Nice looking rifles. I think I'm out of my league.
I'm thinking the same thing.
If a concussion is what you seek, I can bring my 12.5" .308 SBR with a brake...
Is this the Vortex Viper PST scope?
Correct, 6-24x50mm FFP mil/mil version. The MaTen has an SWFA 5-20x.
Very nice scope! If you don't mind, I may wish to look at it on Saturday. I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade to this or if I like the HS-T. I've never used a SWFA but I've heard good things.
You might want to take a look at this thread; Alan at AA Optics has a SMOKING deal going on the HS-T....

ETA: It's my understanding that the HS-T and the PST share the same glass and turrets, but the HS-T lacks the illuminated reticle. I'll let you decide on Saturday if the illumination and extra magnifacation (depending on which PST you're considering) is worth the extra $$$. I will say that I don't use the illumination very often, but I tend to shoot in the day more than dawn or dusk.
I'd jump all over the HS-T for $650 if it were mil/mil instead of moa/moa, but that's totally based on how I learned. I don't think one is any better than the other.

If you're undecided on magnification, I'll be bringing a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50mm FFP moa/moa that you could compare.
Thanks! I'd like to see how it compares to my 4-16x50mm Crossfire II.
The PST will make the crossfire look like a $50 centerpoint special from wally. No dig on your stuff, the HS and PST are just that nice. I've got the standard 6.5-20x44mm Viper on my SPR. I really wanted the HS or PST but I was already in the build at $1600 w/o optic and was just about out of fun money. All I could get was the standard viper from Alan for $325. Maybe down the road I'll sell the standard and upgrade
