[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1344022, member: 90453"] I have shot the gen 2 pst, ffp. I have also shot the exact same shv. Neither were in my rifles, the pst was actually on a .22 lr. I was not overly impressed with the shv. I can't remember the rifle it was on but for $1000 I was not impressed with the clarity or the feel of the shv. The gen 2 pst is a great improvement over the previous so I would claim it to be a pretty good value on a scope that works. 14x will get you to 1000. I routinely shoot to 850 and have gone out to 1200 with a swfa and a vortex hs-t that max out at 15-16x. I have noticed to get decent clarity during bad mirage on high magnification you need pretty good (expensive) glass to help cut through it. Shooting steel of various shapes (24"x24" at 1200 is the biggest) I rarely wish I had more magnification. Shooting paper I would like more, especially at 300. I usually shoot 3/4" or 1" dots at 300 and they can be tough to see some days. At 600 and 1000 the target changes and is easier for me to see. Also, when the wind is being tricky I will take just about anything that helps see better or makes things look bigger. [/QUOTE]
