| Is the Vortex Viper PST 1-4 Mrad FFP? Im looking for a 1-4 FFP Mrad scope in the 4-$600 range. Does anyone have any opinions on this particular scope or any other comparable ones. |

I don't believe the Viper is a FFP scope. Someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong though. I did a quick search and the only FFP Vipers I saw were the higher magnification ones. The reviews I've seen on the 1-4 Viper have all been outstanding for the price range of the scope, many comparing it to the $1000 models. I'm really not sure what is offered in that price range that would be FFP.
Hope that helps some 
eta: my search was on the 1-4 scopes and nothing I saw said either way whether they were first or second FP except for the higher mag scopes which DID say they were FFP |
| Not FFP, and its a great scope for the money, but the illumination is only usable in shade or at night. I had one for a lil while but wanted something more rugged and sold it, but that does not mean its not rugged. It just was not the bombproof ruggedness I wanted in a 1-4. |

So, which 1-4 is more bombproof, and what are the weak points of the Vortex? |

The reticle is too fine to range with as well, but I use holds anyways. |

Nightforce, Elcan, VCOG, Leupold, but those are all out of my price range which is why I went with a Eotech G33 magnifier.
