Rifle Scopes Veracity vs Tango4 vs PST Gen 1

[entoptics]

Greetings all. Having trouble finding good info on the Veracity 5-25 scope and Sig Tango4 6-24, and figured this would be the place to ask.

I'm an experienced long range shooter, and have very specific requirements (see below). The Oracles (google and youtube) didn't provide me with much hard data, and I visited 5 stores recently and none had the Sig or Burris available to handle. I've handled and shot the PST, so I'm hoping you guys can help with the other two.

Why I think these 3 scopes are the final contenders...

0) Will mostly be on a Savage LRH 300 win, but will occasionally see "shooting for groups" duty on a couple of AR 15/10 platforms and my other bolt guns. Illumination isn't needed (e.g. Veracity) but it seems to be bundled with the other feature set I'm looking at for most manufacturers.

1) Budget! - I can barely afford any of the above (will happily fall back is a Vortex HS-T 6-24), but I'm sort of interested in a FFP optic.

2) Weight - This will mostly be a target optic, but also some hunting and some informal run-n-gun competitions. A 30+ ounce optic is a no go.

3) MOA reticle, 1/4 MOA clicks...I'm looking at you Vortex HSLR..., and zero stop turrets.

Biggest questions I'd like answered about the Burris and Sig...

1) FFP reticle size? The PST reticle is pretty dang small, and is only "ideal" for me at 24X, so I'm wondering if the others are the same. If so, I'll probably stick with an HS-T 6-24 and save the $$ for bullets...

2) Glass quality comparison?

3) Turret operation and features, and reticle tracking reliability.

Anyway, I'd love to hear from people with experience and/or get some links to some thorough reviews/comparisons/etc.

I've looked through both the Tango 4 and Veracity. I like them both.

I have spent a lot more time behind the Burris, so I can help you with some of those questions.

I hunt year round with the XTR II using the SCR reticle. I don't have any issues with visibility down to 4x. yes, it gets a little thin there, but not so much so that you will have trouble picking it up. The only time I had an issue was last season at first light. The sun had just come up and was in my face, but I was looking back towards an opposite ridge watching a black bear move through the dark, shaded timber. My reticle was washed out as everything was dark. I flipped on my illumination and the problem was solved. That's the only time I have ever used illumination.

The glass is very good, as this is essentially the same glass as the XTR II. Turrets and tracking are excellent. I have never heard of anyone ever having a tracking issue with a Veracity.

This is a really good scope. I plan on getting one for myself for my 6.5 Grendel that I hunt lions and wolves with as soon as they roll out the mil version.
