Any first hand knowledge on the Sightron SIII 10-50x60 30MM tube riflescope? Thinking about switching my Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20 scope on one of the rifles for F-Class.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: seaaggie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">is that enough scope???? </div></div> He said he wanted it for F/Class shooting. In F/Class you need the power. The guy that won the state championship used a 60x the same guy also won the regionals with the same scope. In F/Class power to a point wins.So a 10x50 would work greagt if it will hold POI and track right

I've mentioned this in the Birdforums and it seems like there is some interest to use this rifle scope as a spotting scope. If mounted to a monopod, this can be an uber light and durable spotter.
The 60mm objective puts it squarely into the territory of spotters.

I just hope they offer a different reticle than the 1/4 moa dot.. something like a fine crosshair or milldot would be fine with me.

Wow! 50x? And here I was thinking a 12-42 Nightforce was overkill, but at a grand it might be worth a look.

I have yet to find a scope beside the S&B12-50 that performs even "decently" at 40x or over. Just sold a March 10-60 and NF 12-42, also had a boosted leupy 18-40x and 20-50x. They all drop off a ton of light over 40x and you get color fringing plus a huge loss of resolution making the picture ghastly to look at. Keeping in mind your looking through a $2500 scope and wondering where that extra $2000 went is a sad thing. I'm sticking to 20-30x scopes for F-Class as I don't need more, or can't live with the picture/price over higher magnifications.
Why manufacturers still try beats me. I think the only company that gets the problems is USO with their SN9 having a long tube and 80mm objective. How S&B does it I don't know, but this is a freaky good scope!!!
