Looking for a new scope and have narrowed it down to these two.
FFP
3-15
Mil/Mil
Thoughts?
Thanks

This summation is spot on IMHO, except that I think the parallax on the PST was quite good.Both are good scopes.
The glass will likely be a touch better in the PST.
The XTR II will likely be more robust.
Elevation and windage adjustments are nicer on the PST.
Illumination, parallax and ocular adjustments are nicer on the XTR II.
Thanks, good information indeed. I will be handling a Burris this evening.
Also hoping for a Father’s Day sale!
Looked at both of these in Bass Pro the other day. Only had a few minutes with both scopes, but my initial impressions were that the glass was pretty equal, but the turrets on the XTR were much better. PST felt kinda mushy to me. XTR felt really great, definitely felt more positive distinction between every click.
Funny you should say that. I've heard a lot of people say they felt the Vortex has better glass. I've had both my 4-20 H591's alongside a couple PST's (both were 5-25) and it was pretty much a dead heat. And we spent some time between several people looking at a couple different objects.
But I do recognize that in the past there has been some variance in glass quality in some of the Burris. Some people have said they have great glass, and others felt it wasn't so hot. I suspect both optics have very useable, functional glass, and the difference between them won't buy you a hit
