The Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 is a low-power variable optic built for fast, accurate shooting from contact distance out to several hundred yards. At 1x it works like a red dot with both eyes open, and at 6x the illuminated VMR-2 MOA reticle gives you precise holdover and wind marks for longer shots.
Extra-low dispersion glass and XR Plus coatings deliver a bright, sharp image, while capped turrets and a fast-focus eyepiece keep it simple and snag-free. The 30 mm tube is argon purged for waterproof and fogproof performance, backed by the Vortex VIP unlimited, unconditional lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1-6x scope best for?
It is ideal on AR-15s, hog rifles and brush guns where you need speed up close and the option to reach out. Hunters use it for running hogs, close-cover deer and predator hunting.
Is the illumination daylight bright?
The illuminated center helps the aiming point stand out at 1x and in low light. In very bright sun the black reticle remains fully usable even with illumination off.
What mount fits it?
It uses a 30 mm tube and is most often mounted in a 30 mm cantilever mount on flat-top AR rifles.
