The Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1–6x24 VMR-2 MRAD is a
low power variable optic built for shooters who need rapid engagement at close
range with the option to extend their reach when required. Designed around
speed, control and durability, it is well suited to dynamic shooting
environments.
With a true 1x setting, the scope delivers a wide
field of view that supports fast target acquisition and intuitive aiming.
Increasing magnification to 6x provides additional clarity for more deliberate
shots at mid-range distances, making it a practical option for varied shooting
scenarios.
The scope features a VMR-2 MRAD reticle in a second focal
plane configuration, keeping the reticle size constant as magnification
changes. The reticle includes reference points for holdover and wind correction
while maintaining a clear central aiming area for quick target focus.
An illuminated centre aiming point enhances
visibility in low-light conditions and improves contrast against darker
targets. The brightness settings can be adjusted to suit different lighting
environments, allowing the reticle to remain clearly visible without
overpowering the sight picture.
Adjustment is managed through capped turrets, which
help prevent unintended movement while maintaining reliable tracking when
changes are required. This design is suited to shooters who prioritise
consistency and minimal adjustment during use.
The optical system is designed to provide a clear and
balanced image, supporting target identification across the magnification
range. The 24mm objective lens keeps the scope compact, contributing to
a lightweight and manageable setup.
Constructed from a single-piece aluminium tube, the scope is
built for strength and alignment stability. Its sealed design protects against
moisture and environmental exposure, ensuring dependable performance in outdoor
conditions.
