The Objective focus os only calibrated at infinity. It will be necessary to calibrate the objective to assure parallax-free use.

I mounted this on a savage LRP .243 I really bought it for another gun and thought it was to much scope for the application, but I am happy with it and will order another. I do not have any 8x32's to do a side by side comparison, but I have many leupolds, nikons, a vortex and a swaroski. For the price I think sightons are hard to beat, its my second sightron and they make great scopes

These scopes have fantastic glass, great resolution, color, even in low light this optic impressed me. Tracked true, returned to zero, I didn't see a shift in POI when adjusting power, turrets are a stout thud, no mush.

I purchased this scope to replace my Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 because I wanted a higher power rifle scope. The glass on the Sightron SIII is definitely a step above the Vortex PST. Its extremely clear and I really like the MOA Dot Reticle. The side focus is very tight but nothing you can't deal with. Eye relief is perfect right under 4". It is mounted to a heavy barreled AR-15 with Magpul PRS stock. Windage and Elevation knobs have very firm clicks, 1/4moa, and tracked perfectly shooting a box at 100 yards. All in all I'm extremely happy with this scope and would recommend it to anyone who is considering purchasing.

This is the best value in long range target scopes. The addition of 1/8 clicks makes it excellent for 600 to 1000 yard targets. Typicall excellent glass and tracking the Sightron III's offer.

I'm a 1,000 yard benchrest shooter shooting a 6" targets, Seeing where a bullet hits is critical for shot correction and winning. I have used Sightron SIII 6=24x50 when shooting 600 yard competition with excellent results, but it didn't have enough clarity and sharpness for 1,000 yards. Decided to try 8-32x56 SIII and was amazed. The addition of 6mm to the objective lens adds a tremendous amount of light and clarity. Whatever change they made to their lens coatings sure worked. Low light conditions are easily handled by this scope. It rivals my Nightforce at half the cost. Defintely a BEST BUY!
