I don't have an ACOG to compare to, but the Viper PST Gen 2 seems pretty decent. I haven't played with it much, but it's got some heft to it and the magnification ring is a little tight to turn.

I personally like the red dot magnifier combo better.  Just picked up a eotech 5x. 

Then again I'm more of a collector not active combat....

Acog - Pros (I have a TA-31)
Built like a tank tough
Small and compact
FOV @ 100 yds is phenomenal

Acog - Cons
Ridiculously close/unforgiving eye relief
Cost for x4 sight

Viper - Pros
Decent glass
Fairly forgiving eye relief

Viper - Cons
Size and weight
Smaller FOV @ 100 yds compared to ACOG

No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Similar perspective/experience. 

I own Viper PST 4-16 and I think it's a great optic for the money.

I've shot with ACOG and I don't like the fixed 4x (at least of the versions I typically had access to), but I probably didn't give it a fair shake.  I considered a Viper PST Gen 2 1-6 when I started down the LPVO path, but I quickly ended up sliding down the slippy slope into the Razor and higher range.
