VIPER PST GEN II 1-6X24MM SFP RIFLE SCOPE Reviews & Ratings

VIPER PST GEN II 1-6X24MM SFP RIFLE SCOPE

The Viper PST Gen II hands an unfair advantage to shooters who seek to keep the upper hand in every situation from close quarters to long-range shots. The illumination dial is located on the opposite side of the windage knob for easy access and streamlined performance. The reticle offers shooters highly functional, intuitive, and detailed hold points, yet remains uncluttered for optimal viewing and features 10 intensity levels with off positions between each setting.

Disappointed
To be fair I only looked at this scope in the store and compared it to the Strike Eagle. I wanted to like this scope in the worst way but it came with very cheap scope covers and no throw lever it also weighed significantly more than the strike eagle. Its hard to wrap my mind around why the scope that cost $300 less had better accessories. Long story short I bought the strike eagle.

Good enough for the casual shooter
This scope is ok for casual shooting but certainly not the best. I dont believe it up to Vortex standards when comparing to the Gen 1s models I have. Controls: - The adjustment knobs are a bit tight, feel squishy and the clicks are not positive feeling. I havent had a chance to check their accuracy yet. - My illumination control dial is a little loose but works fine. - The magnification adjustment ring is quite nice. It is tight enough not to move on you but still easy to twist. Tactical style shooters might find it difficult to make quick adjustments but it is fine for how I shoot. Glass/reticle: - The glass is bright and clear. It really isnt too bad but you can see some image distortion when panning back and forth over a target, particularly on the edges. - The reticle is basic but at least it isnt a BDC so it can be used on any caliber. The elevation and windage hash marks are easy to see and use. I only wish there were a couple hash marks above the center line for quick transitions to closer targets. Over all, this scope is just OK and I will probably upgrade if/when I find something better. However, this product is good enough, for the price, that I am in no rush to find something else. As far as the included Brownells mount; it seems decent enough. It is well machined, has a good finish and fits the scope. The logo is a bit obnoxious but can be covered with tape if it bothers you. Using a Caldwell brass catcher system might not work with this mount.

Not Sold On It
I got this and a strike eagle 1-6. Honestly wish I would have just saved the money and gotten the strike eagle. Im sure this is probably more durable but for what I needed, the strike eagle would have been fine. This seems to be heavier than the strike eagle as well. The strike eagle even came with way nicer lens covers.
