new from Vortex featuring 30mm tube, 5x zoom range (6x in one model) and 1st focal (in some models), matching MRAD & MOA turrets, RZR Zero stop. I've shot the smaller 3-9x Viper for two years, good scope for the money. Anyone picking one of these up or better yet, tried one?
Here's the press release:
Vortex[SUP]®[/SUP] Optics Introduces the Gen II Viper[SUP]®[/SUP] PST[SUP]™[/SUP]
The most popular and feature-rich, tactical riflescope on the market just got better
The historically successful Vortex[SUP]®[/SUP] Viper[SUP]®[/SUP] PST[SUP]™[/SUP] series gets a complete revamp in 2017. Upgraded features from top-to-bottom take its incredible performance and rock-solid tactical features to new heights – and your shooting with it.
Built on 30mm anodized aircraft grade aluminum tubes, these scopes deliver the features serious tactical shooters demand, at a price that’s sure to please. Exposed laser-etched turrets provide easily read elevation and windage adjustment graduations. Borrowed from the proven Razor[SUP]®[/SUP] HD 5-2X50, the patented RZR Zero stop ensures accurate returns to sight in zero after dialing temporary elevation correction. And with the fiber optic turret rotation indicator, shooters can keep track of turns and their turret position with ease.
Illumination dial is cleanly integrated into the parallax/side focus adjustment knob for easy access and streamlined performance. Features 10 intensity levels of illumination with off positions between each setting. Glass-etched reticles offer shooters highly functional, intuitive and detailed hold points, yet remain uncluttered for optimal viewing. First focal plane reticles are available in select models. Matching MOA or MRAD turrets keep adjustments and hold points consistent. Fast-focus eyepiece adjusts easily and keeps the reticle tack-sharp.
Optically, these scopes deliver a 5X zoom range and impressive image quality. High-quality XD[SUP]™[/SUP] lens elements serve up incredible resolution and color fidelity, resulting in high definition images. XR[SUP]™ [/SUP]fully multi-coated lenses increase light transmission for optimum brightness. ArmorTek[SUP]®[/SUP] protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.
A standout model in the series, the ultra-sleek 1-6x24 features low-profile capped turrets for streamlined performance, a 6X zoom range and adjustable, daylight-bright illuminated center dot.
O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating the riflescope for reliable performance in all environments. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
Topping your door kicker or dialing precision long range shots, there’s a Gen II PST to fit your needs. And like all Vortex optics, they are covered with the lifetime, no-fault, transferable, VIP warranty.
