Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 - True 1x Tactical Riflescope, VMR-2 MRAD

Overview

The Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 is designed for shooters seeking a versatile solution for short to medium range, from competitive 3-Gun to operational tactical use. Built around a true 1x magnification, it allows instant target acquisition at close range while its graduated reticle provides shooting precision up to medium range when zoomed to 6x.

Technical Specifications

• Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass and multi-coated lenses: superior resolution and color fidelity, even in challenging light conditions.
• 1-6x magnification, 24 mm objective: smooth transition from true 1x close-quarters shooting to medium-range engagement without changing optics.
• VMR-2 MRAD reticle, second focal plane (SFP): glass-etched, with MRAD subtensions for range estimation, holdover, and wind corrections, readable at maximum magnification.
• 10-level illumination: intermediate "off" positions between each intensity to preserve battery life in the field.
• Tactical turrets, 0.1 MRAD clicks: audible and firm adjustment, maximum range of 46 MRAD in elevation and windage, with quick-zero turrets.
• 30 mm monotube aircraft-grade aluminum body: argon purging and O-ring seals ensuring waterproofing and fog resistance.
• 97 mm eye relief, field of view 35.4-5.9 m/100 m: extended visual comfort and wide field of view at 1x for instinctive shooting.
• Length 267 mm, weight 539 g: compact and balanced size suited to tactical and semi-automatic rifles.

Advantages

• Instant transition between close-quarters shooting and distant engagement, without needing to change configuration.
• Monotube aircraft-grade aluminum construction offering shock resistance suited to intensive field use.
• ArmorTek coating protecting the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt for simplified maintenance.
• VMR-2 reticle rated by users as readable and intuitive, with precise holdover marks that don't clutter the field of view.
• Recognized value for money: optical clarity compared by testers to higher-end lines, at a significantly more accessible budget.
• Quick-zero turrets allowing precise return to the zero point after adjustment.

Use and Maintenance

To preserve the optical clarity and waterproofing of the scope, avoid direct impacts on the lenses and clean them only with a microfiber cloth and a product suited to treated optical surfaces. Thanks to argon purging and O-ring seals, the Viper PST Gen II resists moisture and fogging, making it suited to Swiss climate conditions, from mountain shooting to sessions in wet weather. Store the scope in a hard case when not mounted on the weapon, and regularly check the tightness of the mounting rings to maintain point-of-impact accuracy.
