I've owned a lot of quality optics over the years including over a dozen different Trijicon ACOGs, a US Optics, Nightforce, several Leupold Mk4, etc. Based upon my experience with other Vortex products I expected a very high value (price to performance) ratio on the PST 6-24 FFP. Upon receiving the optic I was very happy with the packaging, etc. My excitement abated when I dialed the optic over 12x. From 6-12x it is crystal clear. Above 12x and the clarity transitions to a "milky" or "foggy" image. Vortex Customer service was OUTSTANDING in addressing my concerns. Unfortunately, they ultimately found the optic is performing to specifications. I think this is a "you get what you pay for" situation. For the price it is a good optic. Vortex's CS is absolutely second to none (I could write an entire glowing report about how they rolled out the red carpet for me). Would I recommend this optic to someone else? Yes, but I would tell them to expect decreasing image quality with increasing magnification. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I’ve run optics from all the quality manufacturers over the years. This offering from Vortex is simply amazing given its price point.
Completely clear edge-to-edge, great tracking. I disagree with some of the reviews here as I experienced none of the clarity issues at magnifications they mention.
I highly recommend this glass for anyone one on a budget shooting precision rifle up to 1000m.

I purchased this scope just before the deer season to replace a Vortex 4-18x Strike Eagle that was on my Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. The Strike Eagle is a great durable, budget scope that I had no problem reaching out to 500 yards with no problem and I am pleased to say that the PST is its better in every way. The dials are crisp and consistent which made it very easy to sight in. I was also surprised to see that the paralax graduations were accurately marked and useful unlike the Strike Eagle. The clarity of the scope is excellent with good ambient light however, in indoor ranges and at dusk the higher magnifications pick up a slight haze. My only complaints about the scope is that it is a heavy scope and that only three or four magnifications are marked.
As far as durability goes I hunt on an extremely rocky ranch in south Texas and use an old jeep to get around it. After 3 days of violent bouncing and vibration the scope still held its zero and I was able to make consistent shots out to 500 yards. I would highly recommend this scope to anyone looking for a great hunting scope that can also help you reach out to distance.

I have purchased many Vortex PST scopes in the past. The clarity is unsurpassed! Dials move and click just right.
They have the quickest eye piece of any, including Leupold. (my opinion) Buy this and never look back, because it is better than many 1,000.00 + scopes.
The reticle in the FFL model does not get too large.
Great on my 6ppc, 7-08 and now 6BR.

This is a great scope and a tremendous value. Often people will say “it’s great for the money, but...”. No “buts” here. I have three of them. If I acquire a new rifle this is the first and often only scope I consider. Clear glass to the edge at all powers, excellent tracking, reticle not distracting (which can, for me, be a problem with some ranging reticles)...what’s not to like?

Ordered one and it arrived 2 days later. Installed it on my 6mm ARC and it's been the best scope I've owned to date. I'll be getting another one for my 6.5 Grendel soon

I’ve been shooting a long time and just bought, installed and started using this scope. It has improved my skills greatly!!! Great glass, easy to set up, and makes a cheap rifle really accurate and really consistent!!! For grins and giggles I mounted it on a Ruger American Go Wild 6.5Creedmoor, 1st shot to begin zero, 2nd shot fine tune 0, then 6 shots in a 3/4” group @ 100yds using factory load hunting ammo.
BEST MONEY IVE EVER SPENT!!!

This older model scope has all the functionality of the newer model, at a much lower price point. Interestingly, I already owned the newer 5-25, and find this one almost exactly the same for image and function. I like FFP for hunting, and do use the range finding capabilities. Too much trouble to use separate rangefinder. High magnification very useful for precision sighting in and load development. Why not save some$$? while these last.

Out of a 5 star review I give it 6 stars. The clicks are very positive! The turrets are not only audible but you can definitely feel it through your fingers. The tracking is spot on! You can zero, go 20 moa up and 10 moa left, then do the opposite and you’ll still be on zero! The clarity is ridiculously clear and the matching reticle is spot on! It’s a no brainer, buy this scope! Buy it with confidence!

