If you need a good long range scope, but don’t want to spend over $1,000, you’ve probably looked at the Vortex Viper PST. It’s one of the best options at the price range and it comes with Vortex’s famous warranty. You can find a PST online for around $999. But, Midway USA has the Viper PST Gen 2 for only $650.

The Viper PST Gen II’s price and parallax and elevation adjustment make it an excellent option for a precision .22 or air rifle. You’ll get the EBR-2D reticle in this particular scope that’s on sale. It’s a Christmas tree reticle that has all the adjustments you need to holdover a .22 lr from 50 to 200+ yards. There’s 9 mils over holdover in the reticle and you need about about 6.6 mils to hit steel at 200. With dialing you can easily hit 300 yards — especially if you have a canted base on your rifle.
