Reviews & Ratings for Sightron SVSS 10-50x60mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane (SFP) — 2 reviews — Page 1

I'm using this as a target scope. I certainly wouldn't consider it for a hunting scope, unless you need to see the flees on a deer at 1000 yards while carrying an extra 4 lbs. of glass and metal... but as a target scope, it's amazing. The image is clear, the pupil exit diameter is large and linearly lit, and in short, for short (25 yards) to long (1 mile) target shooting there's nothing like it for the price.

I have had some really nice optics such as Steiner, Kahles, USO, IOR, Nightforce NXS and ATACRs. I currently have 4 Nightforce and one in particular has really great glass. Its a SFP NXS 5.5x22-56mm. So I got it out along side the SVSS. I set them first on 20X and started looking at various objects Tree leaves, bark, dirt, rocks mailboxes etc. Frankly I am shocked at how good the SVSS is. I am really picky about glass clarity and focus sharpness as a professional photographer. In a scope I am not super picky about color but contract I am and the SVSS is good here as well. The SVSS is right there with my very best NXS currently in my possession which means its way better than the Kahles 6-24 the USO 5-25, the Steiner 5-25. In fact I sold all them within a week because of poor glass compared to ATACR and NXS quality.

Even up to 30-40 and 50x power in good light the SVSS is very good. Of course the eye box gets small but the 60mm objective really helps pull in a lot of light. Another thing that is really nice is the dual wheel focus. It allows a super sharp focus that I love on a scope. I always thought the NXS was easily focused but the SVSS is better. In fact its a lot better.

The construction overall looks good and I like the size of the turrets. I got the 0.5mil turrets so they are only 5 mil per revolution but thats due to the small adjustment. The only negative on the turrets is that the clicks are a little mushy. Not bad, but not quite as positive as say an ATACR. Over...