Can't wait to get out and hunt with it and get the real life experience out on the field!! Oh, and I got it on sale!!! NICE!!! Thank you EuroOptic!!!

This scope offers a 1st focal plane illuminated reticle, a zero stop system, side parallax adjustment and a lifetime Vortex warranty. It tracks accurately and the glass is plenty good for what I want to do. At this price point especially, I consider this a screaming good deal.

Great scope at an unbeatable price. I'm not the type that has to have the latest and greatest, so a new series I scope for less than half the price of a series II, perfect for me. Same great scope minus couple minor adjustments. To top it off, Eurooptic has in my opinion the best customer service and shipping policies. Always a great purchase experience for me no matter what I'm purchasing.

The amount of scope per dollar with the Gen 1 PST is incredible. You can most certainly find more clear glass to look through (for 3x the price), but the only two I’ve looked down that are more clear is a razor and a Nightforce. I have 4 of these scopes on various rifles now, you can not go wrong with this scope.

This is super good scope . I have the scope on two rifles and also on my grandson rifle. This scope works for hunting as well as long range shooting at targets. I enjoy shooting . This scope will do everything that I want a scope to do we got this scope at a reasonable price. I would recommend this scope and company we bought it from anytime I was asked about it

Great buy for the sale price. Tracks perfectly and is incredibly clear for an under $500 optic. I don’t think it is as good as the Gen 2 but it is half the price. I use mine for mounting on other people’s guns for load development.

I'm a lifelong vortex owner and once again wasn't disappointed. Again the price is the best in the business as far as bang for your buck . Do yourself a favor if you are straddling the fence. Just make the purchase. Oh yea I do not work for eurooptics or vortex just a loyal customer.

Euro-optic was fast with shipping. The optic itself is clear until your power reaches around 14x then it begins getting cloudy ad eye relief also decreases. For the money optic was worth it but definitely not my leupold

I purchased this scope to accommodate my most recent build-(6.5 creedmoor) this is exactly what I was looking for. The glass is clear and crisp- which makes finding your target very easy.
I really like the option to illuminate the retical for those low light situations. The scope is well built and I have now doubt it will hold zero after being banged around a while. (Not that I do that but things happen and this will definitely hold up if needed)
You can’t go wrong with Vortex and being able to purchase it at such a low price is amazing! Thank you EuroOptics for great deals a incredibly fast shipping!

This is a very high quality product with a crystal clear picture even at max magnification. The clicks on the turrets are very crisp. Once sighted in, I let me wife, who has never shot through a scope, fire it and she was hitting dead on. The price through Eurooptic cannot be beaten. The quickness at which I received my product was incredible as well. I will definitely be buying more from them and definitely more from Vortex.

I’ve built my R700 AAC-SD .308 over time - & when funds were available - into a highly capable LRP rifle... A-5 chassis, Timney trigger, DBM mod, et al, all except for optics that were far inferior to what my R700 required to be considered proper capable for LRP shooting. Given the fact that I’ve built it over time as my budget allowed - a limited budget, mind you - I had my heart set on a Vortex Viper PST 5-25x50 Generation TWO: on average around $1,000, & out of reach for me for quite some time, I suspected.
When I found a Gen ONE available on EuroOptic for almost half the price, I couldn’t let it pass me by; I bought...
My Gen I Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50, MOA, FFL has been everything I hoped for, & everything I expected from Vortex down to the finest details & attention to quality, design & features typically reserved for optics sold for 3x the price at a minimum.
Thanks to EuroOptic making an $800 scope accessible to me at a shocking sale price, I’ve been able to complete my build far sooner - & far better - than I ever expected; that means a lot to me...
I commend EuroOptic on their superior products & fair pricing, as well as customer service / support that properly represents the caliber of business that they seek to be.
Great scope - great price - great company, hands down...

