[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 640348, member: 39764"] I might add that on the lower tier Vortex scopes, the reticle is conventional like Leupold (fine wire sandwiched between glass), but on the upper tier (PST and above), the reticle is etched into the glass, no wires. That process I find to be interesting. Something I'd like to actually witness first hand. I do know that the reticle is very crisp (if thats the correct term) on the PST I have and the illumination is very precise across the entire etched surface. I have a couple lower cost illuminated sights I use in indoor handgun comp and the illumination at higher levels appears to be fuzzy, I don't use it but's less than ideal (if I did). I also like the raised graduations on the magnification bar that face you. With the Leupy's you have to memorize. Not with the Vortex. Too bad it has a lame name.....:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
