How do the Burris XTR's compare to the Vortex PST's?

My apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it with the search function, and TIA if it hasn't.

I have moved from the PST to the XTR2. I like the XTR2 much better. Knobs are better, I like the zero stop more. I think there is a bit more clarity on the glass and the 34mm tube is nice.

Burris by a long shot. Much clearer glass, much nicer turrets, better reticles. The burris xtr is just a better all around scope for the money.

Burris has better turrets, 25 moa vs. 12moa per rev. I like the zs better on the Burris also. The reticle is a lot thinner in the Burris and the graduation is easy to use. I personally don't think the glass is much different in either. At 25x on my Burris, its really hard to see clearly. Just my .02

Another vote for Burris, just a little bit better all the way around.

Have both, Burris hands down.

XTR glass is very good for the $$.

Well considering NO ONE had the Burris XTR II in stock, or at least where I looked anyways, I decided on a Sightron SIII. I'll link to one I purchased below. I really didn't need FFP for my intended use with this scope and this is my first Sightron purchase, so could I get some opinions on it ( both good or bad)? TIA.

I think you will like the Sightron S111 very much. It is a great scope for the money and the optics in the ones that I have are excellent. They track perfectly Would be my choice over either one of the other two. Good choice...
