[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 2841474, member: 20646"] I *just* (sorta) did the same thing for my 7mm Rem mag as well! Next up is the RemAge conversion...... This morning i bought a PST Gen II 5-25 50mm FFP EBR-2C (MOA). Got it the local XXXXXX for $799 which i think is a pretty good deal. I compared it to the Meopta Optika6 4-20 50mm at the store. I ever so slightly preferred the reticle on the Optika at lower magnification, but at even slightly higher magnification the PST's EBR-2C (MOA) reticle came into its own. I must say, despite being a wee bit busy, it is very good but experience will certainly tell all. Otherwise, the glass in the PST had noticeably better acutance and resolution. I wasn't set up to specifically measure the PST's ability to resolve fine details (eg lp/mm), but for my use, i don't believe that's a metric I need to be too terribly concerned with. The color rendition was very nice on both - neither overly saturated nor 'cool'. After I bought it I moved my car to a less-populated area in the parking lot and took a view of the US Air Force Academy here in Colorado Springs. All i can say is WOW!!! Admittedly, i had nearly ideal conditions..... With beautiful clear, blue skies and the sun at my back I was able to make out an exceptional level of detail and clarity of 'Old Glory' flapping in the wind on the main campus at the Academy (don't know how far it was, but certainly several miles). It was a challenge to hold the bare scope steady in my hands resting on the hood of my car, but regardless, I am thoroughly pleased with it. Only time, crappy weather, and low light will provide the information for a final understanding of the scopes strengths and weaknesses, but i am quite hopeful. After work and getting home, i put it on my rifle to see how well it sits, its heft (it is a bit hefty at 31oz), balance, etc. My set up is overall heavy especially when humping that brick up and down the mountains, but i'm excited to see how well it does - will DEFINITELY be upping/re-starting my fitness regimen!
