    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST Gen II

    Does anyone know what the Gen2 2-10x32 is shipping with from the factory? I received one today from a vendor and the tape seal was broken and it was obviously removed as well as some of the items inside had been removed and repacked. I thought it came with lens caps at least...

    Rifle Scopes 2-10x Scope. your favorite?

    this is a fairly accurate 16" 5.56, I shoot it mostly out to 400yds but 600 isn't out of the question. it has a SWFA 3-15x42 SFP on it now but no lume...

    Rifle Scopes 2-10x Scope. your favorite?

    yeah, I thought about that but I don't like their reticle choices. this is to go on a 16" AR with match barrel in the DMR-style. It's used mainly around 400yds. I would be happy with a simple illuminated mildot, which they don't offer in that scope.

    I agree with you on that. I had a Vortex PST 2.5-10 and it was practically unusable in bright daylight at the bottom end...

    Rifle Scopes 2-10x Scope. your favorite?

    I'm looking for a 2-10x with illumination. I have been considering the PSTII 2-10x32 or Burris XTRii 2-10x42. anyone have a preference for one or the other and/or am I missing another good option?

    Rifle Scopes Help a new guy out on Rings/Mounts

    yeah, those are nice but I don't really have that much money for this. I have a Bobro single-lever with a SS1-6 in it. I don't know if it would handle the weight of the 2.5-15x50 scope on a .308 but if I was confident it would work I'd swap that out and look at something lighter for the 1-6 on...

    Rifle Scopes Help a new guy out on Rings/Mounts

    thanks for the reply. I'm actually looking for a solution for a 308 gas gun. I'm not going to be moving the scope around to different guns but I do have folding back-up sights. the mount doesn't have to be QD but I do lean toward a 1-piece mount. any suggestions?..

    Rifle Scopes Help a new guy out on Rings/Mounts

    thank you. yes, I'm thinking of an AR. I've got a lightweight 16" 5.56 with a SS1-6 mounted in a Bobro single lever mount and backup iron sights. it's been pretty accurate out to about 400yds using 77gr SMK but I want to stretch that a little. I'm looking of a solution for a .308 gas gun. I...

    Rifle Scopes Help a new guy out on Rings/Mounts

    OP, since you seem to have a solution, do you mind if I piggy back here a bit?.. in this case rings seem to be the way to go. in which case would a one-piece mount be a better solution? (I know better than to ask about QD)...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares BTR 4.5x27x50

    you want my shipping address? to send me a PST?.. :rolleyes: all seriousness aside, the PSTGen II possibly could have had the better turrets. and if I was forced to choose I would say it probably did have "better" glass. but neither stood out enough to be noteworthy, it was just a feeling I...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares BTR 4.5x27x50

    yeah but I didn't note that one was better than the other. again, just quick peak in the parking lot at a building on the other side of 500 yards but I think it might have been something that stood out. one thing I do notice is the windage turret is better than elevation. that one is about...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares BTR 4.5x27x50

    I have the 2.5-15x50 and I initially compared it to Vortex PST GenII 3-15 SFP. I had just a few minutes to compare them, handheld, in the parking lot of the dealer but I came away thinking if I had to pick which one had the better glass, I believe the PST did. however, in FFP, it was also $250...
