NEW Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 FFP

Nightforce does not have the Parallax knob, which I dont like. Big plus for the Vortex

yes. until I get on a KD range, I don't know the accuracy of the yardage markings on the knob. at this point, just sighting in on various objects in my neighborhood, I'm using it basically as a focus knob. adjust the reticle focus (diopter) with the rear to bring the reticle in sharp focus and then use parallax knob to sharpen the target. very nice...

I did notice some bleeding of the reticle illumination last night and wasn't able to completely get rid of it with the diopter. it could have been my tired eyes (midnight) or reflection from my glasses. I'm going to give it another go tonight if the diopter will allow me to use this scope without glasses. if it does correct my unaided vision, that will be something that I have only had one other scope do. we will see...

I trust Scott at LibertyOptics.

Enough of a vote for me!

Picking this up today.

FINALLY found the time to install it. I'll have some review stuff up soon.

In the meantime, for those who received this scope, does your parallax knob go past the 35 and infinity ranges? I'm not forcing it all; just pushing as lightly as necessary to move the knob, and it bottoms out a bit (1/4"?) past 35 and past infinity. This is my first scope with parallax adjustment, so I thought I'd ask. Heck, it could be notmal for all I know.

Does anyone know the battery life of this?

Just ordered mine from camera land for my 18" SPR. Can't wait to get it mounted. Will post some pics of mounted and range results

interesting bit of serendipity -- I have a scope lever (cat tail) from 3-Gun Stuff for a Burris MTAC, which I sold before the lever arrived. looking it over I noted the ridges on the lever are the same size and approximate spacing as the valleys on the power ring so I gave it a whirl.

the scope lever has three ridges and only one would seat in a valley at a time with the other two riding on top of a corresponding ridge. but because of this, the lever did not sit flush all the way around so I carefully removed the center ridge. now the two outside ridges seat properly and the scope lever is snug and secure all around the power ring.

so, anyone looking for a scope lever for this scope, this will work unless and until one is made specifically for it...

Didn't realize that the magnification rings for the PST line has been changed. I already have a MGM Switchview lever for the original PST magnification ring that I was planning on using for this model, but I guess not.

I don't know if they have been changed or not, this is my first. but luck stepped up and I found a happy solution. try your old PST lever and let us know if it works.

as Jack Burton always says, "it never hurts to try"...

Mine got here today from Eurooptic after ordering it yesterday. Free shipping too. First impression is that it pretty nice glass, the illuminated reticle is plenty bright and the overall unit is lightweight compared to my Razor 1-6.
