[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 547383, member: 10"] Denny & Matt, I have so far been impressed with the Vortex PST. I have to keep my opinion in perspective however. If your comparing the Vortex PST to other scopes in the $600-$900 range, you will be quite impressed. They have alot of very good features for a scope in this price range ($850 retail is what I paid). If you set one up next to a NF NXS or the top end Vortex Razor, you will notice that there is a difference in optical clarity and mirage does seem to show up a bit more on the PST image then the upper level optics. Still, it was no problem at all to shoot at +1000 yards and engage very small targets with very good quality target hold. The FFP scope is my preferred scope. The EBR reticle is a huge bonus. I prefer the Mil Rad reticle because it has more reference line numbers along the vertical stadia so if you hold over for long range shooting, its very fast and its very hard to hold on the wrong line with these numbered lines. The PST has a decent adjustment range for the money. Smooth adjustments controls, very positive turret adjustments and good paralax adjustment. They are also quite light for this size of a scope making them a good choice for a light to medium weight rifle that will be used for long range shooting. So far they seem to track very consistantly. My only real question is their durability over long term use but we will find that out. Combining the 300 Raptor with the Painkiller muzzle brake will be a serious test for any scope so if it will handle the stresses of this combo, it will likely handle pretty much anything concerning conventionally sized chamberings. Again, for the money you will be hard pressed to find a better scope and to get a scope with noticably better image quality, you will need to double your investment cost. [/QUOTE]
