High End Glass Experience

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

Can't beat it

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.

Stunning scope

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.

Needs a locking turret!

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!

Nice optic. 1 flaw.

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

PST II - Appleseed Known Distance 200Y

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.

Best in Class

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.

The Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 Riflescope is a paradigm of precision engineering, offering elite tactical optics features that rival the most prestigious brands at a more accessible price point. This riflescope boasts a versatile 5x optical system that provides bright, sharp, and high-contrast images throughout the entire zoom range, enhancing your field of view for rapid target acquisition and engagement.

With its first focal plane EBR-7C MRAD reticle, the scale remains consistent across all magnifications, allowing for accurate holdover and ranging, critical for long-distance precision shooting. The reticle is glass-etched, ensuring durability and reliability, and is illuminated to maintain visibility in low-light conditions.

The robust 30mm tube is crafted from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring alignment for superior accuracy, visual performance, and structural integrity. This construction also guarantees waterproofness and fogproof performance, with O-ring seals and argon gas purging to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

The tactical-style turrets on the Viper PST Gen II are exposed for swift, precise adjustments for elevation and windage, complemented by the integrated RZR zero stop mechanism. This feature allows for an immediate return to your exact zero, regardless of how many adjustments you've made throughout the day.

Optical features such as XD lens elements and XR fully multi-coated lenses elevate image clarity and color fidelity, while the ArmorTek coating on the exterior lenses resists scratches and damage. The riflescope's hard-anodized finish provides a durable, low-glare surface that aids in concealment.

Internally, the riflescope is equipped with the Precision-Force Spring System and the Precision-Glide Erector System, ensuring smooth magnification changes and consistent reticle alignment. The Radius Bar, a fiber optic turret rotation indicator, offers a tactile and visible method for tracking adjustments.

The Viper PST Gen II is designed for convenience as well, featuring a fast-focus eyepiece for quick reticle focusing and a matching turret and reticle system (available in MRAD or MOA) that enables shooters to make fast, accurate shots at extended ranges. The patented fiber optic Radius Bar visually assists in monitoring turret rotations, adding to the riflescope's user-friendly operation.

In summary, the Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 Riflescope is a top-tier tactical instrument that delivers unparalleled performance, whether for competitive shooting, hunting, or tactical operations. Its comprehensive set of features ensures reliability, precision, and ease of use in any condition.
