[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pst question

Posted: 2/2/2014 10:19:33 AM EDT

I Just bought a 6-24x50 pst scope and besides the hazyness at 24power its a great scope. Really wish a $750 scope didnt do that. My question is ......is the pst 50bmg rated. I have a AR50 which is the lightest recoiling of the 50's and am thinking of puting this new scope on it, but only if

1.will it hold up
2. If not will the warranty cover it.

Thanks

Check a couple things quick before making the ruling on the PST's resolution (because for a $750 scope, it actually does quite well): Make sure the reticle is properly focused (ocular lens focus), make sure the parallax is properly set, check ring torque (15-17 inch pounds on most rings is plenty- be careful not to over-tighten), then make sure the turret is not almost maxed out in one direction- this makes the light bend while the passing through the erector tube and can cause some slight distortion (every scope on the market will do this unless the travel has been pre-limited before leaving the factory). Those things will help the image appear the best they can be. The PST will absolutely hold up to the .50 BMG. It will absolutely be covered by warranty if anything were to happen to it in the field. Thanks for the question and please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the reply. I have done most of that you sugested. I havent mounted the scope yet so the ring torque is not an issue. I havent moved the turrets since i got it, is it set in the middle like most scopes? Paralex was one of the first things i do. I was pleased to see the numbets are very close to actual yardage. I'll let the guys know in the 50 forum about them being rated for 50's. Thanks.

The turrets should have been set to mechanical center before shipping out. Thanks for the feedback, let us know if you have any further questions.
