Sightron SIII 8-32x56

Post by Brad Y »

New F class scope arrived today...

Its the SIII 8-32x56 target model with 1/8 dot and 1/8 clicks. Very very very clear looking down it. Clicks feel very positive and its got the full vernier for elevation and windage. Hopefully the new barrel is ready for sunday. YEW!

Whats the eye relief on that bad boy on 32x? A mate of min has a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24X50 an the eye relief is bloody awful on 24x.

It is a great scope. Shoots very very well. Much better being in the paddock at Yass than stuck in your safe Trevort. :lol:

Mine is the target dot model. Eye relief is amazing. Even with it cranked up on 32 power. Using it on sunday at 500m so will see just how the adjustments go. Its all mounted up on the rifle ready to go for a run in tomorrow.

Ive read reviews comparing it to BR series nightforces. Wont say anything now, but a guy who uses BR series nightforces will be taking a good look down this one for poops and giggles sunday while Im playing with his barnard 6.5x47 lapua.
