Reviews & Ratings for SightMark Latitude 6.5-25x56 PRS Rifle Scope — 2 reviews — Page 1

With the latitude being attached to a Bushmaster, it made the gun very heavy for me to hold. Even though it ended up being heavy, it was a great optic to use. I would just recommend for future use, I would like to have it resting on something instead of holding it myself.

I purchased my Sightmark Latitude PRS from another place. I first bought a Sightmark Triple Duty 6-25x56 SFP MDD (Mil-Dot Dot) which I am very fond of. The diopter range for it is (-3 to +3). The eyepiece all the way inward is the best setting for me on most rifle scopes. When I called Sightmark and asked about the Latitude line of optics, I was told that they had better glass than the Triple Duty line but the glass is not considered high density (HD). I have a Falcon Optics S18i that's not considered (HD) and it's amazing - so I took a chance on the Sightmark Latitude PRS. I was not impressed with the clarity in my sight picture. There was a lot of "purple fringing" and the Eye Box is small/tight. The Triple Duty looks much better to me - possibly due to the Latitude PRS diopter range only being (-2 to +2). A friend of mine whose diopter/eyepiece setting is usually always extended 1/2 way towards the shooter thinks the Latitude PRS is optically better than the Triple Duty because his eye sight falls into the range. Even with his eyes falling into range, he noticed "purple fringing" and TIGHT Eye Box - especially at higher magnifications. I would have opted for the Hi-Lux Phenom 5-30x56 FFP if I knew then what I know know. I already have the Hi-Lux Unidial 5-30x56 SFP but the Sightmark Latitude PRS has more features which got me. I would have liked for Sightmark to have labeled the numbers on the windage turret with L & R (Left & Right) like they did on the Latitude Benchr...
