tony Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I had a Nightforce and now I have a Sightron, the glass is both as good as each other but I would say that the sightron has slightly better glass, this is my personal opinion and my not be everyones choice, and there is also the big price difference to consider. I dont think you would be disappointed in a Sightron. Cheers, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20series Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have both the 8-32 & 10-50 Sightrons and I feel the glass is slightly better in the 8-32 although both are good. my two penneth Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks tony do you find eye relief fussy or is it ok rob Rob, You may find the eye-relief very 'fussy' on the 10-50 Sightron - I did. In my opinion, the 8-32 is the better choice. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 In terms of just the glass I've got the 6-24 SIII and think its marginally better than my 8-32 NXS. The build quality of the Sightron is superb but nowhere in the Nightforce league - that's where the extra money goes... The eye relief on the Sightron is good and I don't find it too fussy.

oaken Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 what ret choice did you guy's decide on with your sightrons cheers jock unless you want metric, the moa reticle is hard to beat. It has an extremely fine floating dot surrounded by ladder type reticle with stadia that equate to 2moa @24x and 4moa @12x in the 6-24. It seemed cluttered after my Target Dot but is brilliant for calling shots. For example at 24mag, if your shot falls 1.5 stadia to the left that's 3mins so 12 clicks right and you are on. simple! The glass in my 8-32 target dot has to be seen to be believed. Compared to the equivalent NF, the image in both 6-24 & 8-32 is slightly higher contrast which makes it appear sharper and right to the edges too. It does however suffer from very minor colour fringeing in bright sunlight on high contrast subjects, like black and white targets. This is me looking with a very critical ex-photographers eyeand is all but undetectable without actually looking for it Money well spent imho.

22-250jock Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 thanks for the reply Rup, i'm thinking of getting a s111 8-32x56, but am undecided between the target dot or the moa. however after you explaination of using the moa i can now see the benefit for measuring shots dont think i,ve read a bad post against these scopes cheers jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
