Anyone own one? What are your likes/dislikes?
Good optics for the $$$?

I would also be interested in this. I saw one today and was a little impressed by it, but know nothing about them.

I have one on my .204 - I think it is the best scope on the market for the money. I liked it so much, that every scope I've bought since has been a Vortex.

I had 2 of the PST first focal plane scopes mounted on 20 MOA bases. I did not care for the fact that the eyebox did not show a round view on lower? magnification. The top was shadowed in the picture and it was just odd for me to look through the scope. These were for target shooting and hunting, but 6x on the low end is a bit too high for me on a hunting rifle.

The tracking was great and the glass was clear. If mounted on a zero MOA base, the issues I had would have been nonexistent. Great scopes for the money.

I have one on a Rem 700 in .308, like it, enough to get another Vortex, a crossfire II for a yet to be decided on rifle.

I'm not a fan of lighted cross hairs.
but I'm a huge fan of Vortex scopes, I have either been buying them for new rifles or replacing my old scopes with them.
for the price point they are real hard to beat and their better ones compare with leupold at the same price point.

i have their binoculars for hunting and it kind of sucks to see stuff clearly in the 10 power binoculars but struggle to be able to find it in a 12 power scope.
that prompted me to start changing to their scopes.

The Vortex PST 6x24 is an excellent scope. I have helped mount, zero and program 2 of them to 1000 yds on two different rifles. They are well worth the $s.

I just wanted to say that I did not intend my review to be negative, just something for a prospective buyer to be aware of. I still have my 4-16 Vortex Viper PST on my 300 whisper rifle and really like it.

I have 2 Vortex both are HST-LR-moa FF. One is a 4-16 and the other is a 6-24. I like everything about them. At the match's I have looked through everything, Nightforce, Zeiss, Burris, Leupold, Sightron111. For the money the Vortex is hard to beat, mine are clear, I like the FFP LR reticle and zero stops. I prefer MOA over Mil, must have taken to much shop class in High School.

I have one on a .308 Ruger M77 in a custom stock with a match barrel. It shoots 1/2 MOA all day. Everyday.

I went ahead and got the Viper PST 6x24x50 Mil/Mil and put it on my .338 Lapua.
I am very happy with this optic. Very clear glass. Tracks well, and I've made hits on steel past 1700 yards. Well worth the money. Attachment 189624

NICE lookin setup!! A friend of mine has one of these, his looks nearly identical to yours. He is driving nails with 300 Grain Nosler Accubonds

[Loudenboomer]

I have the non lighted version. Viper HST Mil/Mil. Excellent scope.

I am using 300gr Nosler Custom Competition bullets at 2700fps using H1000

[Moonie]

Not a Vortex but Nikon just released a scope that looks to be a direct competitor for this Vortex, I just ordered one. The Black X1000 6x24 50mm with illuminated mrad reticle. It should ship in about 2 weeks. It will be going on my new 22 Nosler upper.

Don't leave out the VIP warranty, Vortex take care of their customers. A guy know very well bought a used Viper HS-T, started having tracking problems. So, i wrote an email to the cust service dept for him, had a reply in about 8 hrs. I answered back, mentioned the VIP warr, and the fact that out of 3 of us, we have a total of 7 Viper HST 4x16x44 scopes, all are super scopes. We use them at 1,000 measured yds with great repeatable success. In less than 10 days they sent my friend a brand new replacement Viper HS-T. That's good service, any way you look at it.
