Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Tango4 1-4x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP) — 4 reviews — Page 1

RETICLE: Let's get this out of the way. Yes, at 1x the reticle is quite fine, and illumination is necessary to pinpoint the center against a dark or busy background. Still, assuming you have good vision and know how to work a focus, it's much more usable than many reviews would have you believe, and the illumination is likewise brighter than sometimes described (see below). And once even partly magnified you get an excellent BDC, the details bold enough at the high end to be usable in most conditions despite going unilluminated. But there's no question this would have been better off as a SFP.

ILLUMINATION: The illumination has proven quite good, generally daylight bright and always daylight visible, and it roughly imitates a red dot at 1x. The dial also includes off clicks between brightness settings. Note, though, that under magnification you also get a reminder of why illumination is meant to highlight the etched reticle, not to be used as a reticle itself -- if you're not perfectly in the eyebox the illumination will pull off center and kind of dance around the real horseshoe, BUT it still does its job of clarifying the etched element you should actually aim with. A more genuine issue, though, is that when the illumination is turned on, even at a modest brightness, the glow creates a red flash which is very visible when looking at the scope from the front. If you're the kind of user who worries about the emitter being visible in red dots, this is not for you.

This is an excellent optic for the price. The FFP reticle is nearly unusable at 1x zoom, but very usable with illumination at 2x. Once you get above 2x the reticle is excellent. The scope illumination is great for low light and alright for daylight if you are standing in a shaded area. The reticle is clear enough that it's useful un-illuminated in bright light if the battery dies. The rang of settings for focus, windage, etc is so great that it's virtually impossible for you not to be able to sight in this scope, no matter your mounting configuration.

After doing extensive searching for a sig sauer tango4 1-4 with the zero stop turrets, I thought I finally found one,…. You guys show a picture of the model with the zero stop turrets, but I definitely did not get one with the zero stopped turrets ���
