The new Sightron S6

[icekra]

Anyone tried S6 bencrest 10-60x56 and how are they comparing to like NF?

I have only shot mine out to 100 yards on 60x. The extra magnification is nice, but the eyebox is tighter. (that is to be expected) The floating dot reticle (MOA-FTD) is larger than the one on my Nightforce BR 12-42x 56mm with the CH-3 reticle. Soon as it warms up, I'll be shooting at 300 yards with the S6 Benchrest and I'll know whether I want to sell my NF BR 12-42 56mm or not.

 

[600-60x]

Nf 15x55 to 1000 yards

Please let me know if you if you decide to sell that NF. Thanks!

Whats your thoughts on this scope for 100 and 300 Yard use.

If you need to make a weight limit, these scopes might be too heavy. My 6BR chambered rifle weighs about 16.5 lbs total with this scope and I'll be score shooting from 100-600 yards.

Just bought my 3rd, so that speaks for itself.

What reticle are you using? I'm trying to decide which is best for F-class. There are elements of both that I like and it's hard to decide.

For me, the Sightron looked clearer. I am very happy with the scope. If I was offered one or the other for the same price, I would pick the Sightron. ( MOA-FTD reticle )
Check out Lance for pricing.

I went with the MOA-BD. I believe they are really the same. You just get the added hash marks on the BD. It's not cluttered at all like many other reticles out there these days.

Ok thanks for the info. I was worried the actual line thickness on the BD was thicker than the FTD
