great product clear sight picture. Used for long range target shooting. Would have bought two if my wife wouldn’t have been pissed. Last name brand optic used couldn’t hold a zero so borrowed a Vortex and will stick with them from now on.

Product Info for Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50mm 30mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope

Mount this Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 Rifle Scope to gain an unbelievable tactical edge in the field. Vortex Optics crafted these Rifle Scopes with illuminated reticles that offer 10 different intensity levels with off positions between each setting so that you can easily customize your sighting experience at the range. This Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50mm Rifle Scope is waterproof, fog proof and shockproof to handle poor weather conditions and the powerful recoil from your weapon. ArmorTek coatings protect the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt, and the hard anodized finish protects the tube from corrosion while also creating a low-glare matte surface for maximum concealment during a hunt. These optics are user-friendly, with features like the Rapid Zero Return (RZR) that prevents your turret from dialing below sight in range and the fast focus eyepiece that allows you to quickly focus in on the reticle for quicker shots when it matters most.
