I’d like to see how the Sightron STac holds up. Ticks a lot of boxes, especially in the lower cost category. Also LOW built too, I believe, so would be interesting to see how it does compared to other LOW models. At its price point, if it’s reliable, could be a category killer.

I would be interested in this one as well.

Pretty sure the Sightrons are made in the Phillipines?

Some are, but I know their higher end line are made in Japan. I assumed the STac line was Japanese but could definitely be wrong on that.

They are made in the Philippines. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not LOW. I really like some Philippine scopes, and would rather have that than Chinese.

I’m also curious if they hold zero, but their reticles are no good at low power.
I'm running their scr mils reticle and it is definitely good to go in low power. I had a athlon cronus with a APRS6 reticle and that Christmas tree is useless at low power. Burris scr non Christmas tree reticle is phenomenal at all powers. And the glass is crazyyyy good.

What's stopping you from testing it since you have it in hand?

To everyone on this thread: please stop pretending that gravity is only available where Form lives. Go test your gear, then let us all know how it does.

Because I don't have the time. And I don't have the stuff to do a true test like tracking and all that fun stuff. Or I would in a heart beat.

It takes about 7 minutes to drop test, and all you need to test tracking is a big piece of paper or cardboard and a level/plumb bob. The tough variable if it fails will be then proofing the rifle system, or trying to do so until it passes.

I'll test it for you if you are genuine about that heartbeat cliche, PM for my address.

It might look good in your living room on a white wall. Not good in the field.

Next time I'm out shooting I will take pics. It's very much usable in the field. I was surprised when I took it out for the first time.

And mounting system. Form has a pretty solid set up that removes a lot of those variables.

I've owned the scope, I know what it looks like at 3x-8x.

Okay go compare it to other high powered FFP scope. It's most definitely usable lol it's a fine cross hair yea but to say it's not good in the field just isn't true. But your opinion is yours and your eyes may be diffrent then mine. But to my eyes the cross hair is most definitely usable.
