Yes... I'm bias towards Vortex Optics.

Might have a Vortex addiction...

Nice! Vortex fan myself. How do you like that 1-4? I am eyeballing the new 1-6 Gen 2:

me three.

I like them too.

I own four right now, a Gen I Razor, a PST, a HST, and a Diamondback.

They make great products and have excellent service. When I first started contacting companies for donations for the Tinsley Thompson benefit being held here in Houston, they were the first company to contact me back and were excited to help out. Great people!

Plus they have an excellent LEO/Military program!

How does the primary arms gen 3 1x6 acss stack up against vortex.

So I ended up changing out the Leopold rings for the Nikon M-223. Gives me much better height and eye relief.

So most people would recommend the Strike Eagle 1-6. But I've never liked the AR-BDC reticle on the Strike Eagle. I like a good crosshair reticle. The TMCQ (MOA) reticle on the PST 1-4 was the biggest influence. However, the glass is much better on the PST as well. I ended up finding my PST 1-4 at Cabela's bargain cave and with my military discount I was OTD for at/sub $450. Currently you can find them (PST 1-4) for $399 new at Cabela's.

With all that said... I do like the PST GenII 1-4 VMR-2 reticle. And with a MSRP at $1,000 I'm sure they upgraded the glass as well. Will I replace my PST 1-4 with a GenII 1-6? Probably not unless I come by a smoking deal. I don't feel the need to spend more money for two more power. The 1-4 fits my needs.

So I'm just getting into "long" distance/precision shooting. I'm not the best shot. With that said I've shot my Rem700 with the HS 6-24 out to 300yds and getting hit inside a 6" target.

I'm not a fan of the ACSS reticle. Hence as I said above I didn't like the Strike Eagle. Now those that do like the ACSS reticle like the optic. I haven't looked through a Primary Arms optic but a lot of people give them a lot of good reviews.

@Robert_K- Your smoking deal is on govx, promotive, or through vortex themselves. I plan on upgrading my 1-4 pst once the 1-6 has a wider release. For what I sell it for, I will almost be able to cover the price of the new Gen 2 1-6.

I've got 5, I guess I'm a fan too.

As mentioned I bought it at Cabela's Bargain Cave.

 

[BigBoss0311]

Right, I was just saying that because you said you won't replace unless you come across a smoking deal. 30-50% off msrp is a smoking deal in my book.

Always have to one up a guy, don't you?

I have a problem.

I cannot believe how ridiculous their military program is. Bought their 3-12x56 hog hunter for my AR. Going to have to purchase another one for the SCAR 17s.

terrible posture

It's a lib, so... LOL

Has no one mentioned Vortex's lifetime transferable warranty? I just did.

Simple to use too.

I sent one in and they blamed user error. Sent me a brand new one with no fuss.

Sent it in Friday and had the new one the next Thursday.

Gotta ask - how did you misuse it?

 

[ussoldier1984]

I have 3 vortex optics. Its the only optic I use so I guess I am biased too lol
HST 24x50
Strikefire II
Vortex 3x magnifier

I bought it used first of all but it was fine.

They claimed over torque on the ring screws knocked the erector loose. Apparently that is a common (relatively speaking of course) issue on the Viper PST series (maybe others too) from what I have read. The tube didn't have a mark on it though and I use a torque wrench on everything.

I was swapping scopes and I dropped it. The eye piece hit the metal base of my chair. After that the reticle was canted a little and it wouldn't focus properly.

Either way it was user error and they replaced it. I paid shipping one way and that was all.