I have purchased, mounted, and put to use several of these Vortex Gen 1 PSTs, and my opinion is that these are a GREAT Value. Very good glass, almost perfect tracking, easy adjustments, and 100% reliable without any problems. Are there better scopes with better glass? Sure. I also own some Leupold and NightForce scopes that I love, and if I had an unlimited budget, I would probably just stick with those brands. However, because I cannot afford to put my favorite Night Force on every gun I own, I appreciate that these Vortex models get me very close to the best at a price I can afford. I am very happy with all of my Vortex purchases.

This is my first FFP high magnification optic. I purchased it for a Aero M5 Ar10 with 18 inch Faxon barrel (will probably switch to 20-22 inch 6.5 creedmoor in the future). I've mounted it using a Vortex Viper 30mm cantilever mount and everything mounted easily and looks good. I've only been out shooting with it once. I used 168 grain OTM at 100 yards. It took about 5 shots to zero dead on @ 100 yards. I was getting consistent .75-1 inch, 3-5 shot groups. I don't have much to compare this to but it seem very nice to me. I usually run red dots (Trijicon MROs) or ACOGs and previously the most variable magnification I had was one Nikon 3-9x40, so this is a big jump up in quality and magnification. I mainly purchased it because it has the lifetime warranty and was half the price of other 24x + FFP. I still go back and forth on the MRAD vs MOA but I went with MOA so I guess that's what I'm stuck with. I will be temporarily mounting this on my SCAR 17 just to see what accuracy I can get out of it, so we will see if it lives through that. If I have to use the warranty at that time, I will update this if possible. I'd buy it again, possibly with MRAD but I don't do enough long range shooting, as of now, for that to matter much.... I'm happy with it.

This was my first optic for long range shooting and couldn't be more pleased with the quality and the price. You can't beat Vortex quality accompanied with its VIP warranty. Had a buddy on the range with me who had a Leopold Mark 4 tactical and was really impressed with the glass clarity and scope options on this Vortex optic versus his more expensive setup. For anyone looking to get into learning MOA for long range shooting and measuring distances this is the way to go. The only con I have with the scope is I am left handed and the illumination turret can sometimes scrap your knuckle when operating the bolt, but other than that no complaints.

Great scope. The turrets track accurately which enables the shooter to dial in targets more efficiently. The turrets are crisp and you can hear the click, which I think is a bonus. The zero stop is a must as well as the FFP. The reticle is great for quick hold over shots. On 6 power, the reticle is a little faint but still workable. I don't notice a change in weight compared to my last burris black diamond scope. The clarity of the scope is great. My friend owns the same scope and has it placed on a 22-250 Ackley. With no wind, he has no troubles shooting out to 1000 yards repeatably. I have the Leupold LRP and the Burris Veracity and this scope out performs the Veracity and is pretty even with the LRP. The rear focus is nice, but when putting scope caps on, the caps will turn while you focus. Great scope, glad I purchased it from Eurooptic. Best price on the intranet for this scope.

Yes, it was love at first sight. I had researched for months before purchasing this scope, the Vortex Viper PST (Gen. 1) 6-24x50, EBR-2C, MOA. I bugged the hell out of the employees of all the local gun shops, and the shops I went to while traveling. I looked through dozens and dozens of scopes, ranging in price from a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars. Is this the highest quality glass that I looked through? No. Is it the one that best fit my criteria for quality, reticle, and price? Definitely. The price being $529.99 at the time of purchase afforded me the opportunity to own a much nicer scope than any other scope you could purchase for even hundreds more.
As far as EuroOptic goes, they are top notch. I emailed a question to customer service before I made the purchase and I received a fast, informative, courteous reply. Most companies, if you ever do get a reply, take days to respond. I got my answer from EuroOptic in about an hour. Yes, WOW!!! And I received my order in 5 business days from placing my order. That is something that I really appreciate.
I am a EuroOptic customer for life and hope you will give them the chance to become one too.

Arrived promptly, the price is the best period. Just bought a Rpr in .308 & needed quality glass to go with it. I am really pleased with this scope. As of this review I haven't had a chance to put it to use, only got it mounted & squared away. But already feel good about this purchase.
