Looks like I can get a good deal on the Sightron but weighing my options. Like the mil reticle on it more then the Bushnell, but the Bushnell is highly recommended on this site. Any pointers?
 
i have had both and i currently use a bushnell 4.5x18x44 ltrsi on my ACR DMR. in my personal opinion its a league above the sightron. I actually like the bushnell more then the nightforce nxs series. But the sightron does have that advantage of magnification.
 
If you want junk get the sightron
There really is no comparison between those two scopes
It is quite obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about.

I do own and use both of those exact scopes. If you are calling the Sightron scope junk then it it obvious that you have never used one.
 
Ok, I don’t know how to do a poll.....but it does look like the Bushnell would be the recommendation. I do like the sIIISs624 reticle but Doug’s offer is a hell of a deal.....now to decide what rings/ mount. My existing setup are seekins. Thanks for the responses.

Seekins are great rings, so if they work out to being the proper height for you and your setup, run ‘em! That’s most of what I’m using at the moment.

its funny how you want to feel better about you poor purchase making decision...... but carry on


I've been using sightron scopes for 20 years now. They've held up great. I've seen a couple with issues, but they were over 10 years old and beat to hell before they failed. Warranty was taken care of.

What exactly makes them so horrible?
 
I have the 6-24 FFP Sightron and the scope is a good deal at the street price especially if it’s not like mine that didn’t have the zero stop. They are a sleeper for sure. Glass wise which is subjective is better than my pst2 ares, and XTR 2. The 5mil rotation sucks but I don’t have It on a rifle I typically take that far out. The sale going on right now is a steal imo. Over on LRH.com they have a cult following.

That sums it up fairly.
 
Okay so I don't know how I just saw what the SII are going for until today.

What a good deal - I wouldn't hesitate picking one of those up in a heartbeat.
