    BUY IT!!!

    If you cannot afford a NF the SIII Sightron is the closest thing to it that you will find, for half the cost. I have two 8-32x56's and love them. I had a 10-50x60 but made a trade for the one 8-32 and cash to free up some funds. It was just as nice as the 8-32's(except ALOt BIGGER).

    when you spend $800.00 for a Sightron 8X32X56 you are close to a Nightforce 8X32X56 Spend the extra $350.00 and not wished you had later. It will be the best $350.00 you ever spent and you will never be sorry you did. The best thing about Nightfroce scopes is you always can get over 90% of your money back and it wil sell in a flash.

    cant say it any better than pdog06, BUY IT ,I have a siii 8-32 ,6-24 and there WILL be more coming home!!! ;D,I've looked through NF's and I WILL stay with the sightron's for the money,not saying if a NF for the same $$$ comes up I wouldn't buy it,but the siii's are just TOO close to a NF for the money.
    shop around with local dealers and you can get the sightron 8-32 for under $700,cant do that with a NF,from what I've seen

    got to agree with viper and pdog.......BUY IT..........my 8-32 tracks great and is as clear as the few nightforces i have looked thru. i like them well enough to have a 10-50 on the brown truck as i type this due in tomorrow. now would i buy a NF if the price was the same? maybe....guess it would depend on the reticule i was looking for at the time.

    Re: sightron s3

    I have 2 Sightron SIII 6-24x50 scopes.They are really great scopes for the money.
    Great glass and tracking,along with 100moa of adjustment.
    IMO,my Sightron&#39;s are just as clear,and bright as my Swarovski PH scope that I have on my 300WM.
    I have thought about selling the Swarovski,and get another Sightron to put on that rifle.They are just that good!

    I&#39;m going to have to agree with almost everyone on here. I&#39;ve got the 6-24x50 LRMD and it is a great scope. Very clear and tons of adjustment to reach way out there.
