What a great review experience I just had watching this. You really spoke to me without talking to me (yes, that makes sense?) and I really appreciate that. Well done, It's in the mail now.

[@ryanpeck3377]

80% of the Razor for 50% of the price...My Illumination is tight, none of that wobble..overall I'm very happy with mine. On 1x there is slight magnification at objects close,under 3yards or less but not really noticeable. Only other downside is weight. But its built like a tank, definitely "duty grade" and will stand up to abuse (plus vortex warranty if something does happen). Throw lever is a must, but you can find decent plastic ones for $20ish (I have an Anarchy Outdoors one that's solid) For the price it can't be beat and I agree. If you are looking at Strike Eagle/Primary Arms and can hold off and save a little more this definitely worth the extra price

[@CDOES]

👍 Excellent to know I wasn't the only one with such a experience

[@TheSonsOfSimon]

Great advice. Thanks

I just bought this optic after your review. Your “pew pew” when clearing had me rolling on the floor laughing. Very informative and comical. Loved your review. Love the optic itself too. Very crisp and clear glass. Can’t imagine anything better without breaking the $1,000 mark on a razor. Would rather them give us a throw lever than the sun shade.

[@tierneymarshall5960]

I’d love so see a side by side view(split screen) of this vs strike eagle 1-6 vs razor HD 1-6 at those longer ranges! Great review!

[@CDOES]

Thank you for the kind words mate!

[@andyprice4696]

Vortex just did an update of the strike eagle to include a bdc reticle similar to the acss. I asked vortex when they were going to include the new reticle in the viper and the response was “not anytime in the near future” after seeing how positive this scope was in tracking, I will just make my own custom turret cap tuned to my chosen load. This really does look to be 70-80% as good as the razor for half the price.

[@CDOES]

It really is that good. The only limit to ones capabilities is their imagination. Making a custom dial card would be trick if need be.

[@TacticalLeo]

Hey bud I just wanna say thank you for this video. Because of you I ended up being this exact scope yesterday! Only thing is I forgot to pick up a throw lever and now I’m feeling the pain... It’s manageable but if I need to zoom closer or farther away in quick succession, it ain’t happening lol.

[@CDOES]

That is a easy fix! MK Machining has a variety of throw levers. I reviewed their $20 one not to long ago. I have a Pro in the mail for my PST II 3-15 as we speak!

I was torn between this one, the Razor HD, or the Delta Stryker HD (because of your review). I ended up getting the Viper PST, hopefully Vortex and other companies will start sending you scopes for free because of all the great reviews/videos, and positive comments. Thanks again, keep it up.

[@CDOES]

Thanks mate!

[@andyprice4696]

Went to cabelas today and looked at this scope in person. It’s a bit bigger and heavier than I expected but, quality seemed top notch. And the 1x power seemed like a true 1x through my eyes. Glass quality was very nice.

[@UnclePaulHargis]

This is exactly the kind of review I was looking for!! Perfectly done and now I'm sold on this optic.

[@paulyp9853]

First thing is that I want to thank CDoes for all of the great content. He is my first stop when it comes to reviews on optics. I guess the natural comparison is between the Viper and Razor - both Gen 2 1-6x. I have both and the Razor is a better optic. The Viper is very good and will serve you well, but the Razor is a better optic. Eye relief, eye box, and its clearer at the high magnifications. Again not bashing the Viper it’s a great optic, but its not the Razor - no shame in that. It punches above its weight class ---very true, but not the far up. Now if you throw in term “for the money”. That is adding the theory of diminishing returns. We can apply that to anything cant we? When using diminishing returns the cheaper item usually seems the better move. Someone from Vortex said that the Viper is 85% of the Razor for 50% of the money. Brilliant strategy. Why? People who can and want to will pay the premium for that extra 15%, and people who don’t want to or cant feel they are not missing much and spending less. Brilliant. Do you really think someone that gets paid upon company sales is going say anything publicly to hurt either line? Cmon. I have both a T2 and a Romeo 5. The T2 with a mount is between $8-900. The Romeo 5 is $100. Now is the T2 9x better than the Romeo. No its not. Is the Romeo 50% of the T2 for 12% of the cost? Maybe. The Romeo 5 is the better buy by this math. We can do this all day with anything…cars, appliances,….anything.

[@weekendwarrior8334]

Really appreciate all the hard work that goes into these reviews! Vortex is pretty vocal about the fact that the jump from the Viper Gen 2 to the Razor is very small compared to the big jump from the Strike Eagle to the Viper Gen 2. One question I do have? Do you find that the center crosshair is thinner on the Viper Gen 2 compared to the Steiner for a more precise aiming point?

[@CDOES]

Thanks mate! Vortex is a very honest company. They certainly lead by example. To answer your question. The PST II has a thinner crosshair. It makes it great for precise shots. The P4Xi is thicker, but stands out really well. Its quicker to pick up on. Steiner inside 200 on larger targets. Vortex for a more DMR style setup. Both have there rolls to play.

[@weekendwarrior8334]

C_DOES I found the quote a Vortex employee said about the Viper 1-6 compared to the Razor 1-6: “It is 80% of the optic for 50% of the price.” Vortex is truly one of the best companies out there, not just in the optics industry, but any industry. I probably sound like a fanboy and that’s fine by me. I am big fan of any company that provides great products, for good value, with the best customer service.

C_DOES Ive had my heart set on the PST-II for a few months I've been saving... But I got an opportunity to get a Sig Whiskey 1-5x for under 500 new... I pulled the trigger on the Sig. Havnt got it yet. I like the reticle in the Vortex way better, but I hear the glass is better on the Sig. I could send it back which I might. Im going to wait look through it. Either of these is a big purchase for me

[@betternameneeded6475]

I have had a gen 1 Strike Eagle 1-8, a gen 2 Strike Eagle 1-8, and I am waiting on my PST 1-6 to arrive . Vortex is really great at taking the innovations from their top tier optics and scaling it to their lower end. The difference between the gen 1 and 2 SE is pretty crazy. I bet next year at some point they will have a gen 3 PST 1-8 or 1-10 FFP.

[@shane20099]

Do you like your Viper better then your strike eagle?

[@betternameneeded6475]

@@shane20099 I do like it better. The fisheye around the edge is less but still there. The illumination in it really does act like a red dot. The downside of the viper is that its heavy. With my standard vortex mount it is 32oz. The strike eagle with mount weigh an oz less than just the viper itself. If it's just target shooting and having fun the SE is great though. If you can stand the weight I would just get the viper. I found mine with a promo code for $550 and my SE was $400 with a mount. Way bigger than a $150 quality difference

[@jokov9903]

I had a Strike Eagle 1x8. I was chuck hunting the first time wit it.I thought the optics were pretty good. Then I spotted a groundhog with my cabelas Alaskan Guide 10x42 binoculars, they were $500 binos from the bargain cave that I bought for $214. Now I know they were 10 power but, I’m talking glass quality now. When I picked up my rifle to shoot the groundhog and looked through the Stike Eagle...man! Was I bummed, it sucked compared to the binos a lot. I lost interest in them pretty quickly. I now have the Gen11 Viper 1x6. I haven’t used it yet but the glass is night and day difference with the SE.

[@chewbacca5008]

For the money. You really can’t beat the glass clarity. The strike eagles are junk. These really are nice. I have one and an HD. I actually like this a lot.

[@CDOES]

They are a stellar package for the price! Especially used.

[@sethrich5998]

I wouldn’t say the Strike Eagles are junk, I have a gen1 and used it for a while. It does well at its price point. But that’s what it is, a budget optic. If you can afford it I’d definitely say go up to the Viper but if not the Strike Eagles will work just fine. I have a Kahles K16i I run now. I’ll probably get a Viper as a backup, for a quarter of the price it really isn’t that far behind. I think the illumination is actually brighter than the Kahles.

[@Carriesaglock]

I have two PST gen2’s, the 5-25 and the 2-10. The 2-10 has some chromatic aberration but the 5-25 does not. Nevertheless happy with both.

[@MinutemanMedic]

I think you just sold me on buying this scope. I have a SWFA 1-4 and it's a good scope but I'm just not feeling it for my personal use. I realized I don't like exposed turrets for an AR because I keep getting misses from bumping the turrets by accident, and I want a plain MRAD reticle like this Vortex scope has. I guess you live and you learn.

[@Ir0nF1st924]

I do believe you have just sold me on this. The brightness of the dot is amazing (at least through the camera). A simple, uncluttered reticle is king for a CQB to mid range rifle. Edit: The scope just got delivered to me and I am super impressed with it. Turrets are solid, diopter and magnification rings are tight, glass is super clear, and the dot is impressively bright. Just waiting on the MK Machining throw lever and LaRue mount.

[@CDOES]

Thats why I love it. It is a solid combination.

[@mattdee9296]

Lol that walk around, I thought you missed one, but nope, you saved a hostage

[@bryy2053]

Ive got an 11.5 that im trying to settle on an optic for. I like this a lot but im concerned that it might be just a little too chunky and I wish the reticle had a little bit of a "cqb" application. The dot is great overall but im not sure about close quick target acquisition

[@bryy2053]

@Jugg Jugg yeah and the glass seems very clear. Im not a weight fanatic but i am trying to keep the platform light, and since I have astigmatism, each red dot ive looked through is kind of annoying, although I haven't tried an aimpoint or the higher end ones. Its a centurion arms and its amazingly light for what it is, so I just don't what to throw a bunch of weight on it if I can avoid it. I may just have to deal with it because everything is a tradeoff. I also have to figure out a light situation because the rail has QD points up front at the 3 and 9 o'clock, which is where I usually mount lights, so rail space is a slight issue.

[@bryy2053]

@Jugg Jugg do you have one of these? And do you find that your setup is noticeably top-heavy at all?

[@benlastname6667]

I snagged one of these from eurooptic as a demo for $480 in MRAD. I also snagged the vortex throw for 10 less than mrsp from them and a cheap vortex cantilever mount for 100. I was 660 all in for everything. This was roughly January of this year too. When this demo scope arrived I couldn't tell it had ever been opened. They repackaged it that well or didn't open anything but the scope plastic itself. Infact the battery was still in its sealed baggy. I have 2 razor gen II E in 1x6, that said this optic is awesome for someone that doesn't want/need to plop a razor on multiple Ar15s. I wanted one more LPVO mixed in with the rest of my RDS Ar's

[@CDOES]

[@CrackCurtis]

Can't decide between the P4xi and the pst gen 2 1-6....if you had to start from scratch today which would you opt for? and is the weight difference really that noticeable between them

[@CDOES]

5oz is noticeable for sure. Easily carry a few more of your favorite caliber on you without notice. However, for the price that the PST goes for. It really makes the deal that much sweeter. As good as the P4xi is. If its more then $600 or so I think you could better spend your money elsewhere. Like with a PST. 2x more magnification (which is flawless) and similarly bright illumination. Its almost a no brainer.

Great Review. Would love to hear your impressions of the SLX 1-8 FFP ACSS from primary arms if you come across one. I have one and mostly love it. The eye box is a bit finicky though esp at higher magnification.

[@CDOES]

👍 I'd love to get my hands on everything. 1-8's will typically have a tight eyebox at 8x. It's a lot to ask for from a small package.

[@1unkn0wn]

@@CDOES I wonder if it has more to do with the FFP vs SFP design honestly. Even at 5/6x its decently tight. Not bad, just a bit finicky. Both vortex options are known for having forgiving eye boxes from my understanding. Have you found that to be the case?

[@CDOES]

@@1unkn0wn that would be very interesting to test. 2 identical scopes, one ffp one sfp and put them head to head. I would imagine that sfp scopes might be better at higher magnification. But the honest answer is that there are so many variables that determine how well a scope functions.

[@1unkn0wn]

​@@CDOES So many variables indeed. Mrgunsngear compared the primary arms sfp and ffp and found the FFP had better glass. Btw I have now replaced the std American Defense Recon(1.54) with the "H" at 1.92 inches and the eye box problems I was having are gone. I am absolutely loving this optic now. Do you have a business email or something I can contact you on other than YT comments? Id like to talk to you about sending in this optic this winter.

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

I originally had the strike eagle and then ordered this one and after one look through the glass I immediately sold the strike eagle on ebay the same day. It's just no comparison so in my opinion unless you are on a tight budget do not even screw around with the strike eagle. They are ok but in the end... Well you know the rest.

[@CDOES]

Buy once Cry once. But there are times when some cant justify the more then double the price tag jump. However, the PST is more then double the SE when it comes to everything else.

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

@@CDOES I completely agree with you on that. I definitely cannot justify the razor even though I am sure it's superb but man that price point is phenomenal. I love the videos and subscribed a few weeks ago and I trust your opinion above many of larger (sponsored) channels, because you actually let us SEE the optics. Besides a certain amount of bias kicks in when companies are paying/donating to you vs you spending your own dime. Lastly, whenever I hear content providers say they do not "like" giving negative reviews to me that is a red flag for me to not take you seriously. Keep up the great work.
