Some of you guys have had your PSTs for some time now. I would be interested to hear how they are holding up in terms of durability. Not looking for another review. Several members have provided those already. Just curious if you are sill happy with your purchase? If you have had to send it back to Vortex for some reason or another? And, if everything is still functioning as advertised. The fetures and the above average glass have me considering one of these. I guess in a nutshell what I am looking for some reason not to buy one... Thanks guys.

Have not had to send mine back. I would spend the $$ there all over again.

Re: PST owners
Have/had 3 of them, two 6-24 and one 4-16. I sold the 4-16 because I preferred the 6-24. My first 6-24 went back for specs on the glass and a parallax adjustment; the 4-16 had the once over because the previous owner had loosened the objective ring and the focus was out of whack. Of course the Vortex CS was outstanding. My second 6-24 seems GTG so far.,
The first 6-24 has been through a few matches, one drop, lives on a 7mm mag and has performed perfectly.

Mine has been functioning flawlessly since day one.

Re: PST owners
I put mine on my 338LM, I sold it but not for a reason of not being happy with it. It held zero and tracked just fine for the time I had it, which wasn't long but I figure it's worth the post to say I think it's a great scope for the price point.

Re: PST owners
We have 2 of them (4x16x50) and used them on our long range pistols for the 1000 yard plate matches all summer. Had to return them shortly after getting them, both for dust particles and one also had it's reticle rotate slightly. Could of been due to being on the 260 pistols (XP-100) and possibly a different type of recoil but they always tracked perfect and returned exactly where they should at a match.
Only thing I would of liked different is a thinner crosshair since it nearly will cover up an 8" target at 1000 yards.
We'd get them again, good value for the money we think.

Re: PST owners
I have a 1-4x24.
Seems ok. I'm not going to rave about it because I have not had it long enough to warrant any useful claims.
I have already run into a few complications with the illumination. On some occasions it turns off and on with slight vibrations.
The scope itself is made in the Philippines which as we all know is not the same as Japan or the USA. I do not know if the other models are made there, but the 1-4x24 is.
So far I rate the scope as a plus. I hope it last for a very long time.

Re: PST owners
The rubber on mine is flacking bad. Gets black specs on the glass.
I requested a new rubber piece from Vortex, but they never sent it.
They said there were going so send me a new one, but it's been 4 months now.

Re: PST owners
I have a 4-16 and it trakes perfectly.
Lost the brass shims for the zero stop.
Called Vortex to <span style="font-weight: bold">buy </span>some, and they said they would send me some at no charge.
That is great CS !

Re: PST owners
My illumination isn't working right. Even when off, it continues to drain the battery. I've talked to Vortex and have no doubt they'll make it right. I just haven't sent it in yet.

Most assuredly once Scott of some other Vortex employee see's your post you will be shipped one pronto. Probably just an oversight; it happens.

Re: PST owners
I was one of the lucky few to get one of the first batch. I recieved my scope on 7-1-10, have used it as much as I could since then, but not as much as I would have liked to. Flawless performance, and still one of my favorite scopes. Almost bought a second one, until I saw the new SS, which now sits in my cave awaiting a rifle to be mounted on.

Re: PST owners
I'm still as happy today with my 6-24 as the day I bought it. I've had it about 7-8 months and fire around 500 rounds with it. I love it.

Re: PST owners
Bought mine on the Hide and arrived broken. Called CS and they said send it in. A brand new one was on my porch in exactly one week! Now have about 400 rounds down the pipe and it is well worth the money. Bought a Crossfire for my 10/22 and it is bright and clear.
I'm getting a new stick and it is going to wear a Razor. I'm sold on Vortex.

Re: PST owners
I'm hoping to score a 2.5-10 mil/mil for my AR15 used but almost never see one.

Re: PST owners
Thanks guys. Sounds like their customer service is excellent. I will get grabbing one up here soon. Hopefully I will find a used 4-16 here on the hide.
