This is a scope that I have wanted for a long time. Being the price tag is in the top tier level of scopes has been what held me from purchasing one sooner. But I see it as a lifetime investment and Vortex's warranty guarantees that. This replaced a vortex viper PST gen I 6-24x scope. Immediately it is much bigger and heavier, as expected. I didn't feel a significant difference in weight on my rifle. I believe it's 20 ounces more than my viper PST so that's 1 1/4 lbs. The glass clarity is much better. The turrets are larger and locking, which I love. I primarily shoot distance on a range but sometimes take the same rifle hunting. I haul my rifle in a backpack sleeve after I use a tree climber to get up a tree whitetail hunting. Sometimes the PST scope will have the turrets move on me while sliding around in the sleeve. That won't be an issue with this. Zeroed very easily. Sub 1/2 moa groups at 325 the first time I used it. Harvested a nice 8 pt the day after I installed it as well. Rugged and dependable. Able to handle everything I want to do with it. Glass clarity for long distance range shooting or low level light during hunting won't be beaten by any other scope for the price. I'm very satisfied with it and won't need to buy another scope for my primary rifle ever again.
