So far I love it. It's raining and pretty dark here, still looks clear as can be. Can't wait to try it out....

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
I think I am going to get one of these for a Spikes ST15.
Usually put ACOG's on AR's, but wouldnt mind trying something with a true 1x and still have the ability to have a little magnification, for shooting farther out, since I suck with irons.
Everything I have had from Vortex has performed above its pay grade, sure this will too.
Have you been able to get any time behind this yet? Also, do the 1-4's also have the zero stop? Not that I would need it for an AR carbine, just curious. Also, is the 1-4 a second focal?

Nice setup. I'm not happy with my Aimpoint and the 1-4 power variable is great.

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
Any updates on this?
I have a mil/mil 1-4 PST on the way, should be here Wednesday.
Also am trying a Bobro mount for the first time. Should have everything mounted up and running by the weekend. Cant wait to try it out.
This will be my first true 1X optic with variable mag. Hoping I will be able to improve my capabilities with my carbine.
Really counting on Vortex. They havent let me down yet.

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
Got mine in the mail today. I am very impressed. The highest rheostat setting seems pretty bright. I wasn't able to take it out in the sun, but it seems it would be visible at least on a cloudy day. The clicks are awesome and the size is just right. Waiting on my Larue mount.

On what is yours going to be mounted?

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
How you guys doing on battery life? I got less than two week to deader-than-a-door-nail. (No I did not accidentally leave it, I was hoping that was the problem but it was definitely off
!) Otherwise I'm lovin' it so far: nice glass, simple clean reticle, mil-mil... but if its going to drain-down fully that quickly...Anyone else?

I had the same problem with a Strikefire. It wasn't the sight, it was the battery. Try it with a name-brand battery.

I'm debating between this and the SWFA SS 1-4x, and battery life/reliability is going to be one of my deciding factors. Thanks.

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
I have had the scope for about 2 weeks (took delivery on the 7th). I've only had it on for a few minutes at a time to try it out and bore-site; haven't even made it to the range yet...original battery.
I want to emphasize I'm not trashing this scope I really like it so far, I'm just wondering if there is an issue with the battery draining down when the power is off...it <span style="font-style: italic">would</span> suck to have to remove the battery after each use. If that were true it would certainly eliminate it from use on a SHTF rifle.
Anyone else...Good or Bad?

Re: Vortex PST 1-4 now on my LMT MRP CQB
I got mine last Wednesday, I’ve been to the range twice, played around with it a lot in the house and I accidentally left the illumination on for two days on setting 7 so far the battery is still going strong.
I’m sure it’s no Aimpoint with 3 years of battery life, but so far it hasn’t been too bad, although it has been a very short amount of time.

Looks good. Write up a review if you get the chance!
