[QUOTE="Bluejay, post: 1244983, member: 88736"] I am in the same boat, looking at Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP Mil vs. Sightron SIII 6-24x50 FFP Mil. The Pro's on the Vortex, to me, are : - Illuminated reticle - EBR-2C reticle, which I like very much - Slightly advantage in price tag - Zero stop feature Pro's on the Sightron : - "known" to have a better glass - More Elevation travel (23,5 vs. 19) - Slightly shorter Now, I must say I do not have any experience at all with Sightron, although I keep hearing of how good their glass is, but I do own a Viper PST 4-16x50 since a few years now. Things I do not like about my PST 4-16x50 scope are : - Glass quality is not that good, I must say. No problems in bright daylight, but if the weather gets a bit foggy I can't see very well (Image quality unclear and dark). - Turret "sharpness" : No complaint on their functioning (always spot on), but their edge makes them easy to catch on something and thus turn a few clicks...(mostly the windage knob) - Parallax knob : at times it seems it ìs not working, as image focus hardly change (it does, but not much noticeable) and additionally it is very stiff to operate (not smooth as it should). All in all I am happy with the scope and I am sure the 6-24x50 would work good. I am just wondering whether I should go with the Sightron instead.... What say you ? :D Thanks for your input.
