Sometimes in life, things happens and just become a natural, i am so impress with the Sightron scope quality, i just order it in full faith, just ordered my third one last week, confidence is a good place to be, now, i am not spitting on the other $$$$ scopes, just think the Sightron's are sleepers and deserve a place among the best at a very FAIR price... JP.
 
That is what I hear from many people.. I just wish they were more widespread at hunting stores so people could actually see them - hell i'd want to see one lol..

I know of 2 good dealers to get them Prophet River, talk to Clay and Mystic Precision, talk to Jerry... JP.
 
My Sii 6.5-20x50 Big Sky is easily the best bang for buck scope I have. For certain applications Sightron will be my choice.
 
In the next 6 months, i will add 2 mores to my herd one Slll 10X50X60 LRIRMOA illuminated for my FNH TSR XP 223 ( this rifle is so accurate to 300 metres, it deserves great glass to shoot those Scenars 77 gr up to 600 metres ) and one Slll 1X7X24 1RA4 for my 7615P 223 as a 0-200 metres proposition... Many of my $$$$ scopes are finding their way in the safe as, i am replacing them with Sightron's... For me that is a reassuring thought... JP.
 
I love my Sightron too. SIII 6-24x50 LRMD. I do have one issue that I am going to fix. I find the crosshairs on the Mildot reticule too be a bit thick, too bad they didn't have a Mildot cross-hair like the Nightforce with thinner lines and hollow dots, that would be awesome.

I am sending my scope to Sightron in a week to have the reticule swapped out for the LRMOA reticule at the Sightron custom shop. It is thinner overall with a small dot in the centre. It's much nicer for long range precision shooting. Overall great scopes for the money, very bright, hold their adjustments, excellent quality and construction, service is great, and the distributor in Canada Hirsch Precision (Peter Dobson), is great to deal with. I'll buy another for my next rifle for sure.
 
You are right about Hirsh Precision, my first one was bought from Mystic but came from Hirsh... JP.

I have joined the club to this spring after I god rid of the viper pst
too bad they dont offer a 3-15 or a 4-16 in the SIII line with locking turrets
they would be great longrange hunting scopes

Thats EXACTLY what I'm looking for as well for my new Cooper 280AI the way. At this point the only choices I'm looking at are the Zeiss HD5 3-15 and Viper 4-16 both with locking turrets. Any others you have considered?
 
Exactly why I went with the lrmoa version. Good call on getting the reticle swapped.

My first scope was a Sightron SIII. I chose it over other entry priced scopes (Leupold, Bushnell, Ziess) simply because I could not find a single negative review. I agree with Caramel, they are a real secret in optics.
 
I have one SIII 8-32 x 50 for my 308 in LRMOA and a 2-7 X33 on my 17HMR and I will as someone else has said, "order without hesitation". I will be buying another one for a 223 soon probably the 6-24 MOA as that target dot in the middle of the reticle seems so precise compared to alot of other scopes that I have looked through. I hope the new popularity doesn't make the price tag jump though :(

I'm waiting for the release of the new TAC 1-7x24mmIR to be released.
It was supposed to be released in March and we're now in June.

I may just need to buy the Vortex Razor HD II JM-1 BDC.
The size and clarity of the glass on that scope is like nothing I've ever seen before .
The 2 negative things about it are the color which has a slight copper hue to it and the weight which is 25.2 ounces.
 
I have a siii 8-32x56 LRMOA for target shooting and love it. I also have a Viper PST FFP 6-24x50 which is quite nice but I think I prefer the sightron. Ihowever,'m hoping they add in some FFP scopes. I have decided to stick with MOA for all my scoes so I don't have to go through mental gymnastics with MOA vs MIL. I prefer a kiss approach and the only extra variable I want to introduce is FFP
 
The target dot on my Slll is one of the best for group, i should be on my challenge soon with my 10X50X60 LRTD and Nemesis, i have choose this one over a much more$$$ scope, it just perform better... In my book that is... JP.
 
I also happen to own Siii 8-32x56 LRMOA. I love everything about this scope including the clarity of the glass. I just wish that Sightron would come up with Turret Lock Rings. Other than that, I believe that it's one of the best scopes around for the buck spent.
