To get the best performance from your Vortex Viper PST riflescope,
proper mounting is
essential. Although not
difficult, the correct
steps must be followed.
If you are unsure of your
abilities, it would be best
to use the services of a
qualified gunsmith.
Centering of the Reticle
Rings and Bases
Mount an appropriate base and matching rings to your rifle according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. The Vortex Viper PST riflescopes
require 30 mm rings.
• Turn the windage or elevation dial as far as possible in either
direction. Do not force the dial. As soon as any resistance is felt, stop
turning.
• Carefully count the dial rotations while turning the dial back in the
opposite direction. Stop turning as soon as resistance is felt.
• Turn the dial the other direction to half the amount of rotations
counted in step one.
If you wish to re-center the reticle to the center, this can be done easily:
Complete this procedure for both windage and elevation dials to
approximately center the reticle.
Battery Cap
The Vortex Viper PST riflescopes
use a variable intensity reticle
illumination system to aid in low
light performance. To activate the
illumination, rotate the adjustment
knob in either direction.
Illumination Adjustments
The illumination knob allows for 10 levels of brightness intensity; an off
click between each level allows the shooter to turn the illumination off and
return to a favored intensity level with just one click.
1. Unscrew the outer cap with a coin.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Replace with a new CR2032 battery.
4. Re-install the outer battery cap and
be sure to fully tighten it down.
