Overview
The Viper PST Gen II brings you all the features of elite, top-tier tactical optics, with exceptional performance at a fraction of the cost. The 5x optical system delivers bright and crisp images across the zoom range with an impressive field of view for quicker target acquisition. Exposed turrets provide ample range of adjustment for dialing long-range shots, are available in MOA or MRAD and always match the reticle. After a day of dialing at extended ranges, the integrated, mechanical, RZR zero stop will bring you back to your exact zero every time with positive engagement.

XR™ Fully Multi-Coated
Proprietary coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
Second Focal Plane Reticle
Scale of reticle maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification.
Glass-Etched Reticle
Allows for intricate reticle design. Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
Illuminated Reticle
Provides precise aiming under low-light conditions
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

Single-Piece Tube
Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
Waterproof
O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating for reliable performance in all environments.
Fogproof
Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.

Tactical-Style Turrets
Exposed turrets provide fast, accurate and easily read elevation and windage adjustments.
INTERNAL MECHANISM DESIGN FEATURES
RZR™ Zero Stop
Rapid Zero Return (RZR) feature stops the turret from dialing below sight in range using rugged steel components. Internal mechanisms stay free of sand, dirt, dust, moisture and other foreign materials - even when setting the zero-stop position.

Great budget scope
I bought this to replace another optic on my precision rifle. I'm super impressed by the features and quality at this price point.
With my old optic, I was getting eye fatigue even after just short range sessions. After switching to the PST Gen2, that doesn't happen anymore. The glass/image is really clear, controls are very easy to adjust and the reticle is about as perfect as I could ask for.
If I ever end up upgrading to a Razor, this will find itself on one of my AR's.

Doesn't get better!
Been super happy with all my vortex products, when I got this scope I was so thrilled and it just completed my AR build. Glass is clear and crisp, scope feels very durable and handles being in the truck on rough roads and stays true to zero. Highly recommend this scope And all vortex products.

A beast of an optic at an acceptable price
I bought the 3-15x in the MOA reticle last year and put it on my long range .308, so I use it for target shooting out to about 800 meters maximum. I'm a proponent of having a large field of view (from combat experience), so not going up to the 20s helps me out quite a bit with quick target acquirement and awareness. The PST Gen II is definitely a bit heavy, but you know right away that the thing is a beast - I banged it about quite a bit on a trip backpacking with my rifle through the Arizona desert and it never missed a beat. The turrets are honking big thick sons of a guns, so you get great finger purchase on them as you're dialing in your dope. The zero stop function is fairly easy to use and doesn't require shims or anything crazy. Since I'm often changing altitudes on these kinds of trips, I need to easily change the zero, and the Gen II turrets help with that a ton. Optical clarity is unmatched in this price range, chromatic abberation is minimal to zilch, you name it.
It's a great optic if you can afford it. Looks cool too.
