Rifle Scopes SAI 1-6 LVPO

[coldboremiracle]

This little scope has been a very pleasant surprise, I would love it if they produced a 34mm 1-10 version.

Yep, agree with the 1-10 comment!
Until then, I am super happy with the 1-6.
Great write-up!

I'd like to see it compared to the Razor 1-6.

I'll bet the glass is just as good or nicer, but I wonder how forgiving the eyebox is?

Looking at the eye relief spec it may not be as forgiving.

I like mine a lot, but it seems like it fell under the radar a bit. You don't hear much about them and see many people running them. I would hope that a well configured 1-8 or 1-10 would be better received.

I emailed ATI a while back asking if they had any plans in the works for more SAI optics but no response was received...

There will be other SAI scopes, but it takes time. They did not start the brand for one scope only.

I still have mine and like it quite a lot. A lot of scopes go through my hands. Most of them come and go. This is one of the few that stayed.

That's good news right there. More options is always a good thing. Optics are a very personal choice sometimes.

The lighter weight of the SAI 1-6 has me interested but I just couldn't bring myself to part with one of my Razors. I may just have to try one to compare it to one of these days.

Trying this out after letting go of my Kahles k16i and jumping to a NF NX8 1-8. So far it’s more comparable to my Kahles. I really like the FOV and forgiving eyebox. The reticle is good too.

 

[koshkin]

It is an excellent design. I still have mine and really like it.

I was on the fence going to the Vortex Razor 1-10 or the SAI 1-6, but I think already, the SAI is a keeper. I had my Kahles for 5 years. The NX8 lasted 4 months. I liked the mil reticle in the NF but could not get past the eyebox and outer ring. The reticle in the SAI is very versatile.

This does seem to be a nice scope that flies under the radar for whatever reason.

So the eye box is similar to the kahles k16i? That is impressive for the weight! The huge eye box is my favorite thing about the kahles.

I don’t obviously have them side by side to do a comparison, but to my experience and memory, the SAI does not feel like it’s giving up anything. My buddy may still have his K16i. If he does, maybe I can get his to compare the two and report back. I am no glass or optic expert, but the SAI feels and looks just as good as the other two scopes I mentioned.

Aren’t we waiting on a 1-10? Thought it was ‘announced’…

I may be wrong but I think it's the Delta Optical company that announced a 1-10?

Hoping SAI will do a 1-8 or 10 also.

I purchased an SAI 1-6 earlier this year. So far I really like it. Terrific eyebox, excellent glass, light weight, and seems to be a quality build. Easily the equal of my Sig Tango6T 1-6 FFP (and the Sig is a terrific optic). If I decide to purchase another 1-6 in the near future, the SAI is likely my first choice.

 

[Chasing3]

I really wanted a 1-8 or 1-10, but I kinda gave up because they don’t seem to perform optically compared to the 1-6’s. I understand it’s a tougher design, but there are draw backs to the NX8 1-8, ATACR 1-8 and Vortex Razor 1-10 from my experience behind them. Hopefully the future options improve on those designs.

 

[Jonesky]

SAI 1-10 in towards the end. As to when we will see it who knows. I knew I saw some thing about this.

How does the glass and clarity compare with the K16i? Say, if you're trying to spot bullet holes in paper at distance, which one are you going to see them further out with?

I love the K16i, the glass is probably a little better, but I dont know if its $1000 better

Did somebody say it was?

Even if it is not to one’s liking they’ve changed the reticle AND you get the option of having it with or without the “rapid aiming” feature which is that “X”

Pretty cool eh? I like it just the way it is.

Not sure what you mean, it is my picture, but I didn't post it here. I never said it was busy, I like it.

I’ve had one for quite a while. It’s fine but I prefer the newer options.

they have more lpvos coming
