sightron scopes

I was just at a gun show in Harrisburg Pa and talked to a gent that thought the world of sighton scopes. He said they track better than leupold's! The thing that got me was he also sold Zeiss, Shmit&bender! He said that the sightron was just as good as the other two companys! Any one have any experince with sightron?

Bubb,

I'd recommend running a search on the forums here on Sightron. I have an SII6-24x42mmD, and unfortunately right now I am feeling like hammered dog crap, so I don't really wan't to get all into that again.

Short version is, they work, so far as the clicks repeating, and the optics being reasonably clear. The clicks aren't a true 1/8MOA, and they have an unusual number of clicks per revolution on the turret (7.5 vs a whole number) that makes 'clicking' your scope not the most user friendly. For the amount difference in $$$ btwn a Vari-X III 8.5-25x50mm LR/T, I'd say sure, get the Sightron if money is a consideration. But I honestly think they are more down in the Vari-X II class IMHO.

Aacck. There I go. Vocal diarhea again.

Bedtime for bozo. Later.
