Info

Turret RotationVortex Viper PST riflescopes incorporate Vortex’s patentedRadius Bar to visually assist inkeeping track of turret rotations.The radius bar provides a quickvisual reference that allows theshooter to confirm:• Knob orientation is correctand has not shifted as a result ofaccidental contact.Radius Bar• Knob orientation is at the zero point when using the CRSfeature.• By watching the position of the bar while making elevationadjustments, the shooter is able to quickly track full, half andquarter rotations.To get these benefits from the Radius Bar, the “0” markon the turret must be indexed with the zero reference lineon turret post. See the section on Setting the CRS Stop andIndexing Elevation Knob.Illumination AdjustmentsThe Vortex Viper PST riflescopes use a variable intensityreticle illuminationsystem to aid in lowlight performance.To activate theillumination, rotatethe adjustment knobin either direction.The illuminationknob allows for 10levels of brightnessMagViewIlluminationKnobintensity; an off click between each level allows the shooterto turn the illumination off and return to a favored intensitylevel with just one click. The top five settings (6, 7, 8, 9 and10) are visible in the daytime, depending on the backgroundcolor. Settings below 6 are for low light use when the user’seyes have adjusted to lower light levels. Lowest settings arefor use with night vision devices.Replacing the Illumination BatteryBattery Cap1. Unscrew the outer cap with a coin.2. Remove the battery.3. Replace with a new CR2032 battery.10 11
Riflescope MountingTo get the best performance from your Vortex Viper PSTriflescope, propermounting is essential.Although not difficult,the correct steps mustbe followed. If you areunsure of your abilities,it would be best touse the services of aqualified gunsmith.Centering of the ReticleThe Vortex Viper PST riflescope is pre-set from the factorywith the reticle in the center of the adjustment ranges.If you have changed the settings and wish to approximatelyreset the reticle to the center, this can be done easily:1. Turn the windage or elevation dial as far as possible in eitherdirection. Do not force the dial. As soon as any any resistance is felt,stop turning.2. Carefully count the dial rotations while turning the dial backin the opposite direction. Stop turning as soon as resistance is felt.Rings and BasesMount an appropriate base and matching rings to your rifleaccording to the manufacturer’s instructions. The VortexViper PST riflescopes require 30mm rings.Vortex Optics highly recommends using the Vortex OpticsPrecision Matched 30mm ring sets which may be purchasedfrom an authorized Vortex riflescope dealer. These ringswill mount to any Picatinny spec base.Note: If shooting at distances in excess of 800 yards with 4–16x50 or6–24x50 models, Vortex Optics recommends use of a 20 MOA cantedPicatinny rail or 30mm rings with adjustable offsets. These can bepurchased through companies such as Badger Ordnance, Barrett Mfg.,EGW, Burris, and others.If using an aftermarket base and ring setup, use the lowestring height that will provide complete clearance of scope andrifle—avoiding any contact with barrel, receiver, bolt handleor any other part of the rifle. A low mounting will helpassure proper cheek weld, aid in establishing a solid shootingposition, and promote fast target acquisition.3. Turn the dial the other direction to half the amount ofrotations counted in step one.Complete this procedure for both windage and elevationdials to approximately center the reticle.12 13
