Featuring a 6-24x50mm configuration, it delivers a broad range of magnification suited for long-range shots without compromising on image sharpness.

The exposed turrets allow for quick and easy adjustments in the field, letting you zero in with confidence. Built ruggedly, it holds up well under intense conditions, thanks to its shockproof and waterproof design. The Viper PST Gen I is an ideal scope for those who want performance without adding excessive weight to their setup.
Nightforce Competition

Weighing just 27.8 ounces, it is 24% lighter than the 12-42 x 56 Benchrest scope, enhancing maneuverability without sacrificing performance. This scope features a side parallax adjustment turret for precise focus from 25 yards to infinity, essential for minimizing optical distortion. Hi-Speed windage and elevation adjustments of .125 MOA come standard with ZeroStop, providing positive and repeatable adjustments over a lifetime of use. The non-illuminated DDR-2 reticle offers maximum precision for competitive shooters, making this scope an ideal choice for serious target applications.
