1-6x PST Gen 2
Initial out of the box / looking out the window impressions (will post more after a range session or two):
-much closer to the Razor 1-6x than the PST 1-4x in execution
-glass is very good for the price point (especially at the higher mag)
-on 1x, not as good as the Razor in regards to controlling fisheye, but still good, better than the PST 1-4x
-on 6x is where it really shines, I like this scope at 6x looking at subjects up to 350 yards away; it would be fine for me as a dedicated 6x fixed scope and I could likely use it all day shooting .22lr at 300 or probably .223 at 600 & in with fairly large steel targets
-I did not look through it at magnification other than 1x & 6x
-mag ring was somewhat stiff, but that's usually a good thing for this type of scope, and with a throw lever it'll probably be great
-eyebox at 1x is good, I recall the Razor being slightly more generous, but I may be wrong as I don't have one with me to compare at the moment
-eyebox at 6x is tighter than I would have liked, tighter than the Razor IIRC, but not excessively bad or enough to discount the scope entirely over it
-those looking to pick up a Razor 1-6x, but couldn't afford the $$$, this is the answer to your prayers.
-the glossy finish is better in person than it is in pics, though I might change my mind in direct bright sunlight at noon
-either they fixed the issue, or mine is better when it comes to the battery compartment. a) I used a paper towel wrapped around a quarter to open the compartment with no scratches or denting of the metal in any way b) the battery lit up the red dot illumination with just finger pressure on the battery in the compartment without the battery cover on
-red dot is definitely daytime bright. I think I would burn out a retina using it on 10 (with brand new included battery installed), I preferred it on 7/8 for the most part
-I like the reticle overall, very simple and intuitive. nothing fancy. very glad it's not cluttered and overly busy. It's impressive and effective by what it's lacking over what is is/has. for fast close shooting I wouldn't change anything about it and am very happy with both the reticle and red dot
-just based on heft and feel... I think the Razor is the more durable scope (based on nothing other than "feel"); for traveling comp & targets that shoot back... I'd pay more for the Razor over the PST G2; for local matches and a Razor clone, this fills the niche perfectly
-"80% Razor for 50% price" whoever said that nailed it
