Hi, anyone here got a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 scope on your AR15? What do you guys think about it? How would you compare the durability and reliability of it over EOtech sights? I currently have EOtech 517 on my AR15 with 16" barrel but i have been thinking about selling the EOtech and get the Vortex 1-4x24 tactical scope. So... should I sell it? Let me know, it might help me decide what to do.

Thanks in advance

That's kind of apples and oranges isn't it? The Vortex 1-4 being a variable powered scope and the Eotech being a battery powered 1x optic.

How do you plan to use you rifle? Hunting? Home defense? Range toy? Safe queen?

This thread would be better suited for the optics section. Here is an out of the box review of the scope you are looking at: Vortex PST 1-4 first impressions.... (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=75735)

It is my Target / Shit hits the fan rifle... I like the Variable power of the scope but I also like the fast acquisition of EOtech... I have been thinking about this for quite a while now and I still cant finalize my decision...

There are several recent or fairly recent threads directly related to the PST 1-4. I have a review from a month or two back that also gets into some comparisons to a Micro RD (for my uses and eyesight).

The orange search button at the Top of the screen with "Vortex PST" as the search item will produce four or five results.
