Just bring back the SII and SIII lines with lock ring occulars for hunting rifles.
Cleaner lines for hunting rifles, abilty to use low rings and have bolt throw clearance
For us dinosaurs that dont need to dail or care for huge diameter fast focus occular bells.
Was a Leupold fanboy from 1978 79 to 2017.
Now I'm the posterchild for Sightron SII 3-9x42 scopes.
They adjust per stated value.
Track correctly
And hold zero.
Unlike the chase zero game with leupold,s scopes trying to find the magic adjustment spot....
IME.....
Ymmv....
Very nice renegade. I recently depleted my scope fund, or I would have tried one of the Sightrons Doug has offered. Looks like a damn good deal on these scopes. I can't believe the discount on some of these models.. That Sightron SII 3-9x42 is one I've always wondered about. I'll eventually buy one..
Playing around with my new scope today.. ^^^^
River Rider IIRC from Texas had a couple for sale about a month or 2 ago.
Was tempted to buy a spare myself.
Alot of people bought em on here from Sierra ???
3 or 4 years ago.
Discontinued model.
Along with many others in the old SII and SIII big sky lineup.
They can be found surfing on the web.
3 of mine were bought from members on here.
4th was found from some obscure mom and pop shop up in Wisconsin on the web.
Had a SI 3-9x40 long ago on daughters 20 ga USH shooting 410 gr discarding sabot hastings slugs
350 gr projectile
Put the dope for 250 gr SST,s on it for her when she deer hunted with me.
With those hastings slugs for me.
It was probably the hardest recoiling long I have shot.
3 yrs
Never lost zero using each load and putting the dope back on between either.
Shoulda never sold that gun actually.....
Oh well my savage 220 is waaaay better......
