I have 3 of the PA 4-14 FFP scopes with the mil dot reticle. The glass on all three is consistent and is on about the same level as my 3-9 Leupold Vari-X II's I have, all from the 80's. They don't compare, however, to my 3-9 Zeiss Terra's. I'm currently doing some testing with a 338 WinMag and the PA, knowing up front that Marshall at PA has recommended a limit of 308 Winchester on them. If it fails, I won't send it back for warranty replacement - I'll just buy another.
