Any way to still get in on this initial order, or is everything you have on order going to go to preorders?

Any way to still get in on this initial order, or is everything you have on order going to go to preorders?

Unless someone backs out and you happen to be in the right place at the right time, good luck. I preordered two back in late January and didn't make the first batch. The initial shipment is very small and most vendors have only been able to fill their backorders through December with the initial batch. Several vendors over on the Hide were contacting those on their pre-order lists and if people had changed their mind they were then asking the next person down on the pre-order list.

A second, larger batch is on the way per Vortex and they hope to fill up the supply chain and have them in the hands of their dealers by mid to late July.

I'm a bit disappointed that I'm going to have a rifle sitting without a scope for yet another month but I'm also looking forward to hearing test reports from the initial batch to know if I should stick by my PST pre-orders or purchase "plan B" instead. With all the buzz and anticipation about these scopes over the last 7-8 months Vortex has set themselves up for either a large amount of new sales or a huge amount of cancellations based on customer feedback and initial reports from this small first batch.

This is our first attempt at this, so there's always a good chance of technical difficulties. If you are a victim of any unforeseen technical difficulties we apologize in advance. Our site does not work well with older web browsers (especially Internet Explorer). We recommend downloading (for free) FIREFOX or upgrading (for free) to the latest version of INTERNET EXPLORER.

Because of the nature of shipping and product release we've had very little time to announce this with specificity. Any help in getting the word out online to any friends or acquaintances that might be interested would be greatly appreciated. Who knows, they may win something because of you...

Go to riflescopes, then to Vortex, then to Viper PST. Prices are listed.

Gotta admit, posting a URL to someone else's website is a little weak.

With that being said, you could list a price (CS).

Edit- Unless thats not allowed per Vortex.

Mike, When I posted, I didn't pay attention to your first post. When I read the posts asking the prices on the scopes, I remembered seeing the prices elsewhere. I was only trying to be helpful, my intent was not to be disrespectful and didn't realize it until it was pointed out. I edited my original post to refer to your store.

Good luck with the sales of the Viper PST's. I hope they are as good as we are expecting.

[CSTactical]
