Love the scope and the reticle is great. The off position between each power position for the illuminated reticle is really smart. Love the open exposed elevation and windage adjustors. Having to remove and install caps on other scopes is a pain, especially when you need to make range adjustment. Use a strong mount. Don't cheap out on the mount and you will be very happy with the scope's performance.My only dislike is the mil dot reticle cross isn't dark or bold enough for fast comfortable use. May be my eyes, I am 47 and use contacts. But the mil dot lines are small and thin.

I now have six of these scopes. I brought two earlier in the year and four more of them when they were on sale over the Christmas holiday. I also took advantage of a "loyal customer" discount coupon and got a really good deal on this really good scope.One is being used on a 6.8 SPC AR I built. I have used that on one hunting trip last year and it performed as well as any of my other high end hunting scopes (Leaupold, Schmidt and Bender). The 4x is enough for my big game hunting need. The fine reticles and the small dot allows me to easily engage both animal shaped targets as well as the traditional decimal "bullseye" aiming black I would encounter in NRA High Power Rifle conceptions events. the illuminated reticle really helps in low light situations or when target contrast is not that good. I also like the easily adjustable turret set up. It scope also seem to have good repeatability with the zero. this will be important to me as a High Power rifle shooter.The feature about this scope that I like the most is the true 1x setting and the wide field view for personal defense use. This is going to be my go-to scope for my Service Rifles when I get around to converting them to the flat-top configuration. I am also planning to use it on a AR10 .308 carbine which is being built. I may even swap out one of my personal defense AR15s currently equipped with an EOTech with this scope.Only negative I have is with the lighted reticle. At its highest setting is almost not bright enough for bright outdoor use.

Perfect scope for CMP service rifle competition.Budget hi-end scope. Zero stop works as advertized. Glass is very clear.Have both; M-RAD and MOA. Illumination shut off is very useful.Best part is the Vortex warranty.

I bought this Viper PST 1-4X MRAD scope after over a year of reviewing potential 3-gun scopes and am very pleased with the results. It's got super-clear glass, a nice, wide field of view, and best of all, a fantastic reticle that is perfect for rapid transitions between close-up targets and also for taking those precision shots out past 500 yards.The biggest pleasant surprise for me is how super-fine the stadia lines are–I came from an ACOG, whose BDC lines are so thick they almost completely cover up a 10" steel plate at 400yds or more. On the Viper PST's reticle, the stadia are so fine that I was able to visually slice a 10" plate into quadrants even out to 500yds*. And my shot placement and scores have dramatically improved. The biggest disappointment was to find that the reticle's illumination is not bright enough for the bright desert sunlight. It's definitely bright, just not as bright as say the Meopta K-Dot scopes, which DO hold up in the same bright sunlight.But all that is more than made-up for by the outstanding features. I love the large target turrets (though I wish they were about 5mm shorter so I wouldn't knock them into barricades), the return-to-zero-lock, and the little amenities like the fiber optic indicators. Best of all is the no-questions-asked warranty. My hope is that Vortex will someday improve the reticle brightness, and I'll send my scope in for a free upgrade, making it quite literally the PERFECT 3-gun scope. I have compared this to my friend's Swarovski Z6i, and though that is a very fine scope, I consider the VIper PST better for 3-gunning for a couple of reasons: far better reticle design, better controls. I also compared it side-by-side with the much-cheaper Burris TAC30 that some of my squad-mates are running. They enjoy having a true BDC on the TAC30 (especially versus the Trijicon TR24s they used to run), but I prefer the finer stadia lines of the Viper PST and much better build quality. If this scope were lost, I would definitely buy another one.* I should warn those buyers with poor eyesight: the reticle's stadia lines are too fine for the members of my squad that require reading glasses.Pros: Bright, clear glass, superb reticle, handy turrets and features.Cons: Illumination not really daylight visible, MRAD clicks are a bit too coarse compared to the MOA model, zoom ring is a bit stiff for competition.

This product truly excels in its market segment, particularly considering the exceptional value it provides. It's quite remarkable that this scope is not being sold above its retail price, given that similar products from competing brands are typically offered at twice the cost. It is also noteworthy that Vortex has discontinued production of the PST model with 1-4 magnification, making this particular model even more precious. Moreover, the lightweight design of this scope sets it apart from the competition, contributing to its suitability for any firearm build. The blend of its rare availability, superior performance, and budget-friendly cost makes this scope a highly attractive option for discerning buyers. While my personal preference leans towards a scope with a first focal plane (FFP), I recognize that at a 4x magnification, the need for FFP becomes less critical. The use of a Second Focal Plane (SFP) in this scope not only brings significant savings in terms of weight but also adequately meets the requirements for this level of magnification. What's more, the uncapped turrets are a feature I greatly appreciate. This adds to the practicality of the scope, making it an ideal choice for both novices and seasoned professionals. It is indeed a perfect blend of functionality and accessibility, contributing to its overall practicality.
