sightron SIII 45x45 scope

I love mine. I use it for 50 yard and 100 yard BR. Always repeatable. Get the 3D printed "wheel" for the side focus and you will be very happy. Great scope. Very light weight.

I am in the market for a higher power scope that will let me see 223 holes at 300 yards. Right now my Athlon just isn't up to the task. I am looking at the 45x45 and the 10-50x60 and I am wondering how they compare considering the 45 has the ED glass but the 10-50 has a larger objective. Has anyone compared the two?

I have both. I prefer the 10-50x60 over my 45x. The variable scope is clearer to my eyes and doesn’t seem to show mirage as bad. If weight wasn’t a concern, I would get rid of my 45x Sightron and get a second 10-50x60.

.223 bullet holes may be difficult to see at 300 yds with either scope depending on conditions. I had the 10-50 on a Savage 223. There were days the bullet holes were very clear and 2 minutes later the mirage would pick up and everything turned to a blur.

Just to be clear your 10-50 is not the ED version correct?

Correct. It’s the SIII 10-50x60. Non ed glass.
