Considering the Sightron S-TAC 4-20

[jnr88]

Is anyone using this sight. This is for 50 yard rimfire matches out to 200 yard steel. Thanks for any feedback.

 

[Radar]

Yes...I have them a several rifles and they have been very good for the money. The turrets are easy to read and they track/hold poi very well,so far.

I have one that i've run on several different rifles.
Did fine for my first F-Open match with my 7mm-08AI.

But....

On my wifes 223 Rem, shooting short range, i strugle to see bullet holes. Add in some mirage, and it gets really hard at 200 yards. Forget about 300+.

That said, for the money, glass is ok. The capped turrets are TALL, but work well.
And i do like the center target dot reticle.

I run EGW one piece bases (which are tall), and usually low rings. The zoom ring is a little thick, so medium height rings may be needed.

The zoom ring just clears an EGW 0 moa rail with Burris low tactical rings, so I have used mediums on several rifles with my s-tacs. Low light conditions, hunting, the moa2 dot is hard to see. I have never had an issue with any and I recently purchased 2.5-10 hunter reticle and will use it this fall elk/deer hunt. Can hear and feel clicks.

Thanks forum members for the quick response. Overall everyone is very positive. I think I’ll give one a try.

I own 4 of them. Had one that parallax would not focus on. Sent it in 2 weeks ago. One week later they sent me a brand new one. I would not hesitate to buy a 5th. Longest shots taken was at 1,025 yards. I could see just fine untill the heat kicked in and Mirage got too bad. With that could not see clear with my vortex razor then eather. If you look from time to time optics planet and midway put them on sale. I know another forum member on here sales them. I have not paid over $380 for any of them. I recommend the moa2 retical over the duplex. Just my opinion.

 

[jnr88]

Is there a reason to prefer the MOA reticle over the duplex?

 

[squirrel man]

I also agree they are great Scopes I have three of them I will not hesitate to buy another or a good middle-of-the-road budget option

Holdover.
It's nice to be able to use the reticle to holdover. Faster in a hunting scenario also.
