EBR-1 MOA (Minute of Angle) SUBTENSIONS  |      
VIPER PST 4-16X50 DIMENSION  |      
The Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) riflescope boasts features associated with top-tier riflescopes, yet comes in at a street price under the $1,000 mark. Matching reticle and turret measurements allow accurate, fast dialing of shots. The one-piece 30mm tube, precision-machined from a single solid block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, offers ample windage and elevation adjustment. Born from an intimate understanding of riflescope design, forward-thinking engineering, and open ears to a market incredibly vocal about what it wants in a riflescope, the Viper PST series delivers the performance and features tactical shooters demand at an economical price.
OPTICAL FEATURES  |      |
First Focal Plane  |        Subtensions remain consistent throughout the magnification range.  |      
Optically Indexed Lenses  |        Delivers optimum image sharpness and brightness with true reticle use for full ranging and holdover from edge to edge because of computer-controlled alignment during construction.  |      
XD Lens Elements  |        Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass enhances resolution, color, and contrast.  |      
XR Lens Coatings  |        Vortex XR proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings increase light transmission with multiple coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.  |      
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES  |      |
30 mm Tube  |        Provides greater strength and wider adjustment lattitude as compared to a 1-inch tube.  |      
One-Piece Tube  |        Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and waterproofness.  |      
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum  |        Construction from a solid block of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum delivers increased strength and rigidity.  |      
Waterproof  |        O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube for reliable performance in all environments.  |      
Fogproof  |        Filled with argon gas to inhibit internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.  |      
Shockproof  |        Lenses are locked in place, fore and aft, with machined locking rings to remain in perfect alignment and resist impact.  |      
Hard Anodized Finish  |        Type-3 hard-coat anodization is durable; the low-glare matte helps camouflage the shooter�s position.  |      
ArmorTek  |        Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating repels oils and corrosive salts on outer glass surfaces.  |      
INTERNAL MECHANISM DESIGN FEATURES  |      |
CRS Zero Stop  |        Customizable Rotational Stop (CRS) prevents dialing more than one rotation below your zero so you don't lose the zero when dialing large amounts of elevation corrections. Patent pending.  |      
Tall Uncapped Turrets  |        Make range calculation and shooting adjustments fast and accurate with subtension marks that match the reticle  |      
Single Spring Construction  |        Fully constrains (without over-constraining) the optical system for predictable, improved accuracy throughout the range of elevation adjustment.  |      
Glass-etched Reticle  |        Protected between two layers of glass (not made from wire) for optimum durability and reliability.  |      
Illuminated Reticle  |        Electronic illumination aids in low light visibility of reticle. Daylight visible. battery included.  |      
Illumination Control  |        Can be turned on or off with a single click between each intensity level�allowing access to a preferred illumination setting without having to progress through each intensity level. Positioned at the left side of the eyepiece.  |      
CONVENIENCE FEATURES  |      |
MagView Bar  |        Combines a fiber optics magnification indicator with raised rear-facing magnification references for clear viewing in low light conditions. Patent pending.  |      
Radius Bar  |        Fiber optic turret rotation indicator provides illuminated and tactile point of reference for turret rotations. Patent pending.  |      
Fast Focus Eyepiece  |        Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.  |      
Side Parallax  |        Uses an adjustment mechanism on the left side of the riflescope to fine-tune focus to eliminate parallax shooting error.  |
