Review: This is literally the Razor HD minus Japanese made glass and Japanese build. So meaning, it's the baby brother that has the next best thing. Philippine glass with Philippine build. Why should you buy it over others in the same price category? Simple... Quality to price performance. This things functions similar to the Razor HD. Great capped turrets with tactile clicks. Diopter works very well but the magnification lever is a bit stiff even after years of use. Is this a bad thing? No. Just put a throw lever on it and done. Very easy to adjust everything. Aside from the build and glass quality compared to a Razor HD, this is a bigger or should I say longer optic. But even so, it still goes well on a 14.5 and up AR Recce build. Speaking of clarity, again, the glass is Philippines made glass. If you're not familiar, Philippines made glass is mid to high end tier. With Japan and Germany being the top tier. So you're getting great glass in this optic. Lastly, what about the illumination? Well, it's absolutely day light bright. With it on at 1 power, this things acts nearly like a red dot. I said nearly because you still have a bit of parallax and scope shadow even at 1x. But in all honesty, if you set it up correctly, it can be used at 1x like a red dot. This is how I have this setup in my Recce build on a Midwest Industries QD mount. Speaking of mount, this thing holds zero even after multiple times of mounting and dismounting on a rifle. Even dropped it a couple of times by accident and it held zero. Although it is now scratched up, but I like my scopes having battle scars. But no issues with the scopes functionality. Overall, this LPVO will go down in history of LPVOs as "the sweet spot" when it comes to price to performance. If you want some Razor HD quality but don't want to pay Razor HD price, this is the closest thing. Just in case you're wondering, I own a Razor HD as well, just not at 1-6x. Owning the Razor HD makes me wonder why I even forked out more money for it when this thing is tried and true as well. Review: Very clear glass, tactical turret adjustments with a solid click and best of all it's daylight bright and has a shutoff between brightness levels. Get one, best LPVO MSR scope under $1,000.00 with the VIP warranty to back it up. I have 2 HS-T and 1 HS Vipers on my hunting rifles with a Venom red dot on my pistol. Love every one of them. ## Features - Eye removal: 9.6 cm Field of view at 100 m: 34 m (1x) /5.6 m (6x) Tube diameter: 30 mm Lens Coating: Full multi-coating Tube length: 27.7 cm Weight: 640 g Lighting adjustment: 10 steps Hair cross colour: Red parallax: 9 1 m (100 yards) Maximum adjustment of operation: 160 MOA Maximum height adjustment: 160 MOA Click value at 100 metres: 1/2 MOA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N0ZAULT | | Brand Name | Vortex | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Rifle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (252) | | Eye Relief | 96.5 Millimeters | | Field Of View | 34.3 Meters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00875874008229 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 27.7L x 27.7W x 27.7H centimetres | | Item Weight | 22.7 Ounces | | Magnification Maximum | 1 | | Magnification Minimum | 1 x | | Material Type | Aluminium | | Mounting Type | Weaver Mount | | Night vision | No | | Objective Lens Diameter | 24 Millimetres | | Product Style | Rifle Scope | | Reticle Type | Red Dot | | Sport Type | Hunting | | UPC | 719896778015 875874008229 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vortex - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 22.7 Ounces - **Magnification maximum:** 1 - **Magnification minimum:** 1 x - **Material:** Aluminium - **Objective lens diameter:** 24 Millimetres - **Product dimensions:** 27.7L x 27.7W x 27.7H centimetres - **Sport:** Hunting - **Style:** Rifle Scope ## Images ![Optics Viper PST Gen II Rifle Scope 1-6x24mm VMR-2 MOA Reticle PST-1605 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-wRHEGN-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does Vortex make this scope in a ffp?** A: They do make the scope in ffp. **Q: Where is the glass from** A: Hello, The glass used in the Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24 SFP Riflescope VMR-2 MOA is made in Japan. **Q: I'm planning on installing a vortex ebr-4 on my tikka t3x... what is the correct scope mount height for this combination ??** A: I have this exact combo in 6.5 Creedmoor. Looking at my old order, I bought "Vortex Optics Precision Matched Rings 30mm - Height 1.26 inches - Picatinny Mount " from Amazon and they work great for me. They're not cheap though, but neither was the scope. **Q: Does the pst1607 1-6x25 come with a screw in theow lever?** A: No. The focus throw lever is a separate purchase under "Vortex Optics Riflescope Switchview Throw Levers." The correct lever can be selected by Vortex scope type. It is not a screw in type, but tightens around the barrel of the rotating focus dial. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***N on 16 August 2025* This is literally the Razor HD minus Japanese made glass and Japanese build.

Love every one of them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***N on 29 June 2024* This optic exceeds my expectations and I’ve used a lot of scopes over the years. The clarity is top notch and the build is exceptional. Just to clear the air on some of the negatives I read before I bought. The red dot is 100% daylight bright. Even on setting 6-7 is daylight bright. 10 is too bright honestly. The scope lever itself is super smooth and NOT hard to turn at all. Great job on the scope vortex. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II Second Focal Plane Riflescopes - Vortex Optics Pro Extended Viper Cantilever Riflescopes Mounts - Vortex Optics Riflescope Switchview Throw Levers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48996823-optics-viper-pst-gen-ii-rifle-scope-1-6x24mm-vmr](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48996823-optics-viper-pst-gen-ii-rifle-scope-1-6x24mm-vmr) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
