Do you really need a 24x magnification? I had a 6x12x50 and eye relief sucked. Fo me anyway.Originally posted by wickedblkgt View PostI'm currently looking at a Vortex Viper PST 6x24x50 FFP. Are these scopes any good, I know its not a Nightforce but is it worth it??? Thanks in advance.

I just built DPMS LR .308 with a bunch of go fast goodies and want to take it out past 500yrds, so I think I need some pretty good magnification.Last edited by wickedblkgt; 07-12-2016, 05:33 PM.

I have that exact scope. Yes, they are one of the best scopes for the money. Great features. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being US Optics, 1 being mcdonalds toy binoculars I'd rate it an 8. The glass has some chromatic aberration on the long end, and could be brighter, but overall it's pretty solid.Originally posted by wickedblkgt View PostI'm currently looking at a Vortex Viper PST 6x24x50 FFP.

High magnification doesn't have forgiving eye relief, it's just the nature of the beastOriginally posted by soap View PostDo you really need a 24x magnification?

I'm sure they're good. I use mine for long range so I'm using a LaRue 20MOA base.Originally posted by wickedblkgt View PostThanks CJ, I might take you up on that.

I've never used one. I'm not sure if those were out when I bought my vortex, it was several years ago. For me, I needed an illuminated reticle for use with nightvision. There wasn't many FFP with thst at the time.Originally posted by dee View PostImo the Burris XTR II is better at a similar price"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Glass was far better to my eyes. Everything was great about it and my only complaint was the turrets seemed a touch stiff. The scr reticle is just about perfect for myself as I'm not a huge fan of tree reticle.Originally posted by CJ View PostI've never used one.
