I am looking for a used but fully functional long range rifle scope for a PRS type rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Vortex Viper PST, Burris XTR II, Vortex Razor Gen 1, older/cheaper Nightforce. Thanks
 
Vortex, are good scopes, however do not torque the rings past 17 Inch pounds, or the aluminum they are cut from will most likely bend or distort the scope. Know a friend whose dealer, mounted his scope, and torqued the rings to 25 inch pounds, bent the scope and factory declined the warranty. Then the factory told him the above specifications that they approved of, not what the dealer installed them at... Remember free is not a free service at all sometimes...

simply a suggestion to strongly consider...

That doesn't say much for Vortex scopes. I've shot rifles that 17lbs would have the scope shifting all over the place.
