Youre kidding right, nothing cheap in terms of quality or construction in this unit.

I kind of wondered if that was the case. I've done a bunch of reading on the PST models, and for whatever reason the optical performance of the 4-16 has very mixed reviews. The 6-24 is supposed to be an entirely different, and optically superior, animal. Some guys got good samples of the 4-16, but many others were disappointed. It seems like a 50:50 split.

I have looked through alot of 4-16 PST's and 6-24 pst. The 6-24x50 PST seemed to be more consistent in glass quality.I can't find any other scope in the PST price line that has so many features.
