Many US scope manufacturers have been around for years and years. I consider Sightron to be the "new kids on the block". Starting in 1994, just 16 short years ago, they have come a long way and have made a substantial footprint in today's sporting optics market. Sightron, located in Youngsville North Carolina, is earning a reputation for the high quality of their rifle scopes. They are no doubt raising the eyebrows of king pins like Leupold, Nikon, and Burris. Dollar for dollar, the reliability, durability and repeat performance of a Sightron rifle scope cannot be ignored. Simply put these rifle scopes equal precision optical equipment. They are designed, tested and retested for sportsmen by sportsman.
Sightron holds the patent on ExacTrack. It is the most revolutionary breakthrough in modern shooting history. This Windage and Elevation Adjustment System, features an exclusive erector tube that keeps a positive, flush point of contact, from zero alignment through even the most dramatic adjustments. In other words, you will never experience drift. Sightron scopes are as durable as any scopes on the market today because they are built on one piece, one inch aluminum main tubes. The lenses feature the Sightron's "ZACT-7 Revcoat", 7 layer coatings. The scopes are nitrogen filled, waterproof, fog proof and shock proof. It is well known that these great rifle scopes can withstand all the harsh environments that any hunting situation may present. All Sightron scopes provide excellent viewing capabilities, with extremely crisp, clear, undistorted images.
Sightron has a rifle scope to suit every hunter and budget and they all boast the famous Sightron lifetime warranty.
Today Sightron offers three impressive lines of rifle scopes. The Sl Series, the Sll Series including the "Big Sky" and the Slll Series. They also manufacture some of the most durable, high quality and comparatively priced binoculars and spotting scopes on the market.
Sl Series - These scopes feature multi coated objectives and ocular lenses for superior performances. They have the unique 720 degree focus system. Generally speaking these are the less expensive of Sightron's lines.
Sll Series - These are the most popular scopes and Sightron offers more available models than the SI and Slll lines. Sll and the Sll Big Sky series have features found in scopes costing hundreds of dollars more. This is Sightron's mid-range line and generally more expensive than the Sl series scopes.
Slll Series - The Cadillac of the Sightron S Series. They offer the long range series featuring 30mm tubes for extra strength and better light transmission. They are more than twice the thickness of many other scopes in the same class. These scopes are preferred by many big game hunters. This is Sightrons top of the line S series and is generally more expensive then the Sll models.
At 54 years old, I have hunted most of the United States for big game. My son has now come of age and enjoys hunting with his Dad. In the fall of 2009 we bought him his first big game rifle, a 7 mm-Mag and decided after everything that we had learned about Sightron's quality that it was time to give them a "shot". We equipped his new rifle with the Sightron Slll Series, 3.5-10x44, long range, mil dot reticle, scope and off to northern Arizona we flew. As we expected conditions were horrible, and the snow was deep, but we had an excellent hunt. On day four, he shot his first mule deer, a nice 4x4 rack, but by no means a trophy. I have always been a diehard Leupold man. I own many firearms and I have always equipped them with Leupold scopes but I must admit, I was absolutely amazed at the quality, durability and excellent viewing clarity that this Sightron scope provided. I may just go as far as to say that I am now a Leupold AND a Sightron man. I thank Leupold for a lifetime of hunting memories and Sightron for a future of brand new ones.
