Does Vortex sell a killflash/ARD product for the Viper PST Gen II 1-6x24?

If not, are there any third party product recommendations?

I have seen them before but my google-fu is not coming back with results I am familiar with.  My 2 cents are a kill flash on a LPVO is not going to be a benefit in anyway you are going to lose a lot of clarity and make the optic really dark.  I have had kill flashes on optics as low a 40mm objectives and they get really dark and distorted.  If you are that concerned with scope glint/reflection install the sunshade included with the scope.
Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Thanks for the advice. Never had a killflash to experiment with.

I have had them on previous scopes and have taken them off very shortly after.  They will make the optic kind of dim and smokey like appearance while losing a lot of clarity.  I could see if you life absolutely depended on not being seen why you might want one but a sunshade will cover the objective for 99% of the possible scenarios where you might have a glint/reflection where the 1% is you looking towards the suns direction low on the horizon.
Just me but the benefit of a killflash does not outweigh the losses you incur from having it.  Save your money and invest in good scope caps.
