I'm liking the scope thus far. Took it to range yesterday afternoon to sight in along with my RPR which has a Gen 1 6x20 Viper PST. From a pure glass standpoint, there certainly isn't anything about the ERS that justifies the list price difference over the PST, and I think the PST may be a little brighter. But the turrets, oh the turrets on the ERS. Big, beefy, well marked, incredible click feel and firm yet simple lift to adjust / down to lock. I've always been a pure holdover guy, but that will change with this scope. One rotation of the turret is 10 mils and I was holding 3 mils yesterday at 750 yds. G2 reticle is also great. Simple but has everything you need for long distance holdovers.
The FDE is definitely different - almost a metallic bronzeness to it. Wasn't sure I was going to like it when I laid it next to the rifle, but once it was mounted up I liked it.
Be sure to look at the Aero Precision FDE Ultralight scope mounts for your FDE parts. Hard to believe something so inexpensive and light can do the job so well but they do - at least on a caliber like Grendel. A total PIA to set up and level - especially the first time you do it (the scope rotates as you torque the screws down), but now that I've done it a few times, I think any extra time spent leveling was offset by only having to torque down 4 screws instead of 12.
