I'm considering buying a new scope for my BR rifle. The ones I'm considering are the above 36x Sightrons, and I'm looking for unbiased feedback on these 2. The price difference is a bit over $$250. Is the Big Sky worth that much more, in your opinion? If so, why?
FWIW, I already have the the standard SII 36x on one rifle, and a Weaver T36 on another, and slightly prefer the Sightron. I think the optics are comparable, and the Sightron has slightly more repeatable adjustments. The Weaver's a bit cheaper, but I find the way the adjustments are marked on the T36's elevation turret, zero to 4.5 then back to zero unacceptable. I corrected this on my T36 by buying a pair of T24 turrets, which fit and are properly marked zero to 9. But the price of new turrets (you have to buy 2) pretty much wipes out the price differential.
