Sorry man, we've wanted to bring this type of content to you guys a long time ago. Every time we've gotten our shipments in Mike and I have discussed holding onto a PST to do a range review video. In doing this, we would also be pushing a customer one more slot back in line. With the long wait for these scopes combined with the patience of our loyal customers it's been hard to justify holding onto to even one scope for a range review at this point.
If we're able to in the near future, we will do our best to bring it to you guys. We have several scopes (no PST's right now) we're taking to the range next week so stay tuned...
Thanks,
Mason @ CST </div></div>
I definitely understand not holding customers up. I know there's pressure to get reviews out there so props for putting others first.
I'm not sure how it works in the optics world but I would have figured that Vortex would send out some test mules to some of their larger/more popular vendors to get the name out there and prove that it's a good product as well as allow the vendor to answer customer's questions with real world experience, not regurgitated literature. </div></div>
The spring of 2010 Vortex sold a limited amount of their scopes and found out that there were some issues. They sent the remainder back to be remanufactured and are finally getting them to the retailers. Not as fast as the consumers would like though.
I had one of the original 6-24x50mm PST FFP MOA scopes. When they received the remanufactured ones they exchanged it at no charge to me. I was perfectly happy with the first one, but took the new one.
I took a chance on one and am a happy camper. The glass is clear and and the tracking is spot on. I shot for the first time at 1,000 yds a couple of weeks ago and practiced adjusting the turret up and down 108 clicks which is 27 MOA for my reloads. After the 2 ten shot groups plus 3 sighters I turned the turret down the 108 clicks to my 200 yd zero. Then to see if I was sighted in at 200 yds. I shot a 5 shot 3/4" group in the center of the X-ring of the 200 yd. target. I also came in second place in benchrest class being beat by only 1 point.
I can not see how any other scope can have more accurate adjusting turrets no matter what they cost.
Just my .02
