Thread: LR scope recommendations

The problem with the Bushnell turrets is that they are HUGE as mentioned and the set screw acts as leverage into the mechanism - like a crowbar into the scope when you bump the turrets. Same construction as the Zeiss Conquest that usually breaks down.

https://theopticzone.com/products-pa...mil-dot-matte/ . I just got this sent over and it is beautiful. All of the NRA guys are using Sightron SII and SIII. Good glass and great repeat ability and very positive clicks. I easily as good as a NF in my opinion. Can't go wrong.

Good onya thanks savage1, did you get stung by customs on the way through? At that price is it worth going to the VX3 6.5-20x50 with target turrets? https://theopticzone.com/products-pa...-duplex-matte/
I know Brian rates the Sightron, I've never owned one.

Edit - While I'm at it, have a look at the 2nd-to-last comment under the features in that VX3 page, 24 carat gold plated ring and medallion? Really? Gold? I thought it was just painted!

Yea its suppost to be.
Gold ring stuff has full warranty green ring stuff limited warranty

I personally think the Sightron is a better scope than the Leupold. I think you are paying for the name with the Leupold. I got stung by customs but it still came in quite cheap. Looking back I will buy my next one from the terminal ballistics. Try and support the locals.

Thar is selling a Leupold with target turrets soon

That's what you think Maybe. VX3, M1 turrents. As new. What's it worth?

The going rate for things on here seems to be a mince pie

Sightron SIII 6-24 X 50 Black Matte, Mil Dot, SIII624x50MD/CM, Rifle Scope: Arcadian Sales

Photo is not of the scope listed I think as the CM version is exposed turrets like OZ has in their Pic...

I like the sightron glass and SIII tracking but not dialed the upper end loppy scopes so can't compare, looking through glass I feel is better but mechanics is where it counts most

Can you please post some photos of the turrets? I've just bought the 3.5-10 model and would like to see the turret configuration.

Cheers

I just picked up my 3gun scope - Trijicon - The glass BLOWS Loopie and Nightforce WELL into the weeds - noticeable difference

I might get the big one for my RUM - 12 per REV - and click are very positive - not Nightforce though.

Yip very nice glass but the 4-20? I looked at only had a total of 48moa travel...not enough to be working away from the edge of adjustment unless you put it on a 10moa base and have a flatish shooting rifle

Ya - 10 or 20 MOA base would be a goer
