[buckshotbarlow]

Well, i'm happy with my first, so i bought the next model up:

got the moa and 30$ off...with my dnz mount it came just under 800$

[Musashi]

So have you shot it? What do you think as I am looking at the PST series also for my latest build.
Did you get the MOA model or the MOAR reticle?
Inquiring minds want to know

Inquiring minds want to knowI really like my 4-16x PST. Its the Mil/Mil. I like the reticle a lot and its a great scope for the money.

[Musashi]

Good to hear as I am looking for an optic to reach out to 500 yards max or so even though where I shoot has only 100 and 200 yard ranges.
Hopefully someone will have them for sale soon. Cabelas and Optics Planet all want 900

[Delfuego]

There are 2 models of each, a Second Focal Plane and a First Focal. The SFP are $100 cheaper than the FFP's. I really like FFP, and the 4-16x is ample magnification to 500y. But if you got the cash the 6-24x FFP is fantastic; and nobody can touch Vortex's warranty.

That being said I would always recommend trying to get behind one in person before you buy!

[Musashi]

Yup agreed fondling them at the store does not count!
Time to go shopping and make the wife unit even happier

I am absolutely happy with my SFP Viper PST 4-16, it's been great so far and the glass is of a quality typically found in much higher priced scopes. I can't quite get used to FFP scopes and if I'm using it for anything along the lines of where the FFP is handy, I've got it turned all the way up anyway, so I saved the extra $$ and went to the SFP version in the EBR-1 Mrad. I'm very happy with it and plan to put another just like it or the 6-24 on a dedicated Varmint upper I've got in the works as well as thier 2-10 on another upper of mine. They are great scopes.

[sako55]

got the 4-16 and 6-24 in moa and ffp. love them both and the price is right

[drift_g35]

It may be just because I'm a newb with optics, but does anyone else notice adjustments are backwards? I had Jim Erwin (delta force sniper) help teach me how to zero mine and even he thought the adjustments were a little weird. I do love it though. I have the 2.5-10.

Ok, called opticsplanet and swapped out for a sightron s3 6-24 for 10$ more...

[DocMedic]

no experience with Sightron, hopefully it's a decent scope.

[buckshotbarlow]

my 10-40x s3 is money well spent. I love the damn thing on my 300wm. I can pick a pdog's whiskers out at 600 yds. Dispatching him, however is a little more difficult.

[SideShow Bob]

damn thing hasn't shipped yet...OpticsPlanet...WTF???

Took them a week and a half to ship mine, and 4 days to arrive. Got it on Friday just before the long weekend...
The finish is starting to wear from all the fondling....... Now I need to choose amount.......

[buckshotbarlow]

so i got my 6-24x, very happy with it. Tracks very well, and returns to zero every time...another good scope!
