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...

Great scope for the price point

by Xring, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on March 20, 2025
These scope are great quality for the price point. They are built very strong and the glass quality is excellent. I have three of there scopes. Being it’s a 1-6x24, on one
Power you can use it like a red dot since the center of the reticle has a red dot. Use both eyes open just like a normal red dot.

Vortex Viper PST 1,6

by Ryan M, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on January 17, 2025
Haven’t sighted it in yet. But arrived in a very timely manner. Scope is very well built. Easily focuses at all magnifications. I love the reticle on this scope and the variable brightness of the illuminated center dot is amazing. Off switches in between every setting. Looking forward to shooting on it this weekend. Also comes with a sun shade. Added a throw lever for the zoom ring. A must. Works like a charm. You will like this scope.
Pros:
  • Price
  • Quality
  • reticle
  • Warrany
Cons:
  • weight
  • Hard to turn zoom ring
Best Used for:
  • Short to Mid Range Engagement
Would recommend: Yes

great scope for the price

by Xring, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on December 16, 2024
I’ve been buying and using Vortex scopes for twenty five years. The price versus quality can’t be beat. Once you get into their Viper series scopes your into their higher quality scopes. I own several of the viper scope and the glass quality is excellent. I would recommend any of the Vortex scope and you get their lifetime warranty.
Pros:
  • high quality glass
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Decent for the money

by DB, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on November 9, 2024
I wanted a stout lpvo to put on a Ruger GSG field of view on any power is just great. Would have loved to have the money free to get an accupoint. I work an honest job with a non-profit though so, be a responsible adult I must. Vortex has a great warranty, the viper line has good glass, and it’s moderately affordable. My only gripe is that there is a fair bit of edge distortion at 1x.
Pros:
  • field of view
  • Stout
  • afforable
Cons:
  • Edge distortion on lowest power setting
Would recommend: Yes

Amazing Glass w/ Amazing Vortex Backing

by B. Veloso, Verified Owner from NJ, United States Written on October 12, 2024
I never think twice about ordering a Vortex product and this was definitely one of those moments. Perfect addition to my lever rifle in .45-70 which allowed me to get SUBMOA groups at 100 yards. Crystal clear glass and amazing build quality. Do not hesitate to get as you will not regret it.

Vortex viper PST Gen II 1X6X24

by D. Trump, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on September 27, 2024
This is a great scope. Very clear glass. Bright. I love the reticle and single dot illumination for deer hunting. Dialing down to 1 power is nice for walking deer up close. You can keep both eyes open and time your shot between trees easily. Scope is also bright at low light situations.
