Description
Second Focal Plane Reticles
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 appearance.
For PST models using second focal plane reticles the listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover, and wind drift correction are only correct at the highest magnification.
The Subtension Scale: MOA
MOA Adjustments
A minute of angle will subtend 1.05 inches at a distance of 100 yards. Viper PST riflescopes with MOA adjustments use 1⁄4 minute clicks which subtend .26 inches at 100 yards / 7.3 mm at 100 meters, .52 inches at 200 yards / 14.6 mm at 200 meters, .78 inches at 300 yards / 21.8 at 300 meters, etc.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments
Vortex Viper PST riflescopes incorporate precision finger adjustable elevation and windage dials with audible clicks.
To make adjustments:
1. Turn the adjustment knob in the appropriate direction: Up/Down or Left/Right as indicated by the arrows.
2. Following the directional arrows, turn the knobs in the direction you wish the bullet’s point-of-impact to go to.
EXAMPLE:
MOA Adjustments
With each click of the Viper PST moving the point-of-impact 1/4 MOA, four clicks of the knob will move a bullet’s point-of-impact 1.05 inches at a 100 yard sight-in distance. At 100 meters, four clicks will more the point of impact 29.1 mm.
RZR Zero Stop
Vortex Viper PST riflescopes incorporate the RZR Zero Stop feature. After the rifle is sighted in, the RZR Zero Stop allows fast, sure return to the original zero point when large multi-revolution elevation corrections have been dialed into the riflescope.
Without a zero stop, the shooter must pay very careful attention when dialing large corrections needing multiple revolutions of the elevation knob. If the shooter loses track of the number of revolutions, the original zero point may become lost. Because of the RZR Zero Stop, the elevation knob on Vortex Viper PST scopes can be quickly spun back to the original zero without having to carefully count revolutions.
Once the RZR Zero Stop is set, the elevation knob will stop turning at the original zero point when being returned from a temporary elevation correction.
