New Sightron 36X ED target scope/ looking for reviews

[Wellington]

Looking at this scope as it seems to be the best value. 100-300 yds for score shooting. Interested in how it resolves .224 holes in the black at 300 yds. Also a comparison to the same scope 45X.

Best I can tell the 45 and 36X ED models are the same size and cost the same. I went with the 45x and love it so far. Mirage is not as much of a problem as I thought it would be. Dunno about seeing .22 holes in the black @ 300.

RKS,

I believe your comments are about the older 36x S11 competition. There is a recent introduction by Sightron of a 36x version of the 45x S111 Competition ED which I suspect the OP is referring to. Price is the same as are the dimensions. Check out the website.

They are equal glass and equal price

Good luck in seeing .22 holes in the black at 300 yds. I can't even do that reliably with my Pentax 15-60 x 80mm spotting scope on a hot summer day due to the mirage. If you want to see in-the-black .22 holes at anything over 200 yds., especially on a hot, muggy day get a camera system.

If you find a rifle scope that'll spot .22 holes in the black at 300 yds, let me know, will you? It'll be a first for me. Maybe on a cool, dry, mirage-free morning, I dunno. I've never had one of those that I can remember.

For our 300yd fclass matches the targets are not marked and scored after every shot, only at the end on the 20 shot string. We place a bright chartreuse board approx 4ft behind the black target and the shot holes stand out.

A month ago I purchased a new 45X45 Ed from Lance on this board. I mounted it on my Anschutz 1413 and shot one 100 yd. outdoor F-class match with it (took 3rd in my class). I am extremely please! The glass is very good. Great value for the money! Order it from Lance, significantly cheaper than anywhere else and faster delivery.

I never thought of that perspective, I feel for you guys. Where I live the only time I deal with Mirage is early morning in the spring, the rest of the time.... never see it.

Love mine that I got from Lance.

You can clearly see the mirage but it doesn't muddy up the target image, which is exactly what you want.

Good shootin' -Al

I couldn't agree more. I received one just like it this PM and couldn't be happier (well, I probably will be happier when I get a chance to actually use it). Great price, fine scope and terrific dealer!.
