Looking for a Sightron S3 10x50 60mm scope review

[little_airwolf]

Hi, just wondering if anyone here can give me some advise about this scope please.
I'm looking at at shooting my .22, 22wmr, and .223 with it.
Ranges are 300yds and under.
Currently own a tasco 6-24 and 10-40 scope for me savages 22s, and are looking to upgrade.
I own a lucid HD7 for my Su-22 and SU-16 for short range practice but would like magnification for longer distances.
Again thanks for your time!!!!!!
I really like the high power the scope offers.
FYI, Yes I know most people shoot with 16x or less but I come from an archery background and are use to a high power scope and only being able to see a few rings of the target.

Did you check out Mystic Precision..........site sponsor?

Yes check all sightron dealers. However do you think a dealor would say bad things about the optics he's trying to sell?
That's why I've asked for personal reviews. Hope to get some here. Found some online, good and bad.
Thanks again!

Google up Target Shooting magazine. This is an e-mag from England and look back about 1 to 1-1/2 years. There is an excellent review on this scope from a gentleman in England. There has been about 2 other reviews I can think off in other magazines. Generally considered to be a pretty decent scope with optics compable to Nightforce. A lot of the F-Class shooters are using these scopes out to 1000 yards with excellent results.

I wouldn't be afraid of buying one of these.

I did cover off this scope in a review I wrote a while back. While I remain positive on this particular scope I'd add that after using better optics and then switching back one does see the flaws in the big Sightron. Overall though still a good buy for the money.

Thanks. $1200 taxes in is alot for me. However, everyone comments, you get what you pay for, for optics.
If there is a ligetime warrenty and I can trade the scope back and forth between guns. It might be worth it.

This is a very big scope for a 22 sized receiver. You might consider a Sightron 8 x 32 x 56 scope. I actually prefer these to the 10 x 50. These are slightly smaller in size and I consider the glass to be "better". Personal preference though. Cheaper too. Steve
