What I prefer about the Vortex pst gen 2 1-6 is the reticle is pretty traditional and not to busy with a daylight bright red dot in the center. I don't care for all the clutter of most lpvo reticles. This is nice and clean but is illuminated with a perfect dot for quick sight target alignment...
I like my Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 1-6 on my Henry model x 30-30. I can go down to 1x for up closer but also zoom in a little to shoot a deer or target at distance. It's better to have than not have and need or want.

Nightforce nx8 4-32x50 f2 mil
Vortex pmr rings
Mdt bipod
