E. Mo.'s Review of SIG SAUER TANGO-MSR LPVO 1-8x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
Disclaimer: I'm fairly new to owning my own rifles & accessories, so my knowledge compared to seasoned, passionate gun owners & service members will not be on par, although I do spend hours on hours going down the rabbit hole and researching everything I can before purchasing, and writing reviews.
I love my Coyote Brown Tango-MSR 1-8x LPVO.
The glass is clear; construction solid; easy to mount with the included Alpha MSR cantilever mount; the Windage & Elevation adjustments are tactile and audible even when shooting out in nature & windy environments (without clicking too loud so the entire area can hear); and throw lever for zoom levels is buttery smooth with the right tension (for me). Many levels of illumination, and day bright at the highest couple of settings even in white-background, snowy settings. This scope is Second Focal Plane, and I have limited experience shooting on a First Focal Plane scope (one time, about 60 rounds) but I am a fan of both. The reticle is to my liking.
Downsides: Slight fisheye at lower zoom levels; some chromatic aberration at higher zoom levels -mainly stuff that is in foreground (closer) of target(s). The battery that came with the scope lasted for about 12 months, when using it fairly irregularly (went shooting about 5-6 times over the year.)
Personal error: I also over torqued my rail mount screws (for/on scope mount) well beyond the specified pressure. One of them held on, while the other did break. Many people complain about this happening below the specified pressure of 65 in/lbs, but considering one of my screws held at about 100+ in/lbs for about 600 rounds without losing zero, I'm not certain what to say to this. My screw breaking was my own fault, and no questions asked replacement Alpha MSR mount from Sig Sauer arrived about 10 days after I got hold of their busy customer service, which is a big plus.
The lesson? Use proper tools & specified settings for torque screws.
