[QUOTE="rca81, post: 963851, member: 53822"] I have a budget of $1,000 and I have narrowed my scope choices down to the Viper PST line. I've done some forum searches but still have a few questions I was hoping you could help answer. 1)Magnification: I plan to hunt and shoot long range with this scope. I've read that the glass on the 4-16 is not nearly as clear as the glass on the 6-24 scope. Is 6x going to be too much on the low end for hunting big game? Is the extra $50 worth 8x the magnification, especially if the glass is better? 2)Illuminated reticle: Does it matter much? Does it make the PST line worth it over the HS LR models? 3) FFP vs SFP: I understand how it works at different magnification levels, thicker vs thinner reticle etc. However is it worth $200 if I won't use it for ranging? It would matter though if I were to use the hash marks for holdovers correct? If FFP is really nice why are many of the Nightforce NXS scopes SFP? 4) EBR1 vs EBR2 reticle: Is there any advantage to one over the other? Thanks [/QUOTE]
