Explore the world of precision shooting with the 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen II Riflescope. This advanced optical tool, finished in a sleek matte black, boasts features typically found in top-tier tactical optics, delivering exceptional performance at a great value. The 5x optical system of this riflescope provides bright, crisp images across the entire zoom range, offering an impressive field of view for rapid target acquisition. The exposed turrets offer a wide range of adjustment, perfect for dialing in long-range shots. These turrets are available in MOA or MRAD, always matching the reticle for seamless operation. The Viper PST Gen II is equipped with an integrated, mechanical, RZR zero stop. This feature ensures you can return to your exact zero every time with positive engagement, even after a day of dialing at extended ranges. The optical features of this riflescope are truly remarkable. It includes XD Lens Elements, which are extra-low dispersion (XD) glass that increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. The XR Fully Multi-Coated proprietary coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. The first focal plane reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image, allowing for accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications. The reticle is glass-etched, allowing for intricate design and is protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability. The illuminated reticle ensures precise aiming under low-light conditions. Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the 30mm diameter tube provides maximized internal adjustment and strength. This single-piece tube ensures improved accuracy, optimum visual performance, strength, and waterproofness. The riflescope is also fog-proof, with argon gas purging to prevent internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures. The hard anodized finish is highly durable, providing a low-glare matte surface that helps camouflage the shooter's position. The ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt. The tactical-style turrets provide fast, accurate, and easily read elevation and windage adjustments. The internal mechanism design features a RZR Zero Stop and a Precision-Force Spring System for maximum repeatability and ease of adjustment. The Precision-Glide Erector System ensures the components in the zoom lens mechanism glide smoothly and cleanly through all magnification ranges. The Viper PST Gen II Riflescope also includes convenience features like a Radius Bar fiber optic turret rotation indicator and a fast focus eyepiece. The built-in accuracy features, including matching (MRAD or MOA) turrets and reticles, facilitate fast and accurate shooting at extended ranges. The patented fiber optic Radius Bar visually assists tracking turret rotations. In summary, the 5-25x50 Viper PST Gen II Riflescope is a high-quality, durable, reliable, advanced, and innovative tool for long-range shooting. Its first focal plane reticle and side parallax focus make it a standout choice for precision shooting.

I've owned this optic for about a year now and I couldn't be happier with the quality of it. I've been getting more into LRP and this was my first higher end scope. The FFP and Zero Stop features are game changers. Once I got it zeroed in, it's been an amazing piece of equipment to top my Tikka Tac A1 .308 with. Heading to Cameo in Grand Junction, Colorado this weekend for a shooting event and looking to get well beyond 1000 yds. The only thing as good if not better than the best products on the market are the pro staff at Vortex. Every single person I've ever dealt with there over the years has been so friendly and so professional with real world suggestions and pro tips. You don't get that kind of service and product quality everywhere. Vortex absolutely has a customer for life in this Marine. Thank you all for what you do! ~Sammy

High End Glass Experience

Put this on a howa hcr in .308 and I jist couldn't be happier. I'm no expert. But I got it sighted in pretty easy and the zero stop was better than advertised. I was shooting .75" groups before long. For 1k you can't get a better scope. Not to mention I've yet to find better customer service than vortex. I've lost caps on other scopes and they don't even ask questions. They just send you teplacement. Really great company.

Can't beat it

I have handled good glass and bad glass in my lifetime. For what you get and what you pay, this riflescope WAAAAAY over-delivers.

I bought mine 11 years ago. I think mine was a Gen 1. I have had it on my precision rifle since and I have won several shooting matches with it. It's clear, hold zero and is rugged. I am able to range with it easily and put lead on target as rapidly as my old eyes will allow. My first shot to 1200 yards was with this scope. I would easily put this up against a 'top end' scope brand. And I know from previous dealings that Vortex will take care of me. Lost a cap to my Strikefire on one of my carbines and they sent me 2 AND a hat, free of charge.

Even when I have had money left over after building a gun, I have always chosen Vortex even though I had money to spend on something else. I would have no problem trusting my life to them.

Stunning scope

Great scope. Tuff, reliable, accurate but the amount of coyotes that I've missed because the turrets move in the pickup and scabbard could have paid for the scope. Go with the strike eagle!

Needs a locking turret!

I have had this optic for a little know. I had an issue with the optic due to the "gunsmith" over torquing the rings. But customer service was awesome, as I was able to use this optic on an antelope hunt this year. An it was awesome. But it has 1 flaw that I noticed. It FOGS up! During antelope season this year I was hunting roughly 8500-9k elevation. Takes 9 years to get this tag, a the mornings where roughly ~25*F, no snow, no fog, just a little chillie. I had made the perfect stock an had 3 antelope come right to me. I had taken the weapon off my shoulder. As I looked down the optic it was fogged up. I did everything in my power to try to clear the lenses. But it would just fog right back up. So since I've been using anti fog spray an that seems to do the trick. But just be wary to take an extra step so it doesn't happen to you

Nice optic. 1 flaw.

This scope rocks. It helped me get Rifleman patch at Appleseed Known Distance 200Y.  The glass is great; zero stop was easy to set. We were dialing up and down for various distances all weekend. It was right on. I was super confident on this mil scope.  I would buy another If needed for another rifle.

PST II - Appleseed Known Distance 200Y

I have been happy with my PST Gen 1 scopes for years and thought my old eyes probably wouldn't notice an improvement with the Gen 2...... I was really wrong on this one! This scope is quite exceptional and though I've only taken it out to 4oo yds, I was able to easily see bullet splash and impact at 15x.  I am using a ADM AD-Recon-20moa-30mm-std mount which gives me the ideal eye relief and height. As configured, I have 19.5 mils of elevation available. This will take it out past Black Hills Mk262 77gr practical range and expect 700+ when I do my part. Setting the zero stop is easy and much improved over the shims on the Gen 1. (though the Gen 1 stop does have the advantage of dialing down a little if you need too).
Overall as with ever thing Vortex, I'm pleased way beyond expectations and will continue to purchase their products as needed and then some! BTW, the medium Vortex cover fits perfect with Defender caps in place so this baby will be protected during transport.

Best in Class

Our whole SWAT Sniper element is using these now and they have been superb and functioned flawless for 3 years now. Highly recommend!
