Many shooters have a tendency to put too much magnification on rifles that will mainly be used at closer ranges. A 7-35X is great for extreme range precision but can be overwhelming when the course is completely inside a few hundred yards. Many of the original Mk12 rifles had only 2.5-8X or 3-9X scopes and have been utilized beyond 700 yards.
The recent trends of pushing scopes to the extremes of ultra-high magnification or sticking with LVPOs have caused some to ignore the benefits of a medium magnification scope. A robust 2-10X such as this Viper PST Gen II can be used as a primary optic on a host of different platforms. Starting with a 5X magnification range inside a 30mm tube, this shockproof optic also features an illuminated first focal plane reticle and a zero stop elevation turret. Another feature often missing on optics below 12X is a side focus parallax adjustment.
Being able to focus down to 20 yards also brings this optic into close range use for things such as rimfire competition and training set-ups. Exposed turrets for those who prefer to crank dials instead of working inside the reticle make for quick adjustments on the fly and, with 25 minutes per rotation, easy to count. Crisp, clean images are provided by fully multi-coated glass and Vortex's XR series HD lens elements. Scratch and dirt resistant coatings also prolong the life and enhance the shooter experience. Run across the course with the Viper PST Gen II.
The Vortex Viper PST Gen II 2-10x32 FFP Rifle Scope is the perfect scope for close quarters to long-range combat. This scope features an illuminated, glass-etched reticle and an illuminated dial integrated into the side focus adjustment knob for easy use. The extra-low dispersion glass in the Vortex Viper PST Gen II Illuminated Rifle Scope is fully-coated with multiple anti-reflective coatings for superior light transmission and clarity, resulting in razor-sharp images. Featuring tactical-style turrets, ArmorTek coating on all exterior lenses, and a 30mm single piece aircraft grade aluminum body, the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 2-10x Aluminum Rifle Scope is extremely durable.
