M1A National Match Scope vortex vs Primary Arms

[NY700]

Ok guys I have a M1A NM that is surprisingly accurate. I’m not shooting comps it’s basically just a really fun range gun.

Want to throw a scope on it. Want something in that 5x range. Been looking at either the vortex pst II 2-10x or the primary arms. Glx 2.5-10x.

I have a 50% off vortex certificate which puts them at the same price. Anyone with hands on experience of both; any general recommendations?

The M1A is hard on scopes.... To oversimplify the mechanics.... A scope on a bolt gun takes the shock (recoil) in one direction. The scope on an M1A takes the shock (recoil) in two directions.... Best to consult with the scope manufacturer's and let them know the weapon you will be mounting it on.
