[QUOTE="PDA, post: 568613, member: 17031"] I have a Sightron SIII 6-24 with the MOA reticle and turrets on a Sendaro 300 win mag with Brux barrel. The gun will consistently shoot 1/2 MOA to 1K with the 208 A Max which I used to take a mule deer at 705 yds, and a spike elk at 537. The scope has been great, from tracking to retical I love it. IMHO the 6-24 is a high magnification for hunting, I went with this scope because I want to try my hand at the 1 mile mark and wanted the high end for that. I use a 3.5-15 Nighforce at work and love it, I think it has better glass than the Sightron, but only a little and it really only matters on those 100 degree plus days when on the glass for hours and at twice the price I can't afford or justify it for my personal needs. If Sightron offered a 2.5-17.5 or anything in that range I would jump all over it! I have a 300 blackout in need of glass, and would definetly upgrade several other rifles with that scope. I would also, pending testing, strongly consider it for work (LE Sniper). Now if Sightron would offer a LE discount like Vortex, Burris, Bushnell, and several others that would be great. I spend a lot of money on work gear that will be taken as evidence if it is used to engage someone and I don't like the idea of being out several thousand dollars, but want the best gear available.
