Rifle Scopes Sightron sviii 5-40x56

All indications are very positive. This is one scope that we sell, but I have no experience behind the wheel. Looking through the glass and having customers compare, I would have to give it thumbs up. I have not been impressed with the brand, but this model appears to have leap-frogged over other models. I had one customer who has a ZCO 8-40 tell me that he felt that Sightron was "close enough," and there is a lot of money between the two.
I would encourage you to get more hands-on opinions. We can help put one in your hands.
I own a few of them with both reticles. They're clearer than the Vortex Razor Gen 3 and so far zero issues with any of mine. They're closest to my March and kahles scopes at around half the price. They can be bought for around $2000-$2200 of you shop around and call for quotes over the phone which is a real steal for these scopes which are in fact the closest budget priced high end scopes to being true tier 1 level. The only negative is they're extremely heavy.
Thank you so much.
I have 2 sightron s3 6-24x50 and 8-32x56.
I love them and have never had a problem.
I had been surprised to see some for sale in such a short time.
That's why I asked.
I will try to get one, although here in Europe they are much more expensive.

They've been on sale for much cheaper when they first were introduced over a year ago and they were priced $2000 and under and cheapest I've seen was $1800. Had I known how great they really were, I would have bought in early for the cheaper prices.
I would think people sell their Sightron SVIII scopes probably due to them being too heavy and need to free up cash to buy a lighter weight scope.
The only reason I would think of selling one of mine is if I was short on cash and wanted to order another lighter weight Burris XTR PRO or a lighter weight March FX wide angle super ED 5-42x which would mean I'd have to sell 2 SVIIIs.

I have that scope 5-40x56mm, and I just returned from a Prairie dog shoot in Montana. I also had Night Force ATACR 7-35x56mm. The glass between the two is equal, and I like the reticle in the ATACR better. I highly recommend this specific Sightron 5-40x56
I just got on in from Sightron for some accessory parts design-work.
It is impressive and feels very nice in all regards, and the glass is pretty smokin' good.
