Hi All,
I've got a SCAR 16S that I really like, and I want to put a 1-4 scope on it. I'm still looking at the ACOGs too. But everytime I'm thinking I like em, the price tag scares me away. For scopes I've been looking at the following:
-Viper PST 1-4
-Burris XTR 1-4
-Trijicon Accupoint 1-4
The Burris seems allright. TheAccupoint is good but I kinda get the fish eye thing. and I'm starting to really get up in the higher (for me) prices. I like the reticle of the PST and some things that I hear but nobody has one locally for me to look through. Any help is great.

I have. I don't think they are even available yet. Speaking of which, I'm not sure how available the Viper PST is. I'm not a fan of first focal plane scopes.

The XTR 1-4 is a good optic. Very durable. Also, it is a true 1 power optic.

You might also look into the new Fullfield 1-4. It is also illuminated.

I have the AccuPoint 1-4x24 , green triangle. I've been favorably impressed, especially at 1x. Quite quick in my experience - very good box at 1x - although the box tightens up noticeably at 4x. And yesterday , I ordered the SWFA SS 1-4 (capped / mil donut). It seems to be an extremely well thought out design and if executed as well as it appears to have been designed - should be an excellent value.

The Trijicon 1-4 is among the best, very good optic.
The PSTs have been out for a very short time and I hear good and "not great" things. I see many for sale as "slightly used", that is a concern. It might be a great deal, it might be someone else's problem. I ain't buying one for now. I have no experience with the Burris. If you spent the money on a SCAR, don't skimp on the optic. The new SS1-4 is just out, should be fantastic (I ran the prototype pretty hard, great scope, the production should be better, I'll have a thorough review up soon.) Aside from the SS1-4X, look at the Nightforce 1-4, very good scopes. I also hear great things about the S&B 1.1-4's, but haven't used one yet. And theya are $2K+. The Trijicon is safe, the SS is a great scope at a great price, the PST is a gamble but you might get lucky - and you might not. I'd get the SS1-4. SWFA backs their gear.

I would narrow it down to the SS 1-4 and the Trijicon, with the glass and reliablity of the SS i may have to give it the nod just because. They built them like tanks for a reason and the illumination while is battery dependent, was very well thought out |

On a few forums around. Again, I haven't touched one, I haven't seen one in person, I have zero first-hand experience with the PST. I'll try to get my hands on one shortly and run a side-by-side.
