Title: Vortex pst/hs-t or bushnell dmr
Post by: Wild Bill on December 15, 2013, 09:03:13 AM: Thats the debate in my head.

I can get the Bushnell 3.5-21x50x34mm DMR from a buddy who is selling a lightly used one in G2 for $800.

Paying market value for a new Vortex 4-16. so about $900ish

I really dont care for vortex reticles except in LRS/ EBR-2, but dont dial windage much anyhow so could/will get over it.

I would want FFP, exposed turrets, and prefer solid clicks on the turret....

If I were you, and you were I......
Which would you buy and why?

Thanks,
WB

I like em both, but on a hunting rifle weight is a concern. So is having a good piece of glass though....
