I would like to buy only one powder for my 30-06 Springfield, 303 British, and 8mm Mauser, as well as any other milsurps I pick up along the...

    Rifle Scopes vortex pst ffp

    Re: vortex pst ffp Oh noes! A 2 week wait? Here in Canada it's more like 2 months! And as far as a discount is concerned; good luck! These scopes sell at lightning speed and you want a discount for a 2 week wait? Sorry but dealers are not usually that acommodating.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Optics? Viper PST?

    Re: Vortex Optics? Viper PST? I highly recommend the PST if you want an FFP mil/mil scope with a good looking, illuminated reticle. The glass is good, the turrets click nicely and are very easy to read on the outsde, and there is good eye relief. If you do go this route (or any for that...

    Re: Vortex PST Turret Tracking Issue... Obviously you cannot track a square in a circular scope tube; however, the errector tube (on the Premier) is not inside a tube, it is indeed a square: The space that holds the reticle is bulged out to make a square, which explains why we can track a...

    Re: Vortex PST Turret Tracking Issue... Well I think it's safe to say there are a few lessons learned here (for me at least): 1) Vortex's customer support is seccond to none. 2) Map out your scope's turrets capabilities, regardless of brandname. 3) Vortex products are in high demand and...
