The illumination rheostat is located on the windage and elevation box and offers a graduated control knob with 10 brightness levels. The parallax-free performance is set 100 yards.

The high-quality aluminum housing is built around a durable single-piece 30mm maintube. One of the highlights of the mechanics is the Precision-Glide Erector System that ensures zooming action remains smooth under the most challenging conditions. For consistent repeatability and ease of adjustment, Vortex outfitted this optic with a Precision-Force Spring System. The scope's windage and elevation provide exposed graduated turrets with red fiber optic position markers on the knobs. The entire construction is robust, argon-filled fogproof, and O-ring sealed waterproof to ensure reliable performance for years of service.

Vortex Viper PST 1-6x24 Reviews

Rock solid with the recoil of a modern 45. 70

Installed this on a Marlin 1895G getting ready for a Moose hunt. Mounted a EGW picatinny rail and used some 30mm Vortex Pro rings and sighted it in. Running 350gr bullets in front of 42. 8gr of IMR 4198. This load is quite accurate but kicks much more than the Remington 405gr for the old trapdoor rifles. My shoulder is now in technicolor, but the scope dialed in and is holding zero perfect! Would buy again.

Vortex used to be a great optic. But clearly they have fallen off. I now see why they push their VIP warranty. Because they keep sending me useless scopes. First one the reticle cake loose, second one won't hold zero. Lets see what the third one does. . . so annoying. The scope has spent more time off the rifle than on it. Never again.
