Reviews & Ratings for Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP) — 101 reviews — Page 1

Great scope as are all Vortex Optics products I own. Warranty is unbeatable in the industry and this scope exudes quality through and through. These are generally unavailable but Optics Planet once again delivered. The clarity, TMCQ reticle and glass are outstanding. Recommend this scope, Vortex and Optic’s Planet for all your future Optical Products needs.

Everything I was expecting after reading positive reviews...solid product that works well..

Great scope very clear great price to match. Very smooth transaction on zoom.

The scope is great if u get it with the 2 inch riser they recommend it is 0 at 100 yards without any adjustment

The glass is nice and clear, the turrets are nice and tactile, good strong clicks. The illumination is good from just light enough to know its there to very bright. It is second focal plane so your reticle measurements are accurate at full zoom 4x.
Excellent value for the price.

This was my first lvpo, have had it around several years give or take, & I haven't found anything to replace it yet. Made in the Philippines, love the glass, reticle, field of view & generous eyebox(even at 4x). I have & have tried other lvpos with more magnification, but keep coming back to this one. Also great for lightweight builds as it comes in at one lb even, it also takes a beating, illumination is decent, maybe not desert daylight bright, but good. This lvpo punches way above it's weight & I haven't found anything as good in this price range, my only knock on it is the exposed turrets, & also wish the semi circles in the reticle was thinner. This is not a budget scope, but it's offered at a budget price.

This product truly excels in its market segment, particularly considering the exceptional value it provides. It's quite remarkable that this scope is not being sold above its retail price, given that similar products from competing brands are typically offered at twice the cost.

It is also noteworthy that Vortex has discontinued production of the PST model with 1-4 magnification, making this particular model even more precious. Moreover, the lightweight design of this scope sets it apart from the competition, contributing to its suitability for any firearm build. The blend of its rare availability, superior performance, and budget-friendly cost makes this scope a highly attractive option for discerning buyers.

While my personal preference leans towards a scope with a first focal plane (FFP), I recognize that at a 4x magnification, the need for FFP becomes less critical. The use of a Second Focal Plane (SFP) in this scope not only brings significant savings in terms of weight but also adequately meets the requirements for this level of magnification.

What's more, the uncapped turrets are a feature I greatly appreciate. This adds to the practicality of the scope, making it an ideal choice for both novices and seasoned professionals. It is indeed a perfect blend of functionality and accessibility, contributing to its overall practicality.

I got this on sale since I believe it’s the old, outgoing model. It’s very good. Great glass, love the reticle. Worth every penny. I wasn’t sure going with the viper series was that big of a leap, but it definitely is. Would be well worth it at full price, too.

I didn't realize these were still available. I am a great believer in low power variable scopes on AR pattern carbines. 1x4 is in my opinion optimum for a lightweight 16" carbine or SBR. You cannot go wrong with a Vortex Viper.

Have had this scope for a while holds up really well. Has great glass and is durable.Turrets are solid, return to zero is solid!! Scope is just awesome all around Would recommend to any one looking for a good optic.
