Falcon 10-50X60 Scope Review
- Thread starter JoeWayneRhea
- Start date
One of our FT club members just received his and was shooting a match with it a few weeks ago.
In speaking with him and his speaking with the folks at Falcon etc .... the resolve was it is coming from the same factory and outside of turrets is a SIGHTRON SIII 10-50x60
Which would make sense being " yea that scope" just came out with a new model with rotation limit locking turrets. My guess is the manufacturing / marketing rights of this specific scope expired and FALCON jumped on it with a few spec changes such as open turrets.
Having owned a Big Sightron 10-50x60 .... after looking at this new FALCON X50, have to agree. KILLER DEAL if your looking for a WFTF or Open class FT scope.
Shame no 16X mark which kills it as a Hunter class scope choice.

You see this is why joe is awesome to have available at this site. not only does the guy crank out videos on all sorts of scope classes. gives fast detailed analysis of particular scope. he also answers questions one would have regarding listed scope. now he is starting to do follow up videos to help address comparisons to other scopes. like him or not , i don't see anyone commiting so much effort to helping others find good scopes and avoiding questionable ones. yes , i know there are a handful of others like t. rex doing quite detailed studies on scopes. but joe really helps one to avoid making a bad purchase right out of the box.
all i know is joe saved my ignorant ass when it came to scopes , or i would have spent thousands poorly.

Joe,
Great review, I know as of late, a lot of shooters are onto the Falcon 10-50, and many speak it's praises.
I had a slightly different experience with the original Falcon the first year or two it came out.
I acquired said scope, and mounted it on my then newly rebuilt Steyr LG 110 FT. I sighted it in, and off to the Crosman All American Field Target Championship, the last year it was held on the Crosman grounds.
What impressed me about the scope was its ranging. I had a 1" space between the distances of 50 and 55. Almost the same between 45-50 as well. After the literal heat of the competition came on, the scopes ranging capabilities failed. Where there was once almost 2 inches of travel on the sidewheel between 45-55, that was reduced to only 3/8" after the first day, making the second day almost impossible to range correctly after 45 yards. I took that scope off, never using it again.
Anyway, with all the praises that have been coming from everyone recently, it makes me possibly want to try another, newer one down the road. But one can see I'm a little reluctant, due to my previous experience.
Hope you have success with my slugs,
Happy New Year
