VX-5HD VS Whiskey 5 VS PST GEN II

[TC338]

looking at all three of these scopes for a 6.5 creedmoor hunting rifle.
3-15x44 on each. Shots can range from 25-800 yards. Illuminated reticle is a requirement. Recommendations? Personal experiences?

All I can say is I love my vx-5hd 3-15x44 with the impact 29moa reticle

The hunter , do you feel the impact reticle is to crowded or did you settle right in with it. I have been looking between nightforce atacr or Leupold VX6HD but that reticle is the only one around here right now. I would have to order otherwise.

I don't have any experience with the sig, but i would take the VX5 over the PSTgen II any day.

Why is that? Would you mind explaining? Just looking for info.

The vx5hd is going to have better glass and a locking turret. Also check out the ziess v4. It's in the same price range as them scopes too.

My vote is on this.

The Vortex PST scopes, both gen 1 and 2, have cronic durability issues(usually related to turret tracking). I haven't been a fan of leupold for a while, but the hit it out of the park on the VX5 and VX6 scopes. 19 ounces, 20 moa per turn, locking turrets, clear glass, its just a great all round lightweight hunting scope.

I was going for the firedot duplex, but I was only able to git the impact 29moa. So I ordered it, and when I got it I liked the 29moa reticle a lot. It is steel useble it low light. If you are going to targit shoot a little with it or where you hunt has bad wind you will probebly like the impact29 reticle. The glass is amasing, so is the zerolock turrent.
