HyNoon Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I have the Viper PST 6x24x50 and absolutely love it. It's the best scope I've ever owned. It does not have capped turrets but the elevation turret does have a zero stop so it would be quick to re zero it if it was bumped. For the price it is very comparable to the higher end scopes, as I was going to purchase a nightforce . It does have the best warranty but I have never had to use it, maybe that's what some people confuse it when they say they have the best warranty because it's no questions asked. I only know 1 person who has had to send theirs back and it's because he over tighten the rings and bent the tube, but he received a brand new viper pst question asked. It was hard to watch my wife fall on here nikon scope on her javi hunt and couldn't help but think I wish it had a vortex on it. It is currently getting replaced with a vortex for that reason and an upgrade as well. Good luck on your decision. I hope all the info you have received from all members has helped.

Hoss50 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I love my Redfield Revolution. I have a 3x9x40 that I am going to move to another rifle soon and get a new 4x12x40 for my 257 weatherby. I am also contemplating a nice vortex for it as well since I found out today a coworker can get me a sick deal on a vortex scope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I did get the Vortex 6x24 50mm PST EBR 1 FFP and is was at an incredible price. I can't say how much as I promised I wouldn't tell. I can't wait to get it mounted and start the tests. Thanks to all who added your comments either pro or con. I will let you know how it works out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted June 1, 2015 Went out this morning and started the first tests on my new Viper...WOW...what a scope!!!! Super impressed. Think I found two loads that work the best as well. This is just a start and I hope to get it even tighter. Thanks to all who helped with your comments promoting Vortex. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murfys69law Report post Posted June 2, 2015 This is a mute point. However Nikon doesn't have an "Unconditional, No questions asked, Lifetime Warranty. They have a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" and I have had to pay for a repair before. My whole post was to get views on scopes and I still appreciate the different comments from all of you. I am extremely happy with my Vortex as I can now see a target at 500 yards with a more powerful magnification. I do own a Nikon Monarch that is on my .270 wsm and I love it. Thanks again all.
