Comparing Vortex to Zeiss is not fair. Zeiss glass is as good as it gets. The Razor has good glass but not comparable to Zeiss.
Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 or Razor Gen 1?

Bwhitty, I don't have the Zeiss but I started out with two Viper PST scopes and thought they were very clear. I then put a Schmidt & Bender PMII on my newest rifle and it was a lot brighter and more much more clear. Don't get me wrong the Viper PST are still good and that is why I have a gen II on order but the difference between them and the S&B is significant. I would imagine similar results when comparing the Zeiss to the Viper PST.
Thanks JW. I'm going to keep mine on order. There are a lot of features on this new PST Gen 2 that I wish the Zeiss's had.

My Gen II Vortex is here in 34 mm but I am still waiting for my 33 Nosler rifle to mount it on!

With the updated 2-4 month wait for the Viper PST Gen II I ended up switching my order up and have a Burris XTR II 4-20x50mm with Horus 59 reticle coming instead. I was able to get a great deal on it and it wasn't much more than the price of the PST Gen II.

I'm going to be getting a razor gen 1 to replace my vortex viper, as I can get the razor for a very good price, and weight is not a concern on the rifle it's going on. The gen II PST would have been my choice, but I think the razor will have better glass and the extra adjustment is nice.
