I was looking at one of those 5-25 until a local guy showed me how great his was. The objective fell off while he was shooting it

I have never owned one of the Falcons, but have shot with one.
I have heard very mixed reviews on them, but if you get one that functions properly, there seem to be a decent amount of features for the money.
However, in my opinion, the glass is nowhere close, and the fit/finish and quality level is even further behind.
That is what has impressed me so much about the PST's. They didnt just pack all the features that the $2K+ optics have into a $850 scope. They did all that, while still maintaining a very high overall quality.
I think a lot of the guys who bash them, (at least the fair minded types, and there are more here than I think most guys give credit for) will change their opinions once they spend some time shooting one.
You cant blame the guys who have had to drop $2500 to get a scope that will do what they need. It just seems illogical that someone can bring a scope to market for $850 that simply doesnt give up much to the big boys.
I mean, these are still $850 scopes, and especially if lives depend on it, it is not easy to trust.
They will never be $2500 S&B's, but they will deliver nearly the same performance for guys who have a tough time dropping nearly 3K on glass. It opens up a whole lots of options.
That is why I think Vortex has done more for this community than any other optics mfg since they came on the scene.
