VIPER® PST GEN II 1-6X24 RIFLESCOPE

[Slippers]

Not even close to a razor 1-6. Illumination is much dimmer. Build quality is worse. Optical quality is worse.

I love Vortex and this looks OK but I think they are making a mistake by killing the PST 1-4x24. For a few hundred bucks less, the gen 1 PST 1-4x24 has a reticle that I prefer and weighs half a pound less. I still haven't found anything I need to do at 6x that I can't also do at 4x. It seems like there is plenty of room for both in the lineup. The website does not indicate the reticle is glass etched (like the gen 1) and there is nothing in the marketing material that indicates any improvement in glass quality / optical clarity. Honestly I'm a little disappointed and am starting to feel like I should try to snap up one or two of the Gen 1 PSTs before they're gone.

Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 lives on.. "Ranger".. (Looks like the old one to me..)
