[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1205412, member: 33822"] I used to own a 4-16x50 PST. For the price you are paying it is an excellent value considering all of the features you get. Great tracking, great reticle options, all around a nice package. I was really happy with my scope until I compared the glass side by side to a higher end scope. At least to my eyes the Viper PST glass has some shortcomings, especially at max magnification. That's not to say it won't get the job done. I've shot a lot of elk with the PST and it never let me down and I never felt like I needed more scope But comparing the glass next to a VX6 3-18x50 (or any other higher end scope), the VX6 has hands down better glass. And although the VX6 is a bit more expensive, they are not too far apart. On the SFP/FFP deal, wildcater has it right... point of impact at the crosshair center stays the same regardless of zoom on a SFP. The MOA reticle spacing is calibrated at 16x with the SFP PST. At 8x the MOA scale doubles and at 4x the MOA spacing quadruples. On FFP, the reticle decreases in size with decreasing power levels, so the MOA spacing is true to an MOA scale at any power level.
