Re: Why isn\'t anyone useing the SIII SIGHTRON 6-24x50 side focus

Reed;
I look forward to testing the scopes. I will have several 338 snipe-tac rifles for testing. I am building two ultra light single shots for long range hunting in Wyo. Ultra light, well maybe for this round anyway. We are trying to hit the sub 11# range. Ti action, carbon bbl and stock. I just finished a all stainless barreled action with carbon stock, it came in at 13.25# with the above materials i should be able to shave off at least 3.5#.

Dave

I can't build a 22 dasher under 11 lbs, let alone a fire breathing monster like that. A good tank style break will be a must on that rifle. With a ti action and carbon fiber barrel with a 338 -408 tac improved is about the most advnced long range big boomer a man can build. I'm sure it will work out. Keep in touch

Sightron replaced my scope with a new one. With no hassle at all. They had a shipment of bad glass, from what i understand. My new is very clear, adjustiments very good, and side focus workds great. I don't think there is a better scope for the money. I am very happy know [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I’m kind of curious how a bad shipment of glass ever got past quality control? Did they send out or publish a recall anywhere so everyone affected could get a new scope? If it was just bad glass why didn't they simply fix it? Aren’t Sightron's serviceable? It sounds like a lot of bad scopes were shipped and they are only fixing the ones where people are complaining.

This is my favorite!

I checked with MidSouth, and they plan on investigating/feeling Sightron out this fall. They may become another stocking vendor for Sightron's products. I am waiting to hear back from them to see if and how much.
