Anybody have any experience with this scope? I've always considered myself a bit of snob when it comes to optics and somewhat leary of the "latest and greatest". I've had a good experience with Leupolds and slummed a Nikon Monarch or two, but Vortex seems to have hit the nail on the head with this scope as far as features are concerned. Similar features but more field-friendly than the PST.

30mm Tube
44mm Objective (not Hubble-esque at 50 or 56)
Exposed elevation/capped windage turrets
1/2 MOA elevation clicks
Servicable BDC reticle w/ well-defined hashes
No illuminated reticle nonsense

Tracking reports have been favorable on the Vipers and PSTs. Can't find light transmission numbers published anywhere. Seems like you'd spend several hundred dollars more on a Leupy with similar features (VX3 4.5-14 LR) once you added an M1 turret. Anybody have any experience with this scope?
