Sightron SIII 10x44 MMD - First blush review...

[Petervw]

first shoot with the 10x42 yesterday
it was a clear day and it did the job, consistent in clear/blurry and the combination of rangefinding by eye and checking with the scope worked fine
it didn't help on the standers though

What does, Peter, what does?

I can confirm that this scope is a great option for a .22 springer, mine being the SFS Specter - the 1/2 mill reticule and a range finder really help with a loopy .22 and I've got it nicely mapped from a zero of 25 yards, 30, 35, 40, 43, 46 and 50 yards.

Great clarity and a good weight/size.

Only ask I could possible have is perhaps an illuminated reticule option would be nice for dark-woods scenarios.

Is it just me, or has anybody else resorted to taping up their scope turrets? Very easy to move them if removing/replacing the gun into a carrier during competition I am afraid. Apart from that, the Sightron remains the best scope I have used to date, and is, to my eyes, the best I have used with the ability to blur the image with minimal parallax alterations, allowing reasonably accurate HFT ranging. Mine is set at 21yards.

I have not taped mine but I do zero the turrets to keep an eye on them. I have turned mine a couple of times putting it in an out of the bag. Fantastic scope apart from this, and I have owned and used most scopes out there for HFT. I started counting the number of scopes that I had owned for hunting and HFT over the years, and I stopped a over 40. These are quality though.

Now moved my parallax setting out to just over 28 yards as getting the odd miss at 40 plus with it set at 20.

same here mine is just under 30yds on the dial. afew weeks ago at southern hunters I picked my gun up and the top turret moved but I didn't know where it was before. it did balls me up a bit.
other than that they are great .
