    Wouldn't waste ya hard earned dollars on one of those mate, I brought one to put on the Edge, ticked all the boxes apart from the ridiculously tall elevation turret ( seems to be a stupid trend at the mo ) just wasn't up to mine or your standard.

    Was a very nice scope, TMOA is a great reticle with good glass plus a good weight & size. But the clicks were terrible & mushy worse than a 200 Chinese piece of shit and had farken awful over travel, I was very disappointed considering that it's called a LRP ( long range precision ) really should stand for "long range poo's" I thought leupold were a bit more clued up. Ended up taking it back & was told by the importers that's how they are

    Forgot to mention that I ended up buying a NF SHV 5-20 x 56 with dial-able top turret & very impressed with it, great value for money

    I have heard mutterings that the glass is the same as or equivalent to the Gen 1 Razors. They certainly look like an improvement over the first PST's.

    The new Nikon Black 1000 looks a good scope.

    I've always been impressed by the glass and turrets on my previous Nikon scopes.

    These black scopes look a nice bit of kit for the medium priced long range scope.

    I have a Viper PST Gen 1, Viper HS, and a Diamondback and like them all. A few people give the Vortex a bad rap but for there price and warranty( if needed) they are good value for money. I like what people are saying about the Gen 2 PST sounds as if they are better again than the older models.
