Thread: Sightron scopes - thoughts?

I'm getting some help from Dead Eye Dicks in Levin for a new rifle project, and they've recommended a Sightron SII Big Sky 3-9x42. Had never heard of this company before. The Big Sky series is made in Japan (earlier SII series made in Philippines). No one else in NZ seems to sell these, and I haven't been able to find any local reviews. Overseas (US / Europe) reviews seem pretty good though: good build quality/ optics/ light/ compact/ value for money. (Although value for money in NZ is a little hard to judge when no one else sells them ...) I'm leaning towards going with their recommendation, but keen to see if anyone here has any first-hand experience with them?

Thanks in advance.
