I snagged one from Optics planet for just a touch over $500. The dot is super bright, easily used as a red dot close in, the reticle isn't as fancy as the ACSS but the first and second mil should be close to 300 and 400 based on a ballistic calculator. I like the fact that it has great turrets under caps and off settings in between each illum setting. Plus using them side by side I like the reticle consistent, especially since I'm really not ranging anything with this power scope anyway. 300-400 max for me at the most.
MStarmer,
I don't want to derail the OP's trajectory at this point in the thread, but does the Viper PST have similar edge-to-edge clarity to the Razor? There are no stores near me that carry a good enough variety of Vortex scopes for me to compare, and I'm going back and forth trying to decide on the Razor vs. the Viper.
Where violence is the local language, be fluent.
