Reviews & Ratings for Sightmark 10-40x56mm Triple Duty Tactical Rifle Scope — 24 reviews — Page 1

If you're looking for a budget scope with high power for field Target this is a good one. The parallax focus is a very fine adjustment so you exactly what distance your at when you attach a large bwjerl or comma to it .You can zoom all the way in to get a good ranging on the distance and zoom back out and use the 10 to 25 power for the shot. The illuminated ratical works great in those hard to see Target locations. I have this scope in the 1/8 MOA adjustments so you can click exactly where you need the pellet to go. I've read some of the reviews where they say it 40 power it's cloudy,maybe they forget to use the sunshade. I don't know what distance they're looking at but for field Target you go out to 55 yards and at 40 power at 55 yards it's a very clear picture and when you use the parallax you know exactly when the target is in perfect focus. No one in field Target uses the 40 power to shoot with only to range with and then you back it out between 10 and 25 power to take the shot. The turret tracking is dead on and returns to zero every time. The only scope that I've seen that beats this scope is the sightron but it costs four times more. If the scope doesn't come with the screw in sunshade be sure to buy the sunshade it makes a big difference and gets rid of any glare. I also use this scope for small game hunting in the woods the illuminated radical has two different colors green and red with five different brightness options that really come in handy when you're aiming a...

Mounted my new Sightmark 10-40x56 scope on my Ruger M77/17 as soon as I got it. Sighted it in last weekend and have got it right on at 100 yards. I like the side focus knob, a lot handier than the adjusting the end of the scope. It's a bit shakey on max power, but that isn't the scope's fault. I've got more shooting to do to find out more about this scope, but I can tell already I'm extremely pleased with and is well worth the money.

Good product for the price, blurry on the high magnification, but decent product if you are looking for a budget long range optic. This is my second sightmark optic haven’t had any issues with either one as of yet. Mounted on a .308 Savage 10FCP-SR with quick detach mounts, taking on and off the rifle and returns to zero every time

Don't waste your money on this product. High magnification is like looking through fog. I can't get mine to focus at any setting. Going back to sightmark under warranty but I suspect I have an expensive paper weight.

I thought these looked great when I first bought one, so I bought two more. Big mistake. All three ended up back for warranty service because the reticle adjustments came off the tracks without a mechanical stop to prevent exceeding allowable adjustment.
The glass turned out to be typical Chinese Coke bottle junk that never quite focused and was very tiring on the eyes.
How many times do I have to (re)learn the lesson that "you get what you pay for", especially in Chinese optics.
Save your money and buy a Vortex or Bushnell. "Buy once, cry once".

Optics Planet was prompt as usual. I ordered on Thur morning and got it on Saturday.

It looks very well made and the glass looks bright and clear. I really like the reticle. It is duplex with thick bars that go to really thin ones in the center. But right at the center it is only a very tiny dot. You can illuminate that tiny dot with red or green if you like and adjust the brightness. If your battery goes dead you still have a scope that works great in the daytime.

I like the side focus, because I can focus easier with my eye looking through the scope. The scope rings, which some complained about, worked very well and were of perfect height. It was a nice touch because 30mm are more rare and I don't have to go out and look for them. Also the lens covers work fine. They fit tight and fit well. I would prefer the clear kind that you can see through, but as least I have some to cover the lens right now.

I am looking forward to going to my gun club tomorrow and shooting with it. I have it installed on a Savage B mag in 17 WSM. I fired two groups with that rifle at 100 yards with a 16 power scope and shot a 5/16" & a 3/8" group with it. That was with light rain and slight wind. I want to see what this rifle will do with no rain or no wind and a more powerful scope.

I am very pleased so far. I will report after I shoot with it.

I know some reviews out there are put in by people paid by the company's to make their product look good but this is not one of those reviews. I am fairly new to the gun and scope world. I bought my first gun in the summer of 2014 and have since adde to my collection. Finally when I had the two rifles I really wanted, I had to do homework on rifle scopes. I knew absolutely nothing about rifle scopes (as do most gun owners still and those new to the shooting scene). Simply put, what I learned is this: if you're looking for a really good,long-range scope, anything over 20x zoom needs a parallax adjustment. In other words you need a scope that has a focus knob or "turret". Onto the scope. I've spent hours of free time shopping online, comparing prices, review, and magnification. I even looked at scopes in the stores. The most common magnification I found is up to 10x zoom. For those who want much higher magnification for truly long range shooting, buy the sightmark 10-40x56 rifle scope!!!!! It's lowest magnification is 10x zoom and the highest magnification is 40x zoom. I will tell you that between 32 and 40x zoom the image gets very slightly cloudy but you can still see your target clearly to make your shot. It has a focus that ranges from 10 yards to infinity and it works really well. The wind age and elevation turrets have 1/8 MOA. That's minute of angle (I believe 1 minute of angle is one inch). Also, the turrets lock so once you're zeroed it should stay zeroed. It also has ...

Mounted on a savage 7mm rem mag, works great. Sighted in at 200yds,with less than 1 in pattern! Can't wait to use at a longer distance. Only draw back is its a 2nd focal pane scope, so don't plan on ranging with it.

Purchased two of the duplex dot for a couple long range budget builds. OP said it was not illuminated, manufacture said it was.. Manufacturer, thankfully was right. Duplex Dot, dot is illuminated. Great guy I spoke with at sightmark, he said if there was any problem he would make it good.. Packaging was great, My buddy and I slowly slid the silky box cover up, swear we heard angels singing, we then saw the light, a lot of light.. Really crisp clarity. I've read some reviews about edge fuzzyness at 40x, We simply didn't notice any.

If your looking for a good 5-700yd optic without breaking the bank, this is the scope your looking for. positive clicks, resets, zero, side focus is really nice and smooth. Paired them up with EGW 20moa and set of Burris Xtreme rings. Just a beautiful setup for the money you can't go wrong with the quality of this scope without spending a small fortune. Cannot comment on magnum cals, but for a couple .308s it's been flawless for the first 400 or so rounds and counting. Never thought a savage could look so awesome.. Great job Sightmark.

Could not believe the quality for the price. Image is very sharp from edge to edge at 30x and under. Slightly fuzzy above 30x, but still acceptable. Very solidly built. Clicks are positive, distinct and audible. Can't speak to repeatability of adjustments because I hold over/off and don't plan to change anything once it's zeroed.
Rings are very good considering they're included in the price. Only substandard parts are the flip open covers, but again they're included basically for free. Rear cover was split, but customer service quickly sent me a new one no questions asked. Mil dots are perfectly small and don't obscure the field. I bought two more after seeing the first one.
