Thanks for the review Frank! Been waiting to hear how you liked it; looking forward to hearing the rest of your thoughts. I have mine mounted and bore-sighted but haven't made it to the range yet...we're supposed to have a bit of a thaw this week so maybe...

I shot to 600 today with my 1-4PST. Optically I was pretty surprised at the detail I could see. It really is a good little scope, now if they'd make the damned illumination brighter it would be a great little scope.

What should I search on Youtube. Tried Snipershide/PST and got nothing. Thanks for doing it

Nice review Frank. How was the illumination and was it daytime visible?

Any comment on the turret feel Frank? After 8mo of waiting for redesigned turrets I was surprised to not see anything in the review about them

Other than that, a fantastic review.

One question about the 11 mil adjustment. Did you actually measure the linear distance on paper and calculate the required adjustment? Or just use the spotting scope? Isnt it possible the error came from just using the spotters reticle to find the correction? Especially such a small error it would seem easy to do.

That was an awesome review to hear.Havent tested mine yet, but looking at the construction, I was thinking the same thing. Vortex keeps on delivering optics that look and feel like they should cost twice as much.

Hope the 6-24 turns out the same. Will feel a lot better about liquidating the Schmidt's (that I love) and putting the money into better value optics and the difference into ammo and OBR's, LOL.
