Reviews & Ratings for Sightron SIII SS Long Range 10-50x60mm 30mm Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane — 49 reviews — Page 1

I have three of these scopes on my benchrest rifles. Excellent optic for benchrest, I recommend it.

Great scope and want be disappointed .i own a few of these scopes and they are worth the money

The mechanics of this scope to work great but the clarity is not what i expected of a $1300 optic. It has a great picture until you get over 30x then it seems to fall apart. Turrets are Great...

Good Glass but horrible turrets. Glass is good, but not as good as the similar priced Athlon Ares ETR 15-60x56. The turret knob attachment to the turret stems is the Achilles heel of this scope. Three extremely tiny and too short pointed tip screws are tightened against a stem with a useless circumferential groove. The inside of the knob doesn't even have have a collar to assist in alignment of the knob on the stem. If the knob isn't perfectly centered and flush against the top of the stem, the tiny short screws will not tighten against the circumferential grooved stem, preventing attachment of the knob. If you every plan on "zeroing" a scope, buy something else. All Sightron wants to talk about is glass quality. They have glass quality, but nothing else. The unit is basically a thousand dollar paperweight.

I shoot Benchrest Rimfire & was needing high power & clear glass. This definitely does the job. Like it so well I ordered a second one for another Benchrest rifle. Highly recommended.

Great scope for ARA Benchrest - chose fine cross hairs with dot
This is my second scope
Very clear great price

Vary clear and accurate adjustments. Great Scope it works grate on my 22 target rifle

If Sightron had decent turret knobs this scope would easily be a 5 star and highly recommended. Unfortunately the attachment method for the turret knobs are absolutely the worse I've seen. Even worse than those on the "free scope" that came mounted on a $169 Savage Axis Rifle I bought about 5 years ago. The knobs are attached with 3 TINY pointed tip allen screw that require a 1.27mm allen wrench. A magnification glass is needed just to the see the screws and the hole in the knob is so deep a magnetic bit holder won't work. The screws tighten against a hollowed out area of the turret stem and are just too SHORT. If you accidentally tighten one of the tiny extremely short screws too much then it'll fall into the hollowed out area and are too TINY to be located.

When I say TINY, I mean magnification glass is required to see them!

I highly recommended avoiding Sightron Scopes until they fix the turret knob issues which is a total shame because everything else is perfect.

Can't give a review on THIS scope because I still don't have it (almost 2 mos ordered). I ordered this scope because I have another one & I like it. Didn't know I would have to wait this long to get another one. I see this scope advertised on yahoo so there must be some in stock.

The scope came quickly. I put it on a .22 target rifle and will use it on bigger calibers.
The scope is very clear and the adjustment work accurately. I love the fine crosshair and dot reticle. It must have very good glass because it is easy to see through without eye strain.
