sightron 45x

[duceman]

wondering if anyone has tried or is using the new sightron 45x scope for br?
i have had 2 of the 36’s in the past and was not satisfied with them; seemed to be dark, small f. o. v. , and like looking down a paper towel tube.
never had any tracking or mechanical issues.
i run a lot of the s-tacs, and a couple 10-50’s with great results.

The 45s use different glass and I believe larger tube than the old 36s . I've looked through one and liked it but haven't had a chance to spend much time behind one.

Sightron 45x was an easy choice for me over March 40x and Leupold 45x.

if weight is an issue, go with the 45x, if weight isn't an issue, go with the 10-50 variable for the price difference, reason being is if your shooting in bad conditions or mirage, you can't dial that fixed 45x down to get a clear picture, otherwise it's a nice scope at an overpriced offering

The 45X is a new product and has been used to win and hold at least one sanctioned benchrest record in Canada. All feedback has been as positive as possible.

There are at least 3 being used here for SRBR and everyone that has one is very pleased.

Optics are extreme low dispersion(ED) and 1/10 MOA adjustments are useful in BR.
