Rifle Scopes Sig Tango4 or Vortex PST Gen 2?

[Schweich12]

So I need some help buying a new scope. Shooting will primarily be target out to 700yds and maybe occasional hunting, mostly target though. Rifle is a Savage short action in 308 primarily shooting Off the shelf 168gr factory loads. I will eventually upgrade the rifle to maybe a 6.5 cm for longer range shooting so 1000yd+ capability is important for scope choice.

I have narrowed down the choices to the Tango 4 6-24 and the Viper gen 2, both scopes FFP and MRAD reticle. Cost is about the same, $699 and $799 respectively. Any feedback or advise is greatly appreciated.

Also, I’m brand new to the forum so please go easy if I’m breaking any rules!

I had both. I would choose the vortex pst gen 2 5-25.

Was there anything in particular that made the PST stand out in your mind?

I liked the turrets and reticle better on the pst

Tango 4 had a little better glass to my eyes but the turrets were mushy.

Both tracked well. You won’t go wrong with either one.

This should come down to personal preference, cant go wrong with either

My vote would be the PST Gen 2 for sure.

I have the same decision... I found the Tango 4 in basic MRad for around $595. So if the two are that close, I think I may go with the Sig. I just can't get past how many ppl use the PST gen2. Let us know which way you go.
