First off, this new Nightforce isn't competing with Sightron, as much as you'd like to think this is the reason for the newly designed scope. It's aimed at hunters, as NF says in their ad and I'd be willing to bet its aimed at buyers of the Zeiss Conquest and Vortex lines.
I have no experience with F class or what people use, but I see what optics different hunters use on a regular basis, and Sightron isn't among them. In fact, I have yet to see a Sightron being used by a hunter, though I'm sure there are a few out there. So outside of your post and the odd person mentioning them on the US "sniper" forums, they're a non contender in the optics market, as Phil said in an earlier post.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion, it just seems that whenever someone posts a question about a scope, your opinion is that anything in Sightron's price range is of lesser quality, and the value in Sightron is even on par or superior with scopes costing twice as much.
I ask you one simple question: if they're so superior as you claim, how can they ignore such a gross oversight as forgetting the hyphen in the power range marking? To me, that's a major blunder/oversight and I find it hard to fathom that a company which is supposedly innovative and uses cutting edge tech could let this slip through? It's got Chinese sweat shop written all over it, wouldn't you agree?
How can you build a $250,000 sports car that doesn't start?
or tool up an entire factory to build what is now regarded as the most ugly vehicle every invented?
or have one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world loose billions and billions of dollars cause of a board room opinion?
if you feel lettering on a product is make or break for you, then the Sightron is an epic fail. Personally, I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out on this post.
I guess that is not one of the ways I value a scope.... my bad.
