told the IOR 2.5-10x will be in country soon. We have the PST 2.5-10x in stock.
