I have a Sightron S11 bigsky 4-12x42 and love it.If I had the dollars I would own more of them let us know how it goes.
Re: Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LR MD
You won't be dissapointed, they are a great scope, i love mine.
Next time you pass someone with a nightforce, you can shake your head & mutter something like " poor bugger, paid that much for a scope no better than mine". just joking fella's

Oooh im eyeing off the same in either 8-32 dot reticle or 6-24 in dot reticle for my switchbarrel F open/Varmint gun. Lemme know how it goes. What did it cost you ?
Re: Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LR MD
$818 US delivered i think from memory pretty good price considering its suppose to be step behind the BR series. One thing ive read about the dot reticle is the dot is apparently quite large and many target shooters have the reticle adjusted. I like the target dot myself but i this kind of put me off and as i might do the odd bit of spotlighting i thought best not to go with the fine cross hair so went with the mil-dot. Should be here in a week i think!

Re: Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LR MD
The dot is twice the size of the target dot, from what I looked at, and thats not a big issue for me as it would be a combo scope anyway, its just a shame its not an illuminated dot for spotlighting. 1/4MOA dot is still pretty small and with 1/4 clicks its not hard to adjust with the same size dot.
Re: Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LR MD
Lol maybe I should have gone with the dot then!

Re: Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LR MD

Brad,
Go with the 8-32 you can always comeback to 24x but you cant go up to 30x with a 6-24. A straight 24x is also a good option for target shooting but might be annoting at times for hunting.
