I have been looking for the actual difference between these to models. All I can find is lit reticles, offered in mil/mil and FFP. is there something different about the glass. I was reading one topic on here and someone said the pst was a viper with razor HD glass? is that true and what exactly does the PST stand for. I looked on vortex's web site and didnt see any litereature avaulable. maybe I missed it.
thanks for the minute.

PSTs are a new series and not out yet.They will be a step up from the regular Vipers in all aspects.Not only with matching reticles and adjustments but FFP and illuminated.They will also have uncovered turrets.

This is absolutely corret. They are a step up and one great offering at the price. I have a Viper, love it, and at 450.00, I feel a great value for the quality you get in return for your money, but the PST is going to be just plain awsome. Personally, you can't go wrong either way (Budget go Viper. Got a little extra cash on hand, get in line for a PST).
 
Re: vortex viper vs viper pst

I am looking to buy a scope now (like today), I just sold my Elite 3200 and was ready to buy a Sightron SIII 6-24x50 for $725 and then I saw the Viper 6.5-20x50 for $460. Now I don't know what to do. I know if I wait until the PST comes out, used Viper scopes are going to be pouring out of the classifieds.

Its normal for things to be advertised well in advance of their existence.Sam the owner of Vortex has responded to numerous threads about a June delivery date.
