Vortex Optics has really impressed me with the value of their Viper PST line. One of the newest additions to that line is the Viper PST 2.5-10×32 FFP. This is a fairly compact 2.5-10 magnification range optic that looks like it would be right at home on a light precision AR-15 build.
The Viper PST 2.5-10×32 FFP features a first focal place reticle so that you can range targets and have consistent hold overs throughout the entire magnification range. It has matched turrets and reticle measurements so you don’t have to do any conversions on the fly (you can choose between MOA or MRAD models). Speaking of turrets, this optic has customizable zero stops and you can even order custom ballistic matched turrets through Kenton Industries. The reticle is etched and illuminated.
I am really just scratching the surface on this optic. It looks like a whole lot of optic for the $899 MSRP (street prices will probably be around $800). Check out VortexOptics.com.
this is an optic that is years to late coming to market. i am interested to hear how it performs for you. i see some optic swapping in my future…
