Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 SFP VMR-2 MRAD Scope
The Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 is a fast, low-power variable riflescope designed for close-to-mid-range applications such as driven boar, woodland stalking, and moving quarry. It features a genuine 1x setting that enables both-eyes-open target acquisition, which is essential for quick target identification at short distances.
The second focal plane VMR-2 reticle remains clear and uncluttered at low magnification, with hash-marked MRAD subtensions for accurate ranging, holdover, and windage. These subtensions are true to scale at one specified magnification, not across the entire zoom range.
Illumination offers 10 intensity levels with off positions between settings, allowing brightness to be adjusted to match varying light conditions. The illumination dial is positioned opposite the windage turret for intuitive and rapid access.

This scope performs well in close-range hunting situations. The 1x setting helps with quick target acquisition, and the VMR-2 reticle is easy to read. The illumination works well in dim light, and the turret access is intuitive. A reliable choice for woodland and stalking scenarios.
Sarah Dowd –
I use this scope for driven boar and small game. The magnification range is useful, and the reticle markings are clear. The low-power setting is especially helpful for spotting moving targets. Slight adjustment lag at higher magnifications, but overall solid performance.
