You still get what you pay for with the Viper PST's, and then features that are only available on $1500-and-up optics normally, for under $1000. The 2.5-10x44 is very affordable at under $600, and is a great scope. Additionally, you could use the 2.5-10x44 on a .260 Rem or other caliber than packs more powder and can reach 1000yds consistently within 1-1.5 MOA in wind conditions. Once you start passing 1000yds, you might want to consider other optics, but very, very few long-range shooters and hunters actually break the 1k distance on a regular basis with any degree of skill. Most shooting is done from 400yds to maybe 700yds, which is Grendel and .308 territory.
