Rifle Scopes Sightron sviii 5-40x56

That Sightron is a great dependable scope. I'm sure if you look you'll find darn near anything for sale on multiple forums
All indications are very positive. This is one scope that we sell, but I have no experience behind the wheel. Looking through the glass and having customers compare, I would have to give it thumbs up. I have not been impressed with the brand, but this model appears to have leap-frogged over other models. I had one customer who has a ZCO 8-40 tell me that he felt that Sightron was "close enough," and there is a lot of money between the two.
I would encourage you to get more hands-on opinions. We can help put one in your hands.
I own a few of them with both reticles. They're clearer than the Vortex Razor Gen 3 and so far zero issues with any of mine. They're closest to my March and kahles scopes at around half the price. They can be bought for around $2000-$2200 of you shop around and call for quotes over the phone which is a real steal for these scopes which are in fact the closest budget priced high end scopes to being true tier 1 level. The only negative is they're extremely heavy.
They've been on sale for much cheaper when they first were introduced over a year ago and they were priced $2000 and under and cheapest I've seen was $1800. Had I known how great they really were, I would have bought in early for the cheaper prices.
I would think people sell their Sightron SVIII scopes probably due to them being too heavy and need to free up cash to buy a lighter weight scope.
The only reason I would think of selling one of mine is if I was short on cash and wanted to order another lighter weight Burris XTR PRO or a lighter weight March FX wide angle super ED 5-42x which would mean I'd have to sell 2 SVIIIs.

I have that scope 5-40x56mm, and I just returned from a Prairie dog shoot in Montana. I also had Night Force ATACR 7-35x56mm. The glass between the two is equal, and I like the reticle in the ATACR better. I highly recommend this specific Sightron 5-40x56
I also have one and like it a lot. The guy who posted a year ago right above you makes throw levers for it. Here’s one in polymer, which I have and like it. They also make machined metal levers, but I’m not sure if for the S8.
