Vortex Gen 2 PST 1-6

[SomeOtherGuy]

The features and specs are now on Vortex's website, and look like a major upgrade over the gen1 PST. The 1-6x looks identical to the Razor 1-6x in most ways - I am wondering if it may simply be the same scope, renamed. Does anyone know if the PST's are still made in the Philippines, or were moved to Japan?

Oh, MSR prices are significantly higher too, as might be expected. Based on MSRP these will be priced about the same as Burris XTRII scopes, which are the obvious competitor.

The AMG is also a 30mm tube versus 34mm on the Razor, potentially losing some weight in both aluminum and the size of some optical elements.

Agreed, that was just one of the ways Vortex stated they dropped the weight as the AMG is significantlying lighter(more than a pound) than the Gen 2 Razor's...where the Gen 2 PST 1-6 shaves a little more than 2oz as advertised over the Gen 2 Razor 1-6.

The FOV in the PST line is narrower. The weight is lower, but not by much...was hoping somewhere around 19ozs.

And you will get more of my money then. I'm building an AR for my nephew, and this looks very useful.

They are able to order through Vortex today if you qualify for LEO/First Responder/MIL.

I was told Jan-Feb for the 5x25 Gen II PST.
