For what you paid, Nightforce is the best choice.

For anyone that might wonder if my Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 Failure was an isolated Case? If i am being to harsh on them etc.?
This Guy in the Video below is good, i have watched a few of his reviews, he’s FAIR, As you will see here he is NOT Knocking Vortex in ANYWAY, in Fact he is being EXTREMELY Nice and FAIR in his Review, Not one time does he say ANYTHING Bad, or Bash Vortex in ANYWAY. If i had went through what he did, My review would have been HARSH
This is the EXACT same Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 Scope as What i had. Skip ahead to 5:45 If you don’t want to watch the Whole Review. I might feel different if these were 150 Dollar Scopes, But these Models are 1,000 Bucks!! This is RIDICULOUS, and totally unacceptable! I wouldn’t advise this Brand of Scope to an Enemy

Make sure you follow the directions when setting your zero stop, particularly with the screws under the turreet cap. DO NOT remove the screws and only loosen them to flush with the top. Tightening them is also fairly critical, where you want to use the allen wrench (short end) and not over torque them.
Honestly, I was never one for a lot of "clutter" in a scope, always worried about task saturation. However after shooting and hunting with the MOAR, I found it wasn't the problem I thought it might be. I do not have the level system, so I've never used just the marks and prefer to dial. Your future testing of it will be interesting. Please report if you do.
Illumination adjustment could be easier, but I set mine once, just very low, and its a non-issue after setting it.
