What is the best scope out there ?
- Thread starter hvack
- Start date
Of the ones that I own,I have two favorites. My Hawke Frontier 2.5-15x50 for hunting and target and my Sightron SIII 10-50x60 for Bench Rest and Field Target.
You can spend a lot less, (or a lot more) but these two scopes cover a lot of ground for me.

In my opinion the Vortex Viper FFP 3-15x44 is tops : ; the model number is PST-1358. The glass is so sharp and clear, it focuses down to 20 yards, has zero stop turrets, in mil-rad, turrets and reticle, and is not huge like some comparable scopes. I just scored one for myself, and after my buddy looked through it he ordered one for himself. It tracks spot on and has good solid clicks with the turrets. I'm loving it so much, I would like another one. PS it' has an illuminated reticle if you need one.

Awesome scopes. A guy at the range has a bench-rest rifle with a March on it. Insanely nice with prices to match. Don't think they make anything really suited to airguns. For airguns i really like Sightrons and SWFA SS Classics.

March scopes do look awesome . For that kind of money you would think they could be lighter.

Their scopes are among the lightest off the high-end brands..
I love my March scope! Have another one (3-24x42) is on it's way, going on my Steyr.

Sightron S3. Personally, I like these better than March scopes. Optical clarity is as good and eyebox is more generous. The price is less than half.

I really like the SIII's as well. They are the most expensive scopes I've ever purchased personally so I can't really comment on the other high end scopes. Don't think I'll ever consider getting rid of either of mine like I've done other scopes in the past.

I own a couple of both - the two brands being my favorite, all things considered. The SIII is nice, but it’s not March nice, not even close. A 3-24x52 w/ the thin FMA-2 is about the best you could ask for on an Airgun. It parallaxs down to 10 yards, it’s about 12” long and weighs in at about 24 ounces (don’t quote me, I’m going off memory).
The smallest SIII (the only III that will parallax down to 10) isn’t 1st focal and is only 3-10. It is nice, I have it on my Regal.
The Sightron 6-24s FFPs are best in class for the money, but they are larger, heavier and, again, not March glass nice. IMO, Sightron’s reticles are also pretty plain and a tad thick.
Lastly , a comparable March is closer to 3-4x the price of Sightron, not double.

S3 reticles are thick?? Maybe the mildot, but I can hardly see my fine cross hair and the mil-hash is pretty fine too. I have yet to see why the FFP is so great.

So go with a SWFA fixed 12 or 16 moa quad and the problems are over. BF sale now in progress. I must own 10 of 'em and will prolly pick up a couple more. Gary
