What I have seen with Vortex scopes is some are better than others. I was comparing about 4 of the same model PST and I was split down the middle, 2 of them seemed to stand out from the other 2. Not sure why ,something to do with quality control, quality of lenses. I just got another PST 6-24x50 and the glass is excellent. I just can not like sightrons they feel really cheap to me, in terms of the contruction/ quality.I think Vortex brings alot to the table for the price. Youre kidding right, nothing cheap in terms of quality or construction in this unit.

Just curious, which model of Viper did you look through? It was the 4-16. I kind of wondered if that was the case. I've done a bunch of reading on the PST models, and for whatever reason the optical performance of the 4-16 has very mixed reviews. The 6-24 is supposed to be an entirely different, and optically superior, animal. Some guys got good samples of the 4-16, but many others were disappointed. It seems like a 50:50 split.

I have looked through alot of 4-16 PST's and 6-24 pst. The 6-24x50 PST seemed to be more consistent in glass quality.I can't find any other scope in the PST price line that has so many features.
1 and done
