[QUOTE="joseph, post: 454096, member: 19151"] Hi lefty glad you are interested in the PST. Can I ask you what you do with the wind? You said that you range then dial your turret and shoot? #1. The hash marks on the reticle really do not get in your way. Once you use the scope a few times or even after an hour shooting you will begin to like them when you see the things you can do with them. #2. My PST is a FFP which means the reticle is on the first lens so when the power is increased the reticle enlarges the same amount as the target. Deer, paper or what ever. When I first mounted the scope on my rifle I then bore sighted it at a business card 50 yds. away. To hold the card in the lawn I pushed a wire "from" a twist tie through the top & bottom of the card and then pushed the wire end into the dirt. I adjusted the power to 24x. When I looked at the card I immediately saw that even though the reticle looked large I was still able to hold the center cross hair on the pin hole made by the twist tie wire. This is possible because the target enlarged in the same proportion as the reticle. When you reduce the power your target gets smaller in proportion with the reticle and will look very fine especially the first time you see it. This happened to me and I was very worried about being able to see it at the lowest power while hunting. Now that I have gotten used to it I really like it. At dusk or dawn I turn the illumination on and at the lowest power it is easier to see than at high power. Let me say this. You will love a FFP scope and the PST has all the parts (reticle+clicks+turret) that compliment each other. #3. The tracking on my scope seems to be extremely repeatable. In short this scope will make you a better shot. It certainly made me a much better shot. Hope I have cleared up some of your questions, joseph [/QUOTE]
