[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 781442, member: 2112"] The Viper PST is a great scope with alot of good features. It will not treat anyone wrong for sure. BUT, it really depends on what you want out of your scope. Of the scopes mentioned so far that are being asked about, IMO the Zeiss wins the clarity and brightness and edge to edge contest hands down. The PST and Nikon Monarch are very comparable optically as both have a glare issue if you know what to look for. I have not been able to resolve test sheets any better with the PST than I could with the Monarch, both did very well though. I am not a Leupold fan. I think they bank on the name they earned years and years ago and charge way to much for the product you get. In tests I have done they have not scored anything better than a mid line scope at best. I have owned 2 of them and both have been back to them for repairs so not impressed that way either and both have been sold. For in the $1000 range, my choices would be #1 Trijicon 5-20 x50, #2 Zeiss Conquest 6-24 x50 with Kenton industry turrets. BTW, the Conquest line is now the mid level Zeiss scope and the entry level scope is the Zeiss Terra 3X. [/QUOTE]
