Expert Review

Lots of bang for your buck

by Matt S., Gear Expert from IL, United States Written on January 9, 2019

A really great 1-6x that doesnt break the bank.

Solid LVPO in second focal plane that is great for almost any carbine application.

A little heavy compared to some of the competition and I wish the illumination ring locked like on the other PST Gen 2 models but other than that no complaints.

Paired this optic with an ADM mount and have been really happy with the setup.

Most Helpful Positive Review Very Happy

I am new to the sporting rifle world, and the best advice I received from my shooting buddies was buy once cry once. I bought an AR-15 and first mounted a hi end red dot, which I was very happy with, but wanted a little more when shooting out past 100 yards at the range (my eyes just aren't what the...

Most Helpful Negative Review Poorest of Quality

I pre-ordered the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6 (MRAD)through Optics Planet in January and received my first one in February. I was initially very impressed by scope glass and adjustment knobs, if seemed like quality. That quickly ended after firing only 18 shots through a .223 AR. The windage adjust...

Awesome….!

by A, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on July 28, 2026

The clarity, the range of magnification, the illumination.. at low light the sweet spot is about 3-4x.. love it for the deer rifle and with the mil radian reticle, there’s even a bit of ranging.

Not terrible but value lacks

by Ruben Van Staden, Verified Owner from MD, United States Written on July 8, 2026

Ordered this scope for a midrange AR build. At first glance quality is not bad, however it immediately gives off made in china vibes. Unlike the Philippines built predecessors which felt premium in hand this feels mass produced in spite of being made in Phillipines. I feel at the price point a zoom ring lever should be included as well as changeable tactical turrets. Would definately look elsewhere for more value at this price point.

Vortex scope

by Otter, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on May 12, 2026

Great product. Very generous eye relief. Using on a Marlin 1895sbl. 1x6 is perfect for a 250 yd. Rifle. Slightly heavy.

excellent scope.for the money

by Drakin, from PA, United States Written on March 7, 2026

This scope has great optics. I also have a Vortex Razor HD, and the optics are very comparable. Plus it has the Vortex customer service and warranty which is second to none.

My first Vortex

by David L, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on February 26, 2026

As I was researching my first optics for my first new AR-15 rifle, I spent some time on Opticsplanet website to sort through so many options! It was easy and helpful to start drilling down to the perfect selection. Price value, quality, and reliability was the goal of the search. Navigation was easy, reviews were helpful, and final selection was clear!

Pros:

Vortex clarity was awesome, loved the red dot, and overall quality was clear.

Cons:

none yet

Best Used for:

Hunting and plinking suppressed rounds

Best scope I own

by JustMe, Verified Owner from SD, United States Written on December 26, 2025

I love this lpvo. I owned the st ike eagle previously and I hated it but this scope is perfect. It makes my red dot/3x combo feel incompetent. I want one on every close to medium range rifle I own. The clarity is better than the diamond tactical. I wish this one came in ffp but for my needs, it's not necessary. A green dot would have put this over the top. This is the new bar for me and anything less will not suffice.
