I've owned a lot of quality optics over the years including over a dozen different Trijicon ACOGs, a US Optics, Nightforce, several Leupold Mk4, etc. Based upon my experience with other Vortex products I expected a very high value (price to performance) ratio on the PST 6-24 FFP. Upon receiving the optic I was very happy with the packaging, etc. My excitement abated when I dialed the optic over 12x. From 6-12x it is crystal clear. Above 12x and the clarity transitions to a "milky" or "foggy" image. Vortex Customer service was OUTSTANDING in addressing my concerns. Unfortunately, they ultimately found the optic is performing to specifications. I think this is a "you get what you pay for" situation. For the price it is a good optic. Vortex's CS is absolutely second to none (I could write an entire glowing report about how they rolled out the red carpet for me). Would I recommend this optic to someone else? Yes, but I would tell them to expect decreasing image quality with increasing magnification. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I’ve run optics from all the quality manufacturers over the years. This offering from Vortex is simply amazing given its price point.
Completely clear edge-to-edge, great tracking. I disagree with some of the reviews here as I experienced none of the clarity issues at magnifications they mention.
I highly recommend this glass for anyone one on a budget shooting precision rifle up to 1000m.

I have purchased many Vortex PST scopes in the past. The clarity is unsurpassed! Dials move and click just right.
They have the quickest eye piece of any, including Leupold. (my opinion) Buy this and never look back, because it is better than many 1,000.00 + scopes.
The reticle in the FFL model does not get too large.
Great on my 6ppc, 7-08 and now 6BR.

I purchased this scope just before the deer season to replace a Vortex 4-18x Strike Eagle that was on my Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. The Strike Eagle is a great durable, budget scope that I had no problem reaching out to 500 yards with no problem and I am pleased to say that the PST is its better in every way. The dials are crisp and consistent which made it very easy to sight in. I was also surprised to see that the paralax graduations were accurately marked and useful unlike the Strike Eagle. The clarity of the scope is excellent with good ambient light however, in indoor ranges and at dusk the higher magnifications pick up a slight haze. My only complaints about the scope is that it is a heavy scope and that only three or four magnifications are marked.
As far as durability goes I hunt on an extremely rocky ranch in south Texas and use an old jeep to get around it. After 3 days of violent bouncing and vibration the scope still held its zero and I was able to make consistent shots out to 500 yards. I would highly recommend this scope to anyone looking for a great hunting scope that can also help you reach out to distance.

This is a great scope and a tremendous value. Often people will say “it’s great for the money, but...”. No “buts” here. I have three of them. If I acquire a new rifle this is the first and often only scope I consider. Clear glass to the edge at all powers, excellent tracking, reticle not distracting (which can, for me, be a problem with some ranging reticles)...what’s not to like?
