Anything better than PST Gen2 2-10x32 for under $1k?

I’m close to buying this scope for a shorty 308. It want It to be capable of close up shooting, say a running deer at 25 yards but also able to drop it onto a tripod or bipod for a 600 yard shot. Pretty typical 308 bolt action stuff.
Requirements: Under $1k used, MAGNIFICATION - min 2.5X and 8X or higher. Mil/Mil. SFP is ok, FFP a plus if the reticle works well at all magnifications. Prefer a shorter scope, doesnt have to be compact, but I don’t want a 14-15” long scope.

1-8X or 1-10X would be ideal, but the prices for these are much higher for what you get and performance is a huge compromise. Seems the 1-6X scopes are better performers. I think a 2-10 would be a better fit than 1-6X but you could maybe change my mind. I can shoot 2x with both eyes open on moving targets just not as well as with 1X.

I’ve been researching:
PST Gen2 2-10x32
PST Gen1 2.5-10x44
Credo 2-10x36
Credo 1-8
Credo 2.5-15 (have this, like it, but 13.9”, only 2.5X and SFP)
PA GLX 1-8
PA GLX 2.5-10
Burris XTR2 1-8
Vudu 1-8
SwampFox 2-12 Kentucky

I‘m looking for advice and opinions based from people who have used these scopes and can speak to how they compare to each other. I believe the Vortex PST checks all the boxes, but am concerned with some disappointing reviews I’ve read. They could be from glass snobs, but I also had the Vortex Razor HD LH 2-10 a couple years ago and it was mediocre compared to Trijicon and Burris scopes I Have.

The true purpose of gun registration, crystal clear. California man raided for trying to register rifle.

CALIFORNIA:

A man builds a perfectly legal, California compliant lower receiver and buffer assembly for a rifle. The moment he thought he was going to "do the right thing", "obey the law", and filed paperwork to register the receiver, his house was raided by 6+ police with a search warrant.

This is what "gun registration" was designed to achieve.

This is what gun control looks like: Drug addicts and mental cases assaulting and murdering people on the streets, trashing stores, stealing cars and catalytic converters in broad daylight with impunity, while half of the town's police force goes to serve a warrant on some guy trying to abide by the law and register a rifle.

Firearms TacOps Rifles For Sale: 338LM, 308 (SPF), 6.5CM (SPF)

Fellow Hiders! Like many of you, I'm a small business owner and it's time for me to free up a little capital by rightsize my safe a bit. I only get to shoot once or twice a month so I'm letting these beauties go, though I intend to keep one as no safe is complete without a Tac Ops. I am one of MikeR's biggest fans, and he builds incredible rifles. Mike's exacting standard for accuracy is why his rifles command the premiums they do.

Two of these rifles are unfired by me: the Tac70 338LM and the Delta 51 in 6.5CM. I acquired both during the pandemic and my attention was obviously focused on more pressing matters.

Tac70_1.jpg

Tac70_2.jpg


1. Tac-70 338LM Surgeon action, DBM, 2nd owner, minty rifle, 0 rounds from me, and a cast chambering to showing minimal chamber wear - $8500 + shipping

Echo51_1.jpg

Echo51_2.jpg

2. Echo 51 308 - My workhorse 1000-1200 rounds, normal wear for that round count - SPF to Bakwa

Tango51_1.jpg



Tango51_2.jpg
3. Tango 51 308 - Low round count 200-300, clean rifle and an elegant classic - off-market pending sales

Delta5165_1.jpg


Delta5165_2.jpg
4. Delta 51 Surgeon action, DBM in 6.5CM - SPF to Wm17

These shouldn't sit in my safe anymore and want at least two of them to find new homes. I'll entertain reasonable offers but no lowballs please. I have many more pics and will send those for serious inquiries. Scopes/bipods/suppressors not included, but will discuss those options with the buyers. Thanks for looking and feel free to text or DM for questions. 317-727-6472

My .308s at 300 yards

Well this section of the forums is as good as any because I will be eventually shooting both bolt and semi.

When I go to the range I like to have a “reason” and sometimes “just because it’s the range” is not enough.

My “reason” will be to shoot my .308s at 300 yards and see how they do.

Conditions will vary and it will probably take a year or more as infrequently as I shoot.

I will try to use same target if I have enough of them.

First shot cold bore.

Scope adjustments on second shot only and than shoot the 18 where they fall with no further adjustment and same point of aim.

Because my town is retarded I’ll start with this seen on my way to the range.
