Trijicon has "brighter" glass but the zero stop, reticle, and mil/mil are winners for the pst.

Enough to be noticeable. My buddy has the trijicon and I have a 6-24 pst. I would buy the Vortex again in a heartbeat. My buddy is fairly happy with the trijicon, but the mildot reticle is too thick for prairie dogs and other small varmints.

6-24 PST in a hearbeat...the Trijicon's are great optics, but mil/moa and SFP, for the price, are not practical features as compared to their competitors' scopes in the same class. It's my opinion that the glass quality and brightness, alone, do not put them at the PST's level. Let's be honest, the glass clarity/quality in the PST is also good.

ETA - in this price range, I would not neglect the SWFA SSHD's, either. USed SSHD's are not that far off in their pricing.

Good choice. I have been very happy with my 6-24 pst. I plan on getting another when they're back in stock somewhere.

I have the 6x24 & the 4x16 PST.
Both with Nightforce 20 MOA base & rings.
For the past year and a half they've been very solid platforms for me.
I think you'll be very pleased with your new scope.
Just remember to turn off the reticle light after use...
It sucks to want to use it and not be able to.

It's a shame that Trijicon went the SFP and mil/MOA route with the 5-20. The optics and build quality are very good, but I sold mine over the SFP and mil/MOA.

I have the PST 6-24 FFP mil/mil mounted on my Savage 10BA-LE. I used the DNZ freedom reaper tactical 20moa 1 piece mount. It is made specifically for the Savage round receivers, fits like a glove and has a low profile. Got it from SWFA as it was less than from the DNZ website. About $105 as I recall. You have to dig on the DNZ products website to find the right part number as it was not clear on the SWFA website... I think I got the medium height model ( am at my mom's and can't check right now...). I like the mount a lot and it was a good value compared to some...

So far the reviews all seem really good on the PST. I have one coming from Cameraland in 6-24 MRAD. Can't wait to mount it up!
