Rifle Scopes Horus Scopes or Sightron SIII

[bdh308]

I just ordered a Sightron SIII LRMD but was wondering about optical clarity compared to the Horus scopes. I see lots of opinions on the Rectile of Horus but was wondering about sight picture and clarity on these things. The reason I ask I just saw one go for $500 on the Accessories list and was curious. I know Im goin to love my SIII cause Ive already played around with one but in the future you never know how things play out. From what I understand the Horus is a true Sniper rectile which can be use for accurate holdovers with the correct ballistics without having to dial in to a specific target. Whats everyones sight picture opinions?

Sightron hands down...Horus has a great reticle but IMO that's all it has.

Sightron. Better glass and internals.

Sightron. Just compared again today to my NF and they are pretty close. The Sightron warranty is good to. Better than what I read about Horus anyway, as I have never had to use it.

No experience with Horus, but the Sightron SIII has great glass for the money, and mine has had excellent tracking.

Well I always wonder when a scope goes for half of what it actually cost. Im sure the sightron will make me happy. Really the only thing that I would even consider a gripe about the Sightron would be the mildot not be actual till 24 times which is the highest power in the one I purchased. Im sure now that Ive bought one they will improve on that next yr and probably make a true tactical ffp and then I will be lurking once again. The cost will probably make its way up too though like the Vortex.

My Nightforce NPR2 reticle doesnt range till 22x

Ive got a S3 also, and couldnt be happier with it. Ive had it on my everyday rifle and its been handled pretty rough and dropped a couple times by mistake and so far the scope keeps on ticking..

I couldnt agree with you more Blackhawk. The SIII is so good I cant wait to see what they plan to do next. Everyone I know loves theirs as will I. Its just unfortunate though. I honestly think we got our SIII's just in time cause when they do improve its highly likely the price will double. You build a scope with optical quality like Sightron throw some true mil/mil dials on it set the rectile to FFP and BAM! You got a $1700 to $2000 scope. Oh and dont forget about Illumination. That can add another $100 on up in price.
