[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 258811, member: 4191"] Here's what ILya, from The Optics Talk Forums had to say about Sightron products in his 2009 Shot Show review. [I]Sightron: Sightron does not have too much stuff that is new for the show, but they told me a couple of new things they are working on. I was asked to not disclose it yet, but it sounds interesting (and is right up my alley). There are a few new scope configurations and a few new binoculars. Still, Sightron has a pretty complete line-up and if you have not seen them yet, I highly recommend you check out [U]Sightron’s S2 Big Sky and S3 scopes. Of the currently in production stuff, I think these Sightrons are ultimately the best Japanese scopes in terms of optics.[/U] Keep your eyes out for upcoming models. They sound like they can cause quite a stir in their respective markets. The binoculars that attracted my attention are the redesigned SIII binoculars that now have ED glass in them. They looked good optically and had the now-popular split bridge design.[/I] Here's a link to his full report. I found it interesting and informative - just as I found Scott Berish's review. [url=http://www.opticstalk.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14733&PN=1]The Optics Talk Forums - SHOT Show 2009 impressions - Page 1[/url] I just purchased a Sightron SIII 6-24X50 Mil-Dot based on what I saw at Shot Show and what I've read about them. Better glass than Nightforce. [I]This will start a [B][U]firefight[/U][/B] for certain!![/I] I didn't know Sightron's could be had with custom reticles? Unless they provide an etched lens reticle, I don't think we'll have the option of obtaining anything like IOR MP-8 or NF NP-R1 or NP-R2. [/QUOTE]
