vortex viper and viper pst

[bigry26]

I am thinking about getting a vortex for my 308. I have been trying to figure out what the main differences are between the viper and the pst. I am on a budget with this one so is the $400 more worth it? Ryan

What are you going to use it for and at what distances?

On Vortex' website, you can compare the two!

The rifle will be an all around rig. paper to 1000 and medium size game to probably 600. I was looking on their site and it looks like mostly the focal plane is the difference. I guess the main thing that I was wondering is are they any different optically

The PST's come either way, SFP or FFP. I believe the PST line has some unique features like the reticle and the raised magnification ring with reverse facing multipliers.

I just mounted a 4.5-18x50 SFP on my .338 Savage with Warne Maxima Rings..... a rasical departure for a Leupy person.....

I think for the PST with the 50 objective Vortex only makes the:

4-16x50 (FFP or SFP)
or
6-24x50 (FFP or SFP)

Could be. It took Warne high rings to clear the rail......

So far, very happy with the purchase.
