Go with Rbros and don't look back. Another up side to a very accurate rifle that is not mentioned, is you can go down in cartridge size and get the same results due to the ability to place your bullet right where it needs to be.

Travis,
What is your opinion on the Vortex scopes and tracking?

The Vortex scopes track ok.  I wish their adjustments were a little stiffer so things didn't move as easy when bumped or in a pack.  Their glass is OK.  Not as good as NF, but on par with Leupold.  This would be for the PST's and not the Razor HD's.  The downside to them is they don't have much elevation adjustment.  Not a huge issue for shooting 1K and less with a performance cartridge, but still, they are a little limited there.

Honestly, if a guy doesn't want to spend the money on a NF, the 4.5-14x50 Leupold is hard to beat.  It is brighter and clearer than the 6-20x50 scopes for some reason even on the same magnifications.

I currently have 2 Leupold prototypes in the shop they sent to play with for awhile and they do show promise as well as having a nice MOA reticle in them.  (Don't ask, I have been told to not give out any details on them yet.)

What a tease, LOL
