Who has one of these scopes and how would you rate them?

I've only talked to two guys that own em' They both say optics are on the order of the conquests and a rainguardlike coating that works. Couple these features with their good tracking and great warranty.....wow they just might sway me away from my conquest fixation!

I'm ready to buy a new scope now and wish there was somewhere around here I could go and actually look thru a big sky scope. Wish they would have went with an etched reticle Thats whats great about Maine......nobody stocks any of the newer scopes to go fondle

Same deal here almost impossible to find a Sightron dealer

Yeah you sound like you're in the same boat as me......I'm sure Jon at the optics zone would be a good dealer to buy from but I like to actually see thru a scope before I buy. So many things to check out.....is eye position critical, is the lens sharp and clear to the edges, is eye relief what they advertise, is the duplex too thin...or heavy....or jjjust right. Oh well, can always drive a couple hours south to actually see and hold one

I am betting that Cabelas and Basspro start stocking them in the forseeable future. I have been thinking of buying the 3-9x42 and looking thru it and deciding then whether to keep it or send it back. I bought the SIII 8x42 binos a while back because I felt guilty taking Leicas during whitetail deer season and only using them once or twice during the typical hunting day. Side by Side with my Leicas they weren't bad at all after looking at a field for a few straight days the difference was not that great. Either one would have allowed me to see a shootable deer during legal hours.

Graf & Sons and Lock, Stock, & Barrel will be carrying them as well with better prices. So will Bear Basin.
