I'm having one of those days where I wish I had a use for a $1,000+ scope so I thought I would share my scope envy with you guys.
It isn't often that I see a scope in this price range and actually want it. Most are unsuitable for air guns or unsuitable for non-billionaires but I really like the look of this Tango 6 line from Sig. They retail for $1800+ but can be bought for $1200.
Specifically, air like the 3-18x44 FFP. For a start, that's the perfect power range for a multi use PCP rifle scope. It focuses down to 25 yards with a side wheel. It looks cool with it's "graphite" finish. The objective lens is only 44" so medium rings might work ok.
That stuff is all nice but not that unique. Where it gets extra cool is that, apparently, Sig offers to laser etch a custom elevation turret for you to your stated specifications.
For the example, you might provide the ballistics data for the JSB 25gr .25 pellets you use in your rifle and then, instead of having to work stuff out or use notes, for a 50 yard shot, you would just turn the turret to 50 and it would be dead on. For a 75 yard shot, you turn it to the "75" marking. That sounds so simple that even I could use it!
Plus.... I think the illuminated reticle is super double awesome and I despise illuminated reticles usually. It even has motion sensors so it will switch off on it's own if you accidentally leave it on.
I haven't wanted something that I don't need this much since I saw an ad for a James Bond style one man sub-marine.
