Rifle Scopes Sig Sauer Tango 6 Question

[austinguydirk]

I was looking at the Tango 6 3-18x vs the Tango 6 4-24x when I noticed something interesting/confusing on the sig website. The 3-18x states that it is "Ideal for mid-range/long-range tactical engagements and hunting" while the 4-24x states "Ideal for mid-range tactical engagements and hunting" . From what I can tell, they have the same features and reticles. Wondering if anyone knows why the beefier optic does not suggest long range use?


Thanks,
Dirk

They both would be great at long Range. My bet is the marketing department that wrote that doesn’t even shoot. Lol

 

[Iron Worker]

Marketing department also picked the color .

Grey doesn't get picked up as prominently under NV, so, must be a tactical decision!

If a company made the best scope optically, but they only offered it in pink, would you guys cross it off the list?

I’m not an “operator”. I would run fluorescent pink. Lol

That's what Krylon is for.

I'm not sure my friends would let me hold on to my man card if I was rocking a pink optic.

It might have something to do with the differences in internal adjustment between the two models... 3-18X is 95 MOA/28 mil and the 4-24X is 80 MOA/23 mil...

The Sig Optics website is the absolute worst. Not only is there missing information, but some of it is wrong.

Skip the Tango 6 and get a Nightforce or Vortex Razor HD.

Does anyone know how much elevation the Tango 6 4-24x50 and/or 5-30x56 have?

The 5-30 has 23 mils of adjustment. Personally have a couple and think they are a great scope. But the color doesn't bother me so..........

 

[koshkin]

The 4-24x50 has 27mrad, I think. I can check when I get home.

Agree, I have two. The glass is great for the price I got them for and i really like the Dev-L reticle.

How do you think these compare to others in the price range?

I like the DevL reticle a lot. I have not tested the 5-30x56, but 4-24x50 is a very respectable design. I do not like the weight very much, but aside from that, it is a very solid design. Optically, AMG is better side by side, so is Delta Stryker, but Tango 6 is not bad at all.

Other than the weight, I really do not have any complaints.

thanks good to hear, ive got a 3-18 with the devl on the way. it is very heavy not thrilled about that but everything else about it seems good so far.

FWIW, I have a problem with my Tango 6. The elevation turret does not match up to the hash mark on the scope, it is somewhere in between. I can never tell if its .1 MIL high or .1 MIL low. I sent it back to Sig, and they just told me that is the way they are and sent it back.

 

[Hoyt7mm]

Thanks guys. I have a line on getting a Tango 6 for a pretty good price...just want to clarify if you are all referring to the gen 1 or gen 2 versions?
