Are there any uncapped tactical turrets with the TMCQ reticule on the horizon?
So $1k msrp for a 1-6 w/ no good fast reticle like the tmcq? unless it's got a dot with razor-like brightness, I see that as a fail... I was considering a 1-6 PST upgrade, but not with those reticle options...

They went with the same reticle options as the razor (minus the BDC version). The biggest complaint we saw about the PST 1-4 was the reticle was to small, and you couldnt use it easily for ranging. Like you guys, I will miss the TMCQ reticle, but you have to appeal to the mass's.
Yes, the lines were too narrow/thin to see easily. that could have been fixed. but that uncluttered 1-4moa dot (depending on magnification) was PERFECT for a low-power variable.

It would have been hard to fix, and still have the correct subtentions. IMO on something like the 1-4 all you really used was the 10's which you could see fine. Again, you have to appeal to the mass's, and I know from experience my opinion was not the opinion of the mass's on this.
I will say the TMCQ reticle would have been more distinguished on the 6x version due to the reticle being 33% larger.
dot of .5 moa @ 6x (3 @ 1x) would have been sweeeet. For the subtensions, 33% would have also made those pop.
Is the original PST line going to still be offered, or discontinued? Might have to consider a second 1-4 first gen since my plan for a 1-6 has been squashed...

Are you getting any of the 3-15 or 5-25s?
Alan, the rumor is the gen 2 PST 1-6 has the same electronics as the razor 1-6, and as such will have a daylight bright red dot. Is it possible for you to confirm this? I know the reticle was discussed earlier in this post. I love the TMCQ reticle but feel a daylight bright red dot would work almost as well.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that would be awesome. I would order one ASAP. Just so long it's not "daylight visible" like the old pst 1-4, but truly an Aimpoint-like dot like the razor. Unfortunately, I doubt it would be true as it would compete w. Their own razor sales...

Actually answered my own question. According to the Q&A on the Vortex site, "the reticle and illumination system are the same [as the Razor], the optical system and build components are different making it more affordable for those with a lower budget."
I'm really interested in one of these now.
It does have the same electronic's as the razor. ... Go to my site, and plug in your info
