Jason,
The 6-24 FFP mil is .04mils and the 4-16 is .06. I would have done the 4-16 also ,but I don't currently have access to one.

Scott,
The pictures look great.
The manual on the Vortex website lists the subtensions for the 2.5-10x44 as .04 mil and the 4-16x50 SFP as .03 mil. Are these numbers still accurate? I really like having the finer crosshairs on the 4-16x50 SFP model. Also, I would assume the crosshairs are the same thickness on the MOA models?

Thanks,
Brett

Scott,

When you redo your box test, it would be good to see some baseline groups so we can see how much of that variation is "normal".

I would expect to see much better box results at 100 yds. than shown, if the rifle/shooter combo were consistently shooting 1/4" groups. But if the groups looked like that without dialing, a different story.

Thanks again for all this feedback before the scopes are even on the streets!

According to the website and Sams posts, the 4-16 EBR1 is .06 mil and the 6-24 is .04 mil. This has me leaning toward the 6-24 for that reason alone. I would prefer the 4-16 with a .04 mil reticle.

The turrets are rock solid as far as sturdiness is concerned. The clicks are very distinct and audible.

can you estimate/best guess the range of those pics? ie, how far away is that rooftop?

Thanks
Patrick

ps really eying these for a new build I have in my head. </div></div>The roof top is about 300yds and the house is just shy of 800yds.

Any guesstimate as to when you might be able to post through-the-scope pictures of the 4-16 FFP MRAD? </div></div>I am hoping to get to it soon ,but I just don't have access to one right now.

Assuming that's a 3'0"x3'0" window, looks like about 500-550 yds to the house. Now, if it's a 4'0"x4'0", that would put it in the 650-700 yd range.

Do you *know* the distance for sure and are my milling skills off that far?

Re: Box testing a Viper PST 6-24 SFP

no rumor, i just looked at the reticle pictures!! I realize its just pictures and they dont always give a good representation of the glass so i asked. Look at the sky inside the scope and outside the scope and you'll see it.

I think what you must be seeing is that the scope is focused on the building, so the tree in the background is not in focus and the blur from the branches is blending in with the sky and giving it an unnatural color.

I have looked through every single PST prototype we have and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the glass. It is very clear and color neutral.

John </div></div>You sir are correct. I thought I took the pic of the house to the right of there which is "just shy of 800yds". The actual house that is in the pic ranges a tad under 700yds.




Chiller,
The PST's will handle the big 50 with no problems.

i wasn't sure if that was chromatic aberration or what. Anyway, thanks for following up Scott. I'm looking forward to seeing the PSTs!!
