I'm not new to it but I wouldn't say I'm experienced in it enough to offer any fair comparisons.
I used to have a Sightron. I don't even remember the model as this was back in 1997. It was a good scope, not a great scope but looking through some of the newer models they seem even better.
I'm considering one of thier newer models with the tactical turrets and I was just curious has anyone tried these on a heavy recoiling gun with numerous rounds having been sent down range?
I'm considering one for a Sako TRG-42 in .338 Lapua and I'd be curious if anyone experienced issues. I was recently reading a thread on another forum where the instructor mentioned he observed a NF, Leupold, and S&B fail during a .50 cal course. He's a USO fan but speaks highly of these other scopes and stated that he has even seen USO scopes fail, so after speaking with him I consider him pretty fair in his judgements.
I don't consider throwing a gun down a cliff a good comparison as you can throw any scope down a cliff and if it hits a certain spot on that scope it will fail. Heavy recoil though I do consider very imporatant when considering scopes strentgh and I'd like to know if anyone is running a Sightron on a .338 Lapua and if so how has it held up? Also if you could advise as to what gun, muzzle brake, and if a suppressor was used or not, I'd greatly appreciate hearing what the experience was. </div></div>
Here's mine on top of a .338LM. Haven't had a chance to shoot it extensively yet as I only got the scope a month or so back. However so far so good. All I can say is that it exceeds my expectations and I believe it to be excellent value for money.

Been using a 3.5-10x56mm Sightron on a 338 EDGE for a few months,mounted in Seekins rings it also survived a rollover accident on a mountain under a 4wheeler with no damage.Damned decent tracking and glass for the $$$$$.Not my Zeiss Victory,but neither is the price,
