[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1151623, member: 39764"] Thats a crapshoot... The PA scopes are Objective adjustable parallelax, not side mount and the 'glass' isn't as good (supposedly) either. I run a Viper PST myself but I do have a Diamondback 4-16 side focus on a 308 and I'm happy with that. There is an observable difference in clarity between the PST and the Diamondback but I went with the latter for weight. The latter has a 1" maintube and weighs 10 ounces less. I'm into weight myself. Having said that, next time, I'll take a hard look at a Zeiss with custom turrets. I see Vortex is having quality issues (as has been discussed on this forum) with their Razor line of spotters, which incidentially are made in China of all places....eeek... The scopes are made in the Phillippines (Vipers and Diamondback) and the lesser ones are made in China as far as I can determine. Vortex makes nothing here (Wisconsin), just an importer of foreign products. While I haven't had an issue with the scopes (shoot the box fine), I'm disapointed with the Spotters. [/QUOTE]
