The only thing I’ll add that I failed to mention is the glass quality on the Viper PST Gen2. I honestly think the difference between that and the Razor is negligible. For the price, you can’t beat it. A good friend has nothing but Schmidt Bender and Zeiss glass on everything he owns. He was equally impressed. Also, if you are LE or any type of First Responder, Vortex has a program that is exceptional.
One other thing to mention which you may want to pay attention to is the “eye box”. That is the “area” or “range” of location your eye/head must be in to get a proper and complete view of the reticle thru the scope. This is a bit of a personal thing. I like a wide, big “box” that keeps my neck muscles from straining and is a bit forgiving. The “box” gets smaller as the magnification increases, so it’s important to test this at different power settings as you select the scope you want. Like most things, it’s a trade off.
Like I stated, the Vortex showroom has all the scopes (and other optics) mounted on actual rifle stocks. You’re able to wander around the store to your hearts content, and try stuff out at your convenience. Lot’s of friendly staff too. It’s a huge impressive facility that’s worth a visit even if you choose another brand. It’s a “dog friendly” facility (showroom and attached corporate offices) and everyone wanders around with their pooch. It’s quite unique and well worth the trip north to visit.
Good luck!
Edit to add: I’ll post a few pics of the glass up today when I get the chance.
