[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1803211, member: 112192"] Welcome to the forum! My favorite Vortex (budget friendly-ish) is easily the Viper Gen 2 PST 3-15x44. The only downside with it vs the HS LR is it's a couple hundred bucks more expensive, and maybe 7-8 oz heavier. It's also first focal plain compared to the second focal plane HS LR ... I'll only buy FFP but that's a personal choice. I also love the EBR-2C reticle on the PST, you get the BDC for easy holdovers but you can always choose to dial your dope if that's what you prefer. BDC reticles have a lot of practical use once you learn them and could possibly make the difference in getting a shot off in time before your game walks out of view vs dialing in the dope. EDIT: when i say BDC I mean MOA / MIL hashed "Christmas tree" style reticles. Not the type of BDC that is claimed to match certain ammo / velocities like a lot of the Primary Arms reticles ... nothing inherently wrong with those but I'm not a fan personally. [/QUOTE]
