NEW Sightron 10-50x60 SV

[Sangoma (IAN)]

Lyk my Sightron het bietjie huiswerk gan doen. Ek sien die nuwe SV lyk of dit een helse nice teiken skiet scope kan wees!

34mm tube
Nuwe locking turrets, fine parallax verstelling
70 MOA elevation

Vir daai vergroting is 70MOA elevasie verstelling nie sleg nie.

Wat gaan die prys wees op die outjie in SA?

Dinge klink nie te hot in die Sightron stal nie.

Een van Ge se pelle was by die SHOT Show.

Nothing too interesting launched at SHOT show in the form of airrifles, except Sightron have launched an FT scope in their 10-50x60 line. It now comes with a "relatively" nice sidewheel, and a really stupid soft, long, floppy rubber eye cap - useless.... I told them to just dump the eye cap, as nobody would be able to use it. It's re-parallaxed from 8 yards to 60 yards - much like the Mk1 S&B FT.

The idiot at their stand first told me pricing was right at the US$1000 mark, and when I told him their current "non-sidewheel" version was in excess of $1300, a lady came by and said US$1500.... Which sounded more like the price. Go figure, they man their booth and have NO clue as to their own products.

Since Alan Orr "left" the company, it's less than inspiring. The sales guys at their booth were terrible, clueless and unenthusiastic to say the least. It's like they are adding products just for the sake of it.

Their new SV 34mm tubed scope is NOT that nice for the ridiculous suggested $2500 price tag. That's more money than the Nightforce ATACR and the same as the Vortex Gen II 4.5-27x56 Razor, and the Nightforce will kick it to kingdom come, the Vortex even more so.... just as a comparison for price-point. The Sightron feels and looks really, really cheap compared to the build quality of the NF or Gen 2 Razor. And who really needs a 34mm tubed scope for benchrest, unless you're trying to reach out way beyond 1000m and then you can't use the 50 mag on the Sightron in any case, as the optics become too hazy at 50x mag at +1000m...

Just my thoughts, but yeah...
