Scope Recommendations for .30 Matador R5

[Uglyjohn]

I think you made a good choice in the S-tac. I’ve had one on one of my HW97s for a couple of years and I love it! Glass is nice and clear - not SIII clear but clear. Turrets are true Sightron quality, always holds zero. Should work out well on the R5 Uj

Very Good Scope for the price point..

if you compared the aim alpha6 to a bushnell nitro- how would the 2 compare? they seem comparably priced...

thanks

That’s a great looking pair. What color is the one on the left? I’ll post a pic of mine soon. I got the Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50... I think I prefer the Dedal Stalker...even out to 100yds with its low 6x magnification. I’ll come to a final conclusion after tomorrow’s range session.

I took my Edguns out for some trigger time today....25 Leshiy, .25 R5M and .30 R5. The Dedal side by side with the Sightron S-Tac 4-20x50...Dedal is crisper and brighter. I can live with the Sightron but the side focusing knob is hard on the fingers. It’s a cool looking design but it tends to dig into the fingers as you turn it. 

This unfortunate fellow happened eed by as I was punching paper.

The focusing ring, rheostat for the reticule and the battery cap can be seen in the pic below. The raised knobs creates a gripping surface but also make it hard on the fingers. What I do like is that there is a off position in between each level of brightness. Thus eliminating the need to turn back to zero each time to turn off the lit reticule.
