Got one this year. Clarity was amazing but it was so different and so annoying compared to what I was used to I sold it in a month. LPVO tech, to me, is better. PLUS in my case I have more than a decade behind one, so it's natural, where the ACOG was totally different way of doing things. |

4th 11.3"/Medium RAS is about to go down
Sub $500 MR Optic shoot out. Gotta be daylight bright red dot. What's the go to? I've always loved the Steiner. Thinking of the pst 1-6 as the reticle is better than the P3TR. Am I missing anything else in this price point. I don't wanna drop NX8 money on an optic this time. |

Just avoid whatever that insane new reticle is. It's as if Steiner let a 14YO develop a reticle. ETA took the newest mini out this evening to sight in the scope and laser. Had a gd squib, thankfully it barely kissed the rifling before coming to a stop. Sigh.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Daggertt: Delta stryker is like a 6x p4xi that weighs the same. Daylight bright, sub 1k You might feel like giving primary arms Nova a try. Also daylight bright. I have a PA Nova, 3 P4Xi’s, and a PST II. The only thing they all have in common is a daylight bright center dot. The Nova glass, while not bad for the price, is nowhere near the Steiner or Vortex. It does give you the extra 2x magnification of the PST with weight similar to the Steiner, but the optical quality isn’t close. I’d trade my PST for another Steiner. The PST is just long, (relatively) heavy and the zoom ring is ridiculously tight. That said, I wouldn’t pay >$600 for a P4Xi. At that point I’d be looking at the Stryker. |

Yea while I've had a few p4xi's over the years I currently do not have one. I did get one and put it on my dad's recce. I might go snag it and take it to the range and give it another go. The only thing that's making me look at the pst is the mil based reticle. It lets me have holds for further vs the bdc lines on the p4xi. |

It’s a 1.5-4x and the dot is daylight bright in all but the brightest environments. I have no problem picking up the dot in noon sun here in Texas during the summer. It’s a nice small package also. |

A scope may be different as it's not a gripping surface and doesn't get sweat/oil and dirt like a grip would. |
