I love my pst's.  Imo you get a lot more bang for your buck from vortex.  I have a friend with that Nikon and he hates it.   Personally I like to dial for everything beyond 300. I just don't like bdc any more. Dialing is much more consistent Imo. Your best bet is to check them all out in bad conditions if possible.  Ford vs Chevy thing I guess but I've never liked the gold rings my self. And factor in the price makes it seam like your paying for the name

If I had the money I'd go with nightforce or huskemaw, I have had nothing but good luck with my huskemaw.

There are a lot of nice scopes out there. I have had the pleasure of helping a good friend who builds custom rifles allowing me to go and zero and fire quite a few rifles. We have had all of the scope types to shoot with. With out a doubt there is absolutely no comparison . The Huskemaw and Nightforce are far superior when actually getting to look at all of the manufacturers scopes side by side. I have both the Huskemaw Blue Diamond and the Nightforce Atac R. They are fantastic. I shot a mule deer at over 900 yds with my Huskemaw. I could not put eye guards on the buck with my Leica 10x40 Geovids. When I turned up the Huskemaw to 20 Power WOW!!! Eye guards !!!. Dialed and pulled the trigger. Well worth the money in my opinion. Huskemaw is around $1300.00, Nightforce a bit more.
