Rifle Scopes Bushnell elite tactical 6-24x50 illum. VS Vortex?

[B.B.A.]

Must buy a new scope for my sako quad. Anyone know anything about the bushnell elite tactical 6-24x50 illuminated mil dot? I've also read about Vortex viper pst 6-24x50. What do you guys think, wich scope is better? This is my varmint rifle and will also be used in low light conditions

I'd choose the PST because of the reticle choices and warranty. I got bored with standard mildots like on the Bushnell. I have the 3-12x44 Bushnell. It's OK but has a tight eyebox.

Ok, but how is the PST working in poor low light conditions?

I can't say for sure but if I were to guess they are probably very close in comparison for low light situations since they have the same 50mm objective combined with competing glass and build quality.

If needed all you have to do is dial the mag down some to suite the conditions.Both scopes will appear brighter because of the larger exit pupil.
