This Vortex Viper PST II scope has been reviewed as the best pieces of glass in its price point and I can certainly see why now that I finally own one. Peon a couple of the less-expensive Vortex scopes and they have always served me well. Viper PST II is definitely several steps above in clarity and light gathering capacity. Then there is the illuminated reticle , wow that picture is just fantastic and really helps when your trying to shooting in dense cover early or late in the day. Really make the reticle pop! I would highly recommend this scope to anybody.
After having my 4th scope failure on one rifle, I decided to spend a few extra dollars for a decent scope... What I got is an incredible scope with the best glass I have ever looked through... and there have been a few... Easy to use and I had it zeroed at 300 yards in 9 rounds!!? That's the last three shots fired.
I have owned a number of "high end" Optics over the years. This Vortex PST GenII hangs in there with those well at a very attractive price point. Loaded with features, built stout & great glass. Buy with confidence.
