Refurbished Vortex optics now available at A&A Optics.

[Jump62]

My new so called refurbished Viper PST 2.5-10X44 EBR arrived in beautiful Fenwick Island 10 min ago. First thing I looked for was the " refurbished " part and I just can not find it, the box looked a little old but that's it. Guys jump on this if you can you will not regret it. My big problem now is does the sight go on the PTR-91F or the AR-10.... the loser gets a Viper HS LR.
Thanks Alan.

The blem on mine was a small nick in the finish on the underside of the turret housing that had been touched up with a dot of black paint. Can't even see it when mounted and does not affect functionality.

I have pulled about 10, and on 1 of them, the illumination cap was to tight, besides that, I found a dot on one (might have been VUPD's) in the same spot Nick describes. Some of the box's look very bad, but I cant see that affecting anyone's decision.

It was the on one I was going to get, but the illumination cap was screwed on with an impact and red lock tite.

Got mine today. Mine had a dot in the same location as VUPDblue describes. Other than that it look like new, even the box looked new. Here's a pic of the dot, that's all I could fine.

Got mine yesterday, has the same marking. Wonder if it's a way to mark the refurbished optics.

Other than that that it looks brand new. Great deal, thanks again Alan. Hope to get to the range this weekend and sight it in.

 

[42769vette]

Still have plenty left for folks looking.

If I had

Emailed you Alan. Don't really need anything just don't want to let something too good pass me by

Do you have any recommendations for something in the Viper line to go on an AR10? I'm kind of looking for a do it all scope, but I know that is asking the impossible.

Since it's an AR, I am wanting something I can dial down so it's not over power for work at closer ranges, but still has the ability to dial the magnification up for extended shoots. I'm currently limited to 450 yards, but would like the ability to stretch it out farther.

Also, now that 308 is legal to hunt with on private property, I'd like to be able to take my AR10 with me. So I'd probably be using hold overs in this circumstance.

I have been considering a 2.5-10 of some variety. But I'm worried that the 32mm objective wont let enough light in and the FFP reticle being hard to see at low power. On the flip side, I've read that the glass on the 44mm models isn't as nice.
I was out of town and missed the Black Friday sale.

IDK, I'm open to suggestions. Would a 4-16 be better, or maybe even the 6.5-20.

I do know that I do not need exposed turrets or illumination and I'm on the fence with FFP or SFP.

If you go the refurbish route, it will be exposed turrets, and illumination. They dont refurbish capped turret, non illuminated scopes. It will also be FFP becuase of current availability. I dont expect another shipment of these until late summer.

The only reason to be on the fence between FFP, and SFP is budget. FFP is better at everything. On lower power settings the reticle is small enough its hard to use holdovers, but its no where near to small to pick up. Not being able to use your holdovers is kind of a mute point on a 308. By the time your shooting long enough range to use holdovers, you will typically be on a little higher zoom.


What is the closest range you intend to shoot it? On the zoom range I tend to lean towards the 2.5-10x32 for a "do all" type rifle, but if you wont be shooting south of 50 then the 4-16 will work just fine, and it transmit's more light by a small amount. It also gives you a larger reticle on low zoom. I will say, they 2.5-10x32 will extend your shooting to well beyond legal shooting hours.

The Refurb's did not go on sale for BF/Cyber Monday. They are so cheap that putting them on sale would not convince many more buyers. They are cheap enough that either you want it, or you dont.

I wanted it and I got it! The my first FFP scope, WOW! Looks like new. Friend is getting his 400 yd range setup, so can't wait until I see how my 308 does with this scope.

 

[VUPDblue]

I could use a friend with a 400 yard range...

 

[BOVindy]

Just wanted to say thanks Alan. I was emailing you about my first optics purchase and you helped me out. The gf def loves it, all we have to do is get out to the range with it.

Also the price was another great thing about it, so thanks again.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Any of these still available? Santa needs to fill his own stocking. What would be options for a 300Blk build?

I still have some left. For the Blackout, The remaining options would be PST 1-4, or PST 2.5-10x32 FFP. You also might look into the clearance Viper HSLR 2.5-10x32 FFP. If you PM me, or email me at alan@aaoptics.com I can get into pricing.
