FFP Sightron 6-24x50 Coyote video AT 495 yrds.

Fordevr · #1 03-01-2017, 11:59 AM

Recently took this video and I am really liking the scope. It is a Sightron FFP scope SIII 6-24x50 and the cross hairs are nice and fine even at almost 500 yards it is 1.25inches and 2.5 inches at 1000yrds. Like it so much I'm getting another. There is no kill shot for a few reasons but mostly it wasn't on my property and to far for me right now, maybe one day. Hope you enjoy the video.

Nice. What rifle do you have it on?

They are best in class, IMO. Have 3 of them, all FFP/Mils.

Nice video!
However, the 'tilted' reticle looked a bit odd.........

Agree. I don't think I could see cross hairs on a coyote and not shoot it.

.243 Thompson Center Icon but as soon as I can get another one it will be going on the Tikka T3 SS Heavy Barrel Varmint in .204 Ruger.

Agreed. I was in a hurry to mount the iscope to the sightron and didn't notice til after.

I'm loving them so far. I'm shocked that more ppl don't have them. Poor marketing I'm thinking. I wish they would hire me to market these. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Yeah. She must not have caught the snip about it being on land he didn't have permission for.

I still wish I had of been able to afford the extra $400 to buy a Sightron, but this Vortex HS-T is performing just fine for now.

I reall like that Sightron reticle though !

My buddy has the vortex hst and we did a brief side by side comaparison. Both are very similar in glass clarity and low light. I like the sightron 2 Moa Reticle also if I had any criticism for the sightron it would be the side focus and magnification dials are very stiff. Other than that it's A+++ all the way. I would love to take more videos with kill shots but it's just not worth all the hassle from non hunters.

If there was a kill shot I probably wouldn't have posted it. 🙂

Sightrons are great scopes for the money. I dont like the 2 moa spacing and no zero stop. Clicks on the turrets are not quite as positive as an NXS.

Fordevr · #14 03-06-2017, 01:13 AM

Hard to compare to a nxs when I can get a FFP in 6-24x50 for $1650 not sure what a NXS is but I would think it's wayyy more. There is a $6000 sightron I wish I could try. Even the $3000 ones would be amazing but outta my league.
