Rifle Scopes Sale on Sig Tango 4 6-24x50 worth it?

[SwiftScope]

Dvor has the tango 4 6-24x50 with ballistic elevation turret for $650 brand new.

ive read that the glass leaves a lot to be desired and some other marks but at this price is it worth a shot?

here is the link,

I really like the Tango 6 scopes, and while the glass isn't in the TT or S&B class, neither is the price of the optics. To my eyes, it's a (smallish) step above the glass in the 1st gen Athlon Cronus.

Anyhow, at that price, it's a no-brainer, IMO, as long as you're an MOA (rather than MIL) user.

Edit- forget what I said above; it still pertains to the Tango 6, but I have no experience at all with anything in the Tango 4 line. My bad for misreading the subject and Dvor listing.

The Tango 4 has been plagued with illumination/parallax knobs that fall off. I messed with one at my LGS. It was meh. I did like the locking turrets though.

It's worth the $. I've had 3 tango 4's. A 3-12x42 moa milling ret., 4-16x44 moa Dev-L, 6-24x50 Moa Dev-L. I sold all of them. I've moved on to the Tango 6 line. I bought a 4-24x50 Moa dev-L this summer for a bolt gun. I'm about to buy another 3-18x44 for a AR-10. I thought the Tango 4 glass was on par with the Burris XTR 2 line. Turrets are small, but I did like the locking feature. There was a little bit of a tube affect (tunneling at all mag.) it wasn't a deal breaker, but noticeable. The gen 2 Pst's are better in every way!

Interesting, this very thing just happened to my brother's tango 4.

That's probably number nine or ten I've heard about.

so it seems like there are some underlying issues, I think im gonna hold off. seems like a great deal but id rather just wait.

Thanks for all the input!

Tango 4 = Vortex's original PST scopes IMO.

Not worth the money with the current Athlon offerings.

That is a pretty good comparison. We stopped carrying the Tango 4. It is just not reliable. Tango 6 is a different story, even though they look alike. T-6 is a very good scope.

In that price range, I would consider NF SHV, Leupold Mark 5 (probably more than T-4), Athlon and Steiner T5Xi.
