[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 356530, member: 4191"] I've got two of these Sightron SIII scopes. This is a second focal plane (SFP) scope and the dots cover 4 times as much area at 6X as they will at 24X power. I have no problems with the size if the dots at 24X, which is what I use on long range shots. The Sightron SIII glass is better than the Vortex Viper glass according to one retailer that hunts and uses scopes and has compared both scopes. The Vortex PSTs are not yet available for comparison so I don't see how anyone could comment on the quality of the glass in the Vortex FFP or SFP PSTs. However it has been confirmed that the glass and coatings in the Vortex PSTs is the same Japanese glass and coatings as in the Vortex Vipers. However the Vortex PST optical design is different than the Vortex Viper, so the quality of the field of view, resolution & light transmission may differ from the Vipers due to the different optical design of the Vortex PSTs. If the Vortex PST resolution & light transmission are as good as the Sightron SIII, then I'll be trying one of the PSTs. If not, I'll stick with the SIIIs myself, until something equally light weight and in the same quality of glass comes along with better reticle options. [/QUOTE]
