[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1078747, member: 13831"] You would save a chunk of money going with SFP. Also, you could save some money by going with the HS-T version....which eliminates the illuminated reticle. Just a couple of thoughts for you....as the HS-T has the same optics and zero stop capability as the PST. Also, what magnification level is a personal choice. I like having the extra top end...if nothing else...for spotting. But I do use mag. levels above 16X when long range varmint hunting....small varmints...so I picked the 6-24X. It gives up little on the bottom end but the extra 8x on the top end is helpful to me, YMMV. Below are examples of potential savings....with scopes that have the same magnifications and lens sizing along with Milrad ( apples to apples comparison): Here's an open box unit...HS-T 6-24X, SFP with Milrad reticle and turrets for $500: [url=http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexviperhs-t6-24x50]Vortex - Camera Land NY[/url] And here's an open box PST 6-24X, SFP with Milrad set up for $629: [url=http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/vortex.pl?page=vortexviperhs-t6-24x50]Vortex - Camera Land NY[/url] I scored an open box PST 6-24x FFP, Milrad a few months back and it was $700....just so you can get a sense of pricing. I've enjoyed several open box units from CameraLand over the past several years....you can save a chunk of change on units that look untouched. Excellent people to purchase optics from.
