Rifle Scopes falcon or vortex ?

[black_ump]

well i need a 5.5-25 and its down to the viper pst or falcon and i would like your opinion

i enjoy the lit cross hairs as i could have used that coon hunting a few times... but i enjoy the falcons price and i think the falcon is fairly rugged.

can any one with either of these chime in ?

I have a Vortex 6-24x50mm PST in MOA and a Custom Turret By Vortex. Look here for a right up and some pics:

Since PST's are unobtanium right now you'll be settling on a Falcon unless you can wait.

Re: falcon or vortex ?

They were originally on track for release sooner, however Vortex did the stand-up thing and when some issues they weren't happy with arose with the initial production run, they pushed back delivery until late this year or first of next. They promise to be excellent scopes with features unobtainable on similarly priced scopes currently on the market. They will likely be worth the wait...but it'll be a few months (give or take) until they become available.

The problem being that a whole flock of little birdies are telling different people different things.... or nothing at all
