Still waiting on Sightron to import more of the SIII's so I can get one from Liberty Optics, should be another 8 weeks, maybe less. I need someone out there to convince me it will be worth the wait. Plan on mounting to a TRG-22 that will be a target shooting and hunting gun, typically 150-400 yards, maybe longer if a new range opens up here this year.

I like the price for the features, just getting impatient I guess. Had considered jumping on a Nikon Tactical X recently, but decided to wait. Maybe hunting in low light would actually be an area I am not giving the Nikon enough credit for its glass. Anyone care to chime in on the SIII glass?

The glass is excellent on the Sightron SIII. It's well worth the wait. The turrets are nice too with very sharp clicks. If Sightron decided design a SIII FFP MIl/Mil tactical scope in 4-16x50 & 6-24x50 with the same glass in the $900 to $1000 price range they would blow away the competition.
