For the money the Sightron SIII with exposed turrets are pretty good but to my eyes I prefer my Nightforce. The overall build quality and "feel" is better on the Nightforce (and so it should be for what they cost). I've got a NSX 5.5-22x56 MLR and a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 Mildot/Mil. The sightron is slightly lighter. If I was after another long range targety scope I wouldn't go for a 8-32 Sightron. Where I shoot the mirage doesn't allow the use of much over 25x so would have been better with a 6-24. Due to the reticle choice I'd go with a 2nd hand Nightforce as I prefer Mil's.
If Sightron was a better scope than Nightforce you would still have a bunch of people swearing black and blue that the NF was "hands down better" and "no comparison". It's so they can justify to themselves that the extra money was worth it.
The next lot of FFP sightrons have the mildot with 1/2 hash reticle. If only they done a zero stop.
I wanted a setup that would do the job well everytime for as little money as possible, so I bought a Savage and put a Sightron 6-24x on it. From the little experience I've had with NF I don't think they are twice as good as a Sightron, I couldn't justify spending the extra money on such little improvement.
However if the Sightron wasn't available then I would have bought a NF and it would have been justified to me. NF are great scopes but as for value compared to Sightron, no way.
Thats the one dislike of my scopes. Half mil dashes would make ranging and adjustments so much more accurate.Quote:

Id like a S111 if anyone has an off cast
