Reviews & Ratings for Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP Rifle Scope — 107 reviews — Page 1

This the second of the FFP scopes I have bought from Vortex. Had a minor problem with first one and they replaced the scope no questions and in a matter of days with no hassle. Scope is very clear with very sharp focus at any range and power setting. You can buy better scopes but you will pay 2 to 3 times the price of this scope. Great product and great company to do business with. Add on Optics Planet's great pricing and service and you cannot go wrong.

Optic planet had the vortex 6x24x50FFP viper post 624F1-A rifle scope at a great price and delivered it within a week. They made the finding of the product and checkout very easy. Great Job. Thank You.

I recently pick this scope up on sale. The price was to good to pass up. I have the 2nd gen version also. I will say the 2nd gen has a little better glass but you are going to pay about double. Also this weights less than the 2nd gen. This scope has everything you need to get out past 1000 yards and also get the long range shot for hunting.

Recently mounted on my Ruger RPR, 6.5 Creedmoor and couldn’t be happier. While I have only stepped it out to 300 yards, I am pleased with the clarity of the glass. I believe there will be no issues with extending far beyond the 500 yard marker.

I purchased a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and went looking for scope to make this gun a thousand yard rifle. comparing price and features of the Vortex Viper there wasn't anything in this price range to match. I purchased the Vortex scope rings with a 1" raise because of the diameter of the scope eyepiece and objective lens. These worked perfectly and fit the guns Picatinny rail. Went to the range and sighted the gun in at 100 yrds for zero. I made the mistake of trying to bore sight the scope before using it and it caused me to over adjust prior to taking it to the range. I feel I would have been much better off just mounting the scope and starting out at 50 yards. Once I finally got the scope back to hitting paper reasonably it was a cinch to get to the zero mark. I was punching the cross out of the center of the target, not once but multiple times. At 500 yards I just crank in my dope on the cartridge I'm using and I can consistently hit 1 MOA. I haven't had the opportunity to take the gun out to it's max range but I have every expectation that the scope and gun will work perfectly.

The scope is the best scope l have ever used l have three great scope. I would recommend this scope to anyone great scope great price. The scope is easy to zero in and very accurate. Customer service is also fantastic my scope was missing the shims. Customer service sent the Sims right away and they also gave me a hat and a t-shirt.

1st Vortex Purchase based on Warranty. The Glass is clear on Sunny days but only up to about 14-16 power. I'm sad to say after over $1000 investment total, a year of fighting with this scope to hold Zero I sent it back on warranty. Checked everything 3x including replacing custom machined/match scope rings for Vortex $100 Match Scope rings I aligned and hand lapped at their technician/engineer's suggestion. Torqued EVERYTHING to spec (16 in/lbs max on rings). Multiple calls to tech support at Vortex (They are nice). Multiple calls to valued firearms experts in my network and with over 50 successful scope mountings to my "Credit" sometimes it's your own stuff that you just wont give up on! After sitting in my safe for months it was 2 - 2.5 Mils off in windage and elevation. No explanation, I had to rezero it each outing, could not zero at 200yds, adjust turret to 100yds, then go back 200yds and it would be again about 2 - 2.5 Mils off? Finally after re-zeroing this last time I tried the box test (20clicks down, 20 clicks right, 20 clicks up, 20 clicks left and it was off after just 15 rounds (.308). Went back to my Bushnell Banner until I get the Vortex back.

This is a very tough scope. I've had it on a few different magnums and it's always held true. I'm not one to claim this will help you shoot better but for some one on a budget this scope might do the job. What's more important is the Vortex Warranty. If anything happens to it, Vortex will fix it for free and pretty quick too. I just wish Leopold/Redfield had that kind of warranty. I'll be shooting this scope in the varmint class this year. It will be mounted on the 5th different rifle. Seriously, I've had a number of shooters tell me they don't like Vortex, but I've got several along with Night Force and Leopold Comp scopes and Vortex is the best bang for the bucks in hunting or competition shooting.

If only OP (were i buy most of my stuff) would had offered this scope in the EBR-2c reticle. I know Vortex cant make that scope fast enough and there on back order because there great ,but I would have waited no problem. For long range shooting that reticle works fantastic.

My wife bought this for me for my birthday this year.I have it mounted on a Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC SD in 308. I was amazed at how clear this optic is. Took a deer with it this year and plan on using it for precision shooting some as well. I have had no issues whatsoever and this scope is one solid piece of engineering. When you couple this optic with Vortex's no questions guarantee you have a winning combination! I doubt I will ever buy another optic from any other company when I can get quality and value like this in one package from Vortex.
