Lately these two scopes seem to be discussed a lot in the "which one" debate ... I happen to have them both so I knocked out a review ...

Great review, and echoes the results I have had with the 4-16X50 PST. The top end optical performance is low on contrast, but certainly suitable for precision use.

Mine tracked very impressively as well.

Excellent reticle.

Thanks for a timely review... Those two were on my short list for a heavy barrel Rem.. 700 varmint rig that needs new glass... Think I will be going SIII since mine is for prairie rats during the day and glass trumps illum. for my application.
