I like the price point and the extra mag on the second one. Can anyone speak to the actual differences of the 3 models of viper glass i.e. viper, viper hs, viper pst? I've read the discriptions but it all just sounds like marketing speak. Are the "plain" vipers "shock proof". I won't be skull dragging for 3 miles with this rifle but I would like to know that if this thing was dropped or knocked against a tree, that it won't self-destruct because I was too cheap to spend and extra $100.
I was all in on the Mark AR but talked further to a buddy with an R15 with the Nikon equivalent and he said the BDC might be difficult and irritating to translate to 6.5G. Is it January yet? I can't wait to build this thing.
