[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 577885, member: 8833"] I have had a chance to be behind both the HS and the PST. Clarity and tracking were identical IMO. There is some variation on the MOA come up between the two but I saw no problems with either. Unless you are hung up on an illuminated reticle I see no reason to go with the PST for almost twice the price. In fact for me I have no desire for an illuminated reticle - One: I have enough problems in the cold in the back country trying to keep batteries going on a range finder, camera, head lamp, flashlights etc. and don't need any more problems (When do batteries go dead?). TWO: In some States an illuminated reticle is illegal - for some some reason I thought our sister State of Wyo. was as such. One of you knowledgeable Wy. guys set me straight please. THREE: I much prefer the physical size of the HS versus the PST. I don't think that much of trying to put a PST in a rifle scabbard on a horse/mule and see if my electronic lighter upper works after 20+ miles. I do not own either one of these scopes but did help a couple young guys just starting out in the LR game get their rifles/scopes up and useable. Bottom line - Both are good scopes IMO. Get what fits your needs and never look back. I was impressed enough with the HS that if I needed a scope I would have no problem going with one of these. [/QUOTE]
