Viper PST 1-6 Gen 2, replacing the Razor HD 2?

Is it just me, or does the Gen 2 PST 1-6 look exactly like the Razor HD 2 1-6, but black?  Anyone out there with any experience on the new Gen 2 PST?

 

Will the PST2 have a generous eyebox, super clear glass, very bright illumination and HUGE FOV like it's more expensive and FDE / burnt bronze cousin?

I just put an order in for the Gen2 viper on opticsplanet. It says estimated 5-7 weeks shipping so we'll see when it gets here.... From what I heard and watched videos, the viper is really effective for the money, but still lacks a bit when compared to the Razor. It fit my budget, so that's what I went with.

It's not replacing the Razor.  An option with lighter weight and less cost than the Razor but better overall performance than the Strike Eagle.

 

 

 

It looks like it will be an excellent scope but don't look for the Razor to be going away.   IMHO the JM-1 reticle alone is worth a few shekels more than the MRAD or MOA reticles in a 1-6x scope.  More lines and holding points gets quite cluttered quickly.

It's not replacing it but it's in the price range of a lot more people then the Razor.

Therefore it will probably be more popular. It's the middle of the road and it seems like that's where most people live (myself included).

I have a custom bolt gun that I went all out on and it wears a 4.5X27 gen II but only reason I got that scope was the Stupid cheap price I got on it.

Oops, I started a similar thread asking about this same scope yesterday. For some reason this didn't come up when I searched. I can't wait to hear from some people once they get their hands on one.

Sorry for the dupe.
