Rifle Scopes dumb question on vortex pst 1-4x24

[corey4]

does the reticle really appear that small in the eye piece?

or does it go end to end like a normal reticle?

told you it was a dumb question.

That picture is a horrible representation of it, it fills up more than the picture shows, but is still small overall.

Click on the "subtension detail" link in the link you posted...that is a generally more representative image of the reticle "as seen" through the scope.

Is the 1-4 FFP or SFP?

SWFA has better pics of the reticle

Re: dumb question on vortex pst 1-4x24

midway has it as SPF.

if it was FFP, then it would make sense.

like i said, dumb question. it's not like you can just run down to the LGS and they will have one to finger fcuk.

i picked up a PST 4-16x50 and was not impressed at all with the glass. so, i picked up a 6-24x50 hoping everyone was right that the 6-24 has better glass.

i originally wanted the nikon m-223, but i am taking a chance on the mini PST at twice as much. i hope i am not let down again...

thanks for answering.

I just got one last week. It does seem small to me. The lines are .2 moa iirc. I see this optic not as a precision shooting optic and wish the reticle was bigger or at least the lines thicker.

The PST 1-4x is SFP ONLY. Reticle is the same size regardless of the magnification.

Have you considered the Burris MTAC?

hmmm...the reticle looks kinda puny.

Re: dumb question on vortex pst 1-4x24

from the stuff i have been reading, the vortex seems to be the winner for more precise shoots. the burris for quicker accusition.

i am understanding that the glass is pretty much the same.

Re: dumb question on vortex pst 1-4x24

if the reticle looks like this: http://www.burrisoptics.com/reticles.html , then i'd be a happy camper

Re: dumb question on vortex pst 1-4x24

Reticle is very small on the PST 1-4 I have played with.
The lines seemed thin too and it was very hard for my aging eyes to see at all.
