What do you guys recommend for a low power variable optics for an AR?
Vortex PST2 is probably the best for the money, basically the gateway to high end features like daylight bright illumination and a big field of view. Looking through mine at 1x with both eyes open it's very close to a red dot in clarity, speed and lack of distortion. At 6x it's clean, bright and clear enough I can see holes in targets at 100+ yards. At any magnification it's just a big clean image with a thin fuzzy black ring around it.
Most every scope below the PST2, the clarity decreases, the size of the "black ring" around the image gets thicker, and things like adjustment clicks feel cheaper. Go above the PST2 and everything that makes it awesome gets even better, might even get higher magnification, a brighter image or something special like FFP or a more compact size without loosing image quality.
I'm a Vortex fan, the Strike Eagle, PST2 and Razor 2/3 all represent a great scope that competes well with anything in it's price range.
I’ve been doing my research on these viper pst gen 2 1-6’s myself.
It appears that most say you get 80-90% of the razor 1-6 in the viper 1-6 for half the cost.
I’m looking for the best deal at this point. 600 is about the cheapest I can find it for.

Amazon has them for $550.
