I am thinkning very seriously about one of these for my Stealth 16" upper. Is anyone using one of these on their AR platform? If so what has been your experience so far? Any pics of this scope on an AR would also be appreciated. I cant find many legit looking reviews on this scope.
 
Re: Viper PST 2.5-10X

I'm running the mil/mil 2.5-10x44 PST on a custom build SPR (still a work in progress). The optic is light, but it's durable and rugged. The glass is amazingly clear and very bright. The 44mm objective was a great decision by Vortex. The adjustments are accurate and the turrets are fantastic as well. My only beef is that the eye box is a bit "picky", and it's not the most forgiving at top magnification. You do need to adjust your cheek weld slightly forward when going to top magnification, but it's just a slight bit forward.
Overall, for a $599 scope, I really don't see it having an equal in that price range. It's better than a Leupold Mark4 IMO. The only way I think I could get a better scope would be to step up to a $1500 NightForce NXS Compact 2.5-10x32.

It's my understanding that there is a 3-4 month wait on these scopes. It's one reason I went with a IOR 2.5x10-42mm. I really wish there wasn't such a long wait for them. I have wanted to try the PSTs for a while now.
