The Vortex Viper PST Gen II combines premium XD glass, effective XR lens coatings, and near-bulletproof durability to give you the ultimate advantage in short- and long-range targeting. XD glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. XR full multi-coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. And the ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects all exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. Factor in the VMR-2 MRAD illuminated reticle with 10 brightness levels, and you have all the makings of top-class glass. More on the VMR-2 MRAD reticle Designed to maximize long distance shooting and ranging abilities, the VMR-2 MRAD reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage corrections and moving target leads. The VMR-2 MRAD reticle is a second focal plane reticle. Second focal plane (SFP) reticles are located near the scope's eyepiece behind the image erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle does not visually change in size when you change the magnification. The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same ideally-sized appearance.
