I found the best price out in Sandy from Rapid Fire Arms.  He's a great guy.  And I LOVE my Viper PST ffp.  In fact, I just sold a Nightforce and I'm getting another Viper PST for my Grendel.


I tried to get an account with Vortex myself but they only grant dealerships to brick and mortar stores...

I talked to him last night real nice guy.  He says that Vortex is months out from when you order one (PST)....

I'm not wanting to wait that long.

Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP or Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP I've haven't decided exactly which one yet.  A guy I workd with brought his 4x16 in for me to check out today.

I've had some luck at Amazon.com when ordering Viper scopes.

I have a MOA Vortex Viper PST 1-4×24 on my PTR-91 and it's great. In hindsight I should have gotten the Vortex Viper Pst 4-16x50 like you mentioned. Let us know which one you decide to go with.

Rainier Arms has the 4-16 in stock for a decent price.  They're a site sponsor and good peoples.  The 6-24 is out of stock.

Sweet, you'll like it.  What are you putting it on?


I set up a notification with Rainier for whenever they get 'em back in.  My Grendel needs the 6-24 FFP in Mrad REAL bad.    I just sold my Nightforce and the money should hit me here tomorrow, so I'm ready to throw down!  Basically I traded the NF in for a Viper PST FFP and a mess of tooling for the new lathe...

Yah, I think I'll get a chance to go.  Not sure though; we have a baby coming in about three weeks...  I usually use a .17hmr for the rats cause one of the places we go only allows rimfire.  But an accurate .223 paired up with that scope should be a wicked combo for you.

We've got a new ranch to shoot this year so we're pretty excited to get out.  Most the ranches we shoot actually want centerfire over rimfire.  I guess they've had issues with fliers.

I'm also building an elevated platform to go on top of my truck.  It should hold three shooters if everything goes as planned.

I'm leaving the kids at home with the wife!!!  That can be tough with a new born though...

Scope was delivered to my office today.  It's pretty dang nice.  Bummer part is my Warne Ramp mount won't be here for another week or two.  I guess the last run of mounts had problems at anodizing so they got to go back again.

Other then that I'm stoked.
