You would use badly taken pics of a reticle to make your scope decision?
The Bushy is tried and true, and has the LL seal of approval. It has been vetted by the community and there isn't much negative anything about it.
The PST is just now trickling to customers who have ordered them over a year ago.
It's a no brainer. I wouldn't pick up a scope until it was in good circulation for AT LEAST 6 months. Until then, all it is is something that looks good on paper. It also helps to remember that the PST was already botched up so badly that Vortex had to start from scratch because the original ones were <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">pieces of shit</span></span>.
Buy the Bushnell, use the extra $350 on ammo and shoot. </div></div>
Well I had to find the other thread, but the tone in that thread is the same as it is here.
Argument is pointless on this forum, weve pretty much exhausted the point of this discussion, so lets restart it in 6mo when people have used them for awhile.
Continue using the Bushnell that has no issues whatsoever, other than the 12 total mils of elevation, should be good for 800yds.
Ponder this question, say everything on the PST was perfect, but it only had 12mils of total adjustment. Do you think Vortex would have continued production of them?

It's nice that you choose to highlight the description, but not the object being described.

I have no final judgments on the new ones one way or the other. In fact, if you would go back and look, since you're so keen to do so, my only judgment is POSITIVE based on the 1-4x that I have seen and held and looked through informally. It seems beefy. Glass looks nice. Reticle is good. Clicks are good-not-great. But that isn't enough to definitely purchase one due to the fact that Vortex had to start over with the PST.
Don't know about other Bushies, but my 3-12x44 ffp has 20 mil of travel. I never argued it was the perfect scope. But it is tried and true, and does have PLENTY of positive reviews, including a very in depth, harsh testing period done by Lowlight. He shot his out to 1000 and back to his 100 yard zero with no issues. When someone literally blows up the PST and it continues to perform, I'll lose my skepticism.
