Sightron SIII FFP or ???

[Southern Boys Lawncare]

Im really thinking about getting one of these scopes. I like the reviews on how clear the glass is on this particular scope. Do y'all have any experience with this particular scope in low light situations?
My price range is $2000.

What scopes would y'all recommend if not this one?

My intentions are to hunt longer ranges as well as long range shooting.

The Sigh tron 3 is an excellent scope, they track very well. There is someone on snipers hide selling zero stop shims for them.

Thanks buck ill look into that for sure. the s 3 is a great price too. under 1000 and all the reviews i see are very positive!

Check out the Burris Veracity and XTR II. I have the 4-20x50 Veracity on my .270 AI and am very very pleased with it.

Those Burris do look nice

I also highly recommend the Burris XTRll, absolutely clear gglass and getting great reviews.

I am liking these Burris more and more. Always have wanted to try a Burris scope. Im wanting something that is really good for low light situations. How does the Burris do under these conditions?

so the veracity is better under low light then the XTR?

Sorry, I have no hands on experience with XTR II. Perhaps Bruce Ventura and others will chime in.

As far as low light use i think either one would be great. Burris' high end glass is some of the best I've seen. To my eyes it's very close to Swarovski. I compared an XTRII to a S&B at dusk and the Burris was not far off at all. I couldn't believe it. I'd say its even with the Nightforce ATACR.

I think the main difference between the verocity and xtrii is the tube size. Verocity is 30mm and has turret covers and the xtrii is 34mm tube with exposed turrets. Both have 50mm objective. They have ddifferent reticles as well. I'm partial to the xtrii's milrad reticle. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Found Bruce's comment ...

Burris has taken that to the extreme with the E1 optical designs. AFAIK, XTR II and Veracity models of the same magnification use the same optics as well. I spent more time looking at the Veracity models because I like the multi-purpose reticle designs. The Veracity scopes were typical of Burris optical quality: good resolution, high contrast, and no tunneling in the erector over 5:1 zoom ratio. I also recall seeing no obscuration at low magnification when the elevation was rotated to the limit.
