How is:
Glass clarity
Coatings
Tracking
Turrets (feel, feedback)
Ease of focus at high magnification

I have had a couple of the S iii
6-24 and 8-32
Overall a nice scope
Tracking is very good, repeatable and goes back to zero.
clarity is good especially for the money
Turrets are ok, they do feel a little mushy and not anywhere as solid as a nightforce. Or as solid as the New gen 2 PST
They focus ok at higher magnification, the eye box is not as forgiving as other more expensive scopes. But they are more expensive so you cant really compare them.
I have compared them to a nightofrce and there is a difference.
I took my daughter and a friend of hers out to shoot gongs one evening. We were shooting at 700 yards and shooting west, it was evening and the sun was going down, so a bit of a glare.
They shot 2 of my guns, one with the Siii 8-32 and the other a Nsx 5-22.
After we were done shootnig i asked what scope was better? They both chose the NSX. These are not girls that would have any idea what one cost more. LOL
So that was there opinion. But the NSX is almost twice the money so it should be a better scope.
I would buy another Sighton if I needed a scope. I am also very impressed with the new Vortex Gen 2. I would give an edge to that one.
Just my 2 cents worth.
