[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1054054, member: 24952"] To make a "fair" comparison I´ll take the Viper PST 6-24X50 FFP marked @ $950 and the Leupold VX-3 6.5-20X50 marked @ $899-$999 (street price, not MSRP) depending on color and reticle. I´ll make a list on the features that vortex has over the VX-3 4:1 zoom ratio vs 3:1 FFP reticle Mil or MOA based reticle with numbers in it and matching turrets. Illuminated reticle (I don´t use it, but it´s there) Uncapped turrets Zero Stop In my experience better tracking In my experience better construction (0 out of 9 Vipers had to be sent back for warranty 2 out of 10 Leupolds had to be sent back) maybe I had bad luck and I speak for myself here. I find the ergonomics on the PST´s more user friendly, turrets and magnification are far more readable. Please enlighten me with what features other than the following does the VX-3 has over or on par with a PST maybe I´m missing something there. 1.- "Better optical quality" little ambiguous depending on the user 2.- Little lighter 3.- Some more elevation adjustment [/QUOTE]
