    Not according to Vortex...

    My HS LR has half MOA on the exposed elevation and quarter MOA on the capped windage, which might be what you're thinking of,, but according to Vortex the HS-T has quarter MOA on both elevation and windage.

    My Choice is going to be Sightron S-tac (same as sIII glass) 2.5-18 for my next one in mil/mil at around $1600 and illum it seems to deliver all I want in one... apart from I'm gonna have to keep saving for a while yet....

    Nice review against some other euro glass too if you can be bothered https://youtu.be/xCmNI5OeQCE

    Nice 80MOA of dialup vertically and 40 horizontally and focus down to 10 yards which I thought useful for NZ conditions.

    pretty sure the HS-T has the Wire Ret compared to the etched glass of the PST.

    I agree.. that Stac looks nice. Good reviews regarding optical quality too but for the money I would still go SIII unless you need illumination.

    SIII is made in Japan v the S-Tac made in Philippines?

    Hey @Gibo, Strikernz is right, I have 2x HS-T and a PST, and I can assure you that in the Viper HS, HS-T and PST they are all 1/4" adjustments(MOA SCOPES OF COURSE) and the HS-LR has 1/2" in the elevation and 1/4" in the windage.

    Hope this helps.
