The Gun Pimp Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I like the Sightron and it's good having John Dean of Aimfield Sports as importer - any problems - see John. I need a repair to my Nightforce BR and the first job is to ring the USA and get a repair number............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagged 77 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 The 5.5-22 NXS is a belting scope, especially if going on a long range rifle like a .338 or .50 - lots of internal adjustment. Equally though the Sightron SIII 6-24's have 100 MOA internal adjustment and excellent glass. I've got two and run one on a .338, have also got the 8-32 and love the glass. I also have a 8-32 NXS and a 3.5-15 NXS (bought from tackb incidentally!) and they are really good rugged scopes with excellent glass. Both perform well mechanically and to my eyes Sightron's glass is every bit as good as Nightforice. However the NF NXS's are built to stand up to serious use and you can tell the difference in the way they're built. Buy either with confidence, especially 2nd hand. Sightron has a lifetime warranty and I don't think NF's is too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Boy Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Having had(and got rid of) a nightforce and having looked through a sightron I would take the sightron every time. In my view the glass is much better. All I hear about sightron's service is first class too so it would be sightron for me. Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20series Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sightron, I have two and I reckon they're the best value going. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan.308 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sightron , I have 4 sightron's and 1 NSX I think sightron wins hands down and 1/2 the price. Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6br Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've got the 5.5-25x56 nxs and the 8-32x56 nxs both in np2dd and I personally love them for foxing, vermin, long range ect. Best thing to do is have a look at both and see what suits your eyes the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwinnall Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Me too am not sure on your same choices. It looks like i'm going for a sightron. Next question is where to buy it from? There seems to be lots about.which one are you looking at? I am looking at the lrmoa 6-24. Phil :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sightron. I think the contrast is better than the NF. In fact, (or, my opinion at least) the sightron sight picture is as good as a pm11, had a look through one last week that was on a 'potential buy' list, and I could see no difference worth the extra £1100, and I prefer the MOA ret over the s&b too. Go for a sightron, you won't regret it. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildot Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have a sightron 8-32x56 moas that I bought new from the states and got stung for customs etc it still only cost £700 new. So a damn site cheaper than a second hand NXS. A mate has the 8-32x56 NXS which we compare side by side. The NXS wins in all areas. Better picture, better field of veiw etc etc. However when you consider the price difference the sightron wins. However if I was buying the sightron in the uk I would pay the extra and get the NXS... tbis was the decision from both of us. The test waz done for target shooting. We didnt test for hunting scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagger700 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I've 2 s111 that was thinking of putting up for sale.

Nowt much in em optic wise sightrons are good value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
