[QUOTE="Jumpalot, post: 1778837, member: 4867"] I'm looking at getting a new scope for a build I'm doing. Need some thoughts on Sig Whiskey5 3-15, Sig Tango4 4-16, Vortex PST GEN2 3-15 and Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 2.5-15. Main concerns are turrets and low light performance. Any other suggestions are welcome. Build will be pretty lightweight and relatively cheap as I'm basically just putting a new barrel and stock on an existing a 6.5x284. Will be used to pack around on day hunts and kill everything up to elk. I'm not sold on the Whiskey5 as it has a covered windage turret, but it has numbers on it in case I decide to remove cap and then dial windage, which I prefer. Tango4 ticks most of the boxes for me, but not sure reticle will be visible enough at lowest power, and I can't find any info on turret repeatability. PST Gen2 seems to be my best bet, but haven't heard any real long term reports on turrets. I already have three Gen 1's and haven't had any issues with them. Ares Gen2 has same concern about reticle on lowest power. Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
