any thoughts on the vortex gen ll pst's?

[ColoGuy970]

This is all good info, I am about to order a PST gen II. I can proform Zeiss, Burris, and vortex. Looking to spend around as much money as the vortex pst. What would you guys suggest? Thanks

Burris has up to 200$ off right now. The XTR2 is offering all the features that seem to be popular right now. 34mm tube,
10mil turrets, and zero stop.
But the Nightforce SHV offers a lot for the money. I tend to look at resale value/popularity. I get bored easy and trade and sell a lot. Burris is popular along with Nightforce and SWFA are always a safe bet for me, I always can move them and get most of my money back.

I just couldnt live with the burris glass wise.it looked like a tasco to me

34 mm tube is the biggest waste on a scope. its like the guy who drives a giant lifted truck with low profile 22's on it.

my gen ll arrives today.ill keep everyone posted on what its like when i get to evaluate it.if its crap vortex is gonna hear about it,trust me

 

[vegas steve]

ok here is what ive noticed so far.the glass is a definate improvement over my gen l pst,turrets are very nice,and clicks are decent.this scope has zero backlash on the turrets,seem very precise.the rear diopeter focus ring is a little looser when backed out to work with my glasses compared to my gen l but not bad.other than checking it when i get a chance on reticle shift at higher elevation adjustments i wd say it runs circles around an xtr ll

Did a glass comparison between the gen ll set at 20x and my leupy vx3 6.5-20x50 and viewing a brick chimney at 950 yrds at dusk,the bricks were a bit clearer and sharper with the gen ll over the vx3.not a dramatic difference,but i could see the morter between the bricks better with the vortex.i was hoping for a bigger improvement than that,but ill take it.

So far the gen ll seems to be holding its own well against my other scopes.it beats my vx3,my pst gen l,and my zeiss conquest 6.5-20.other scopes ive owned that it surpasses is a bushy elite tactical 4.5-30x50,weaver tactical 4-20x50,and sightron siii 6-24x50.

I forgot to mention that it is far better than the burris veracity 5-25x50 i had a while back too

 

[vegas steve]

Does anyone know what size butler creek caps fit the gen ll?

 

[vegas steve]

anyone else have a gen ll? let us know what you think so far

 

[vegas steve]

i know there are more guys out there using a gen ll pst.let us know what you think so far

 

[vegas steve]

the gen ll has surpassed all my expectations.it does everything i bought it for.excellent scope

 

[tbrice23]

if my scope has this same problem when it arrives i will make them upgrade me to a razor or i will beat the living hell out of them

So you are not going to have to split any skulls?
