Scope recommendations for 22lr

[marchx]

I am purchasing my first 22lr and intend to use it for 50m/100m benchrest. As for the scope, I am looking closer at Sightmark Latitude 10-40x60. What do you think?

For a BR, A single power would be better for me, no variables. I have a 36X on one and a 45X on the other.

 

[butchlambert]

Joe, I think he could almost buy a quality used single power for the same funds.

Butch, I could. In theory. Being located in Europe add cost of shipping+applicable VAT rate + customs fees. No to mention ITAR- opticsplanet or any responsible seller won't ship any such scope to Europe. On Secondary market in Europe you have Schmidt Bender, Kahles, Meopta, Leica, Steiner. Even used quality scope with >25 maginfication would be more expensive than a new Sightmark.

You could easily walk across our border and buy it here. Our President is going to pay each illegal alien $450,000 USD.

I see that Optics Warehouse have the fixed power Sightron in stock for 400 quid. Or go mad and get the 10-50, which will set you up for anything. The Sightmark looks like a generic asian scope, rebranded by them.(could be wrong) If you want to save some cash the Falcon 10-50X LR is a good bet - good warranty, Japanese made, also 1/8 moa. The company is UK based (Stafford) and do answer emails promptly.

I agree that for bench work I'd use a fixed power. I have 24X and 36X and prefer the 24. As the light fades in the afternoon the 36 gets dark too, also mirage is a bigger issue for me with the 36. My scopes are Weavers so take this with a grain of salt.

I have a 42 power NightForce Competition. If you can find one of these for sale, get it right away. It is a phenomenal scope on my Anschutz 64 MPR. I have no idea why NightForce discontinued this scope. Bad mistake! BAD MISTAKE! On my Bergara I am planning on installing a 40 power Leupold that I have. I'm going to see how that works out. Oh, by the way the 64 MPR and the NightFroce 42 power were bought by me thanks to President Trump's people bucks. Thank you President Trump!

If you are looking about 1000 USD (EUR) +- scope my vote is going to Sightron 10-50x56.I have long experience of it and I am VERY satisfied.

Is it on par with Vortex GE?

Is it on par with Vortex GE?

There have been some threads on accurateshooter.com about this very question.
See, for example,

Sightron lll 10-50x60 VS Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x56

Need a Review COMPARISON on Sightron lll 10-50x60 vs Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x56. I have been a big Sightron user on the above scope ( own a few MOA-2 and LR. Dot reticles ) for long range target shooting , Prairie Dog hunting , shooting , gongs all off bench etc. I do not shoot F class...

Vortex Golden eagle vs Sightron S3

Trying to pick a scope for FTR rifle, so scope will be used at range only, 300 yards to 1k. I like Sightron s3 10-50 because of its reputation in competition world but Vortex has been doing some great things lately plus no hassle warranty is a big plus and extra 10x magnification doesn't hurt...

I have a Sightron 45x45 on my CZ457 MTR. Works very well at 50 yards and 100 yards.

Graf & Sons has Sightrons on sale for 25% off until the end of Nov.
LOVE my SIII 10 - 50x60.

Sorry I didn't weigh in on this sooner, but if you are considering a Sightron, you owe it to yourself to call Buchanan Accuracy at 870-213-6897 or 870-269-8866. His prices and service are outstanding, and he's a heck of a good guy as well. Very fast delivery as well.
I bought my last Sightron there (I have 4) and only wish I'd found him sooner.
