[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 927697, member: 33822"] +1 to what Brentc says. The lighter weight of the Mark 4, depending on how you use your rifle, can be a huge factor in making a decision. and another +1 for Bruce_Ventura's post. From my own experience I have used the Mark 4 4.5-14x50, Viper PST 4-16x50 and the NF ATACR. Based on my own eyes, the Mark 4 has better glass than the PST, where the PST eye box at 16x gets finicky. Lower power settings the PST is great. From a mechanical standpoint, I like the turrets/clicks of the PST over the Mark 4, they feel more crisp/solid, but that is subjective and my Mark 4 tracks just as accurately. I have not had any durability issues with any of these scopes and I have used them all backpack hunting where they get bumped around quite a bit. The ATACR has the best glass, but is so dang heavy. The MOA reticle on the PST, in my opinion, is much better than anything that Leupold offers, as I am an MOA guy. All of my Leupold's just have simple duplex reticles. So compared to a PST, overall I think the Mark 4 is a better scope, but you also pay more for it. I am going to be looking for a new scope within the next year and I want to see the HSV and see how it compares to the NXS and ATACR. It's going to have a great blend of features and a handful of ounces lighter than the NXS. Hoping to read some more HSV review in the near future too. [/QUOTE]
