Just how good are the Sightron riflescopes?

[KDX]

I have the SII Big Sky 6.5-24 and it's an excellent scope. I'll buy another Sightron before I'll buy another Leupold for my rifles.

My 20x SS is in the EE right now for a lot less than yours and no one has snapped it up yet!

I was torn between getting 16 or 20 but figured I was already kind of used to the 20 SS so I stuck with 20.

Jerry's on vacation this week so I am ordered but waiting. I'm excited!

The 20x were never as popular as the 10x. Probably because 10x is used for military competition. Obviously I can't comment on your scope. It a friend had a 20x and I was not impressed by it. The glass didn't seem anywhere as good as the 10x and 16x versions.

The 10x that I sold had seen relatively little use and it came with the original packaging, manuals etc. I also threw in a $70 set of rings with it.

I'm using a 10-50x60 SIII for 1000 yard competitions. It works.

Even put your NXS up for sale I noticed...

Love my SIII 8x32-56 on my .204 it makes gophers a bit nervous though.

What reticle is on your 10-50?

It is a fine crosshair with a 1/8 moa dot.

Even put your NXS up for sale I noticed...

And sold! I am going to try the 10-50 SIII with the fine crosshair. Not that I'm getting rid of Nightforce scopes. They work very well. I am considering selling my Nightforce 3.5-15x50, and upgrade to a 5.5-22x50 on my 338L, where weight is not as much of an issue.

Thanks Terry. I am trying to convince myself to give Sightron (10-50) a try.
After reading this thread, I think I am convinced. Now just have to decide which reticles to go with.

My SIII 6-24x50 showed up today. It came with Sightron flip up caps.

A nice surprise.

I got a 10 50 60 sightron on my 220 swift and I love it. Yes a have compared it with a nf and I couldn't see a difference in clarity,a very good bang for your buck,

Jerry shipped my SIII 20x today!
I can't wait

 

[whitey07]

i got a 10x42 from hirsch coming any day

 

[manitou210]

Sold his Nightforce 12by 42 for Sightron

My Neighbour a F class shooter sold his NF for a Sightron seems to really like it he says it matches his stock better.??

His stock is quite nice only stock ever made at Robertsons all Pearl Gel Coat
and best of all it really shoots well. he shot 40 rounds at club Sierra shoot
at 300m all bulls with 31 V bulls. and its not a .308 it is just a mouse gun

I have 3 Sightrons, used for either F Class or metallic silhouette. Tracking on all three have been flawless. Sightron is backed by Hirsch Precision in Canada. That in itself is a huge + for Sighton.
