Re: Vortex Viper PST

Re: Vortex Viper PST
1-4PST is great awesome reticle
2.5-10 is okay glass quality mediocre (get a 3-9 super sniper instead same price but better)
4-16 no idea some say great some say poor glass quality
6-24 is great
I hear good things about the 3-15 weaver FFP too and the 750$ price is right.
Bushnell 3-12 FFP is great but I wouldn't pay more than 600 for one
Leupold Mark AR and Mark 2 scopes I don't really like them but others do. If you're a casual plinker and can't spend more than ~400 you could certainly do worse...
That's about all I can think of at the moment

Re: Vortex Viper PST
Agree. I have the 1-4X and love it. The reticle is well thought out.
The 2.5-10X glass isn't anything spectacular. at 10X, my SWFA SS10X HD is much better. The glass aside, I do like the features on the 2.5-10X. The illumination knob is in a handy spot, and the zero stops are nice. Seems pretty tough too. I have no complaints with mine.

4-16 FFP is the same great glass as it is on my 6-24 FFP.

I tend to shoot high-end scopes. I have been running 3 Vortex PST and have been really happy with them. To me for their price point they are hard to beat.

Re: Vortex Viper PST
I actually got hands on one for the first time the other day and was really impressed with the quality of the reticle and turning on the illumination really impressed me.

Re: Vortex Viper PST
I'll tell you what I think of the Vortex Viper PST. When I got my first one I sold my Nightforce. I will likely get flamed for this but I think the PST is better than the NF. It is at least better than the one I had anyway.

Re: Vortex Viper PST
My 4-16x50 FFP PST is excellent. I do notice a little bit of red CA, but its not bad enough to bother me. I am not seeing any of the clarity issues that some have alleged from their sample. Pretty good quality glass and excellent feature set for the price point.
Turret adjustments are extremely positive. The traction on the turret shoulders are excellent.
Illumination controls are firm to adjust and have "off" positions between each of the 10 illumination settings.

Re: Vortex Viper PST
Sent my pst back next day. Glass was not bright and had a green glare on the eye piece. Guy at store says it is light reflecting off the lens coating. I say keep it.
The reticle was very nice and I like the ffp. Just for reference a millet buck gold and bushnell 4200 were noticeably brighter and clearer. I really wanted to like it for the price, but I was not impressed at all with the glass. Never got to mount it to test tracking.
For the record, those who said not to sell my NF for 2 pst's were correct!!!
