[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 2138650, member: 97905"] No pressure signs at all, 61 was the top of my ladder test and just happened to be a node, never went higher and don't feel the need to with the way it's shooting. Of course I have to say, just because mine doesn't have pressure has no bearing on yours, work up your load for your components and chamber, of course. One thing I forgot to list when I went from SIII to SV I also got FFP, nice for when someone is helping you call out how many mils off you were, but otherwise my SFP SIII was fine (note SIIIs can also come in FFP, I just didn't). Anyways, on sub $1k scopes, Sightron SIII LOL! They're usually about $800, sometimes you can find a sale. I believe the Viper PST would be under $1k, and would be a bit more of an improvement over the Viper, glass wise. If you were willing to go just a touch higher there are quite a few good options I think. A scope that I hear good things about over and over again is the Athlon Ares ETR. It's 4.5-30x, 34mm tube, ED glass, FFP, it's been out long enough that tracking has been thoroughly vetted (always a concern with Chinese scopes), has 32 mil of elevation adjustment, runs about $1200 any day, sometimes you can find an open box one for like $1100. Doug at cameraland might be able to do a better deal than $1200 if you call him. If I didn't come across this Sightron that Athlon would have been what I went with. Burris XTR II series also has some in that range I think. [/QUOTE]
