Purchasing a Savage lrp in .260 Remington for paper punching (under 200 yds for now) and was looking at a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP Riflescope. Wanted the higher magnification because i cant see well! Budgeting $1,000.00 for a scope purchase, it would be great to purchase a night force or S. B. but until the lotto comes through thats on hold. Own two other Vortex scopes, One on a Remmington 700 308 caliber and one on a 204 caliber . So far been happy with them both, had them about a year. After reading several of the recent posts here about repeated failures of there scopes i am beginning to have second thoughts. I am not real gentle on equipment and went with vortex orginally because of the warranty. Any suggestions?
