So i am buying a 338 lapua RPR. I am looking to buy a scope for it to start out with. I am looking to spend about $1,000.00 on a scope and mounts. So what would you buy?
Vortex Viper PST Gen-II 5-25x50 $900 with Vortex Tactical (Low Profile) Riflescope Rings $38 Vortex Flip up Dust covers $20ea.
That adds up to $998 and it will be a scope you can use elsewhere in a few years should you out grow it.
Good luck!
Ive had my eye on this one. It is one of my top picks.
I doubt low rings will work. I have to run high rings on my 5-25. The RPR has a continuous rail. Rings need to be high enough to get the objective bell to clear the rail.Vortex Viper PST Gen-II 5-25x50 $900 with Vortex Tactical (Low Profile) Riflescope Rings
This is my RPR, gen 1 in .308 with a Vortex Viper PST gen 1, 6-24x50 FFP MOA. The pics were taken last October in southern Virginia while shooting out to 1000 yards with Dan Newberry at bangsteel. I paid $649 for the scope. It’s plenty of scope. You may be able to still find the gen 1 PST out there for well under $1000. Check Euro Optic, they seem to still be able to get the gen 1 PST’s from time to time.
The tiny white dot in the second pic is the 1000 yard target.

Has anyone tried the swfa ss scopes?
Ths is my same setup and I absolutely love it. Bought it to do just what you’re doing in these pics, just haven’t been able to stretch it out like that just yet. Hopefully taking long range class this spring/summer. Good to know this rig works like that, this is why I went with it.
