Sightmark Pinnacle, anyone shoot it?

[Bobbyboe]

I just came across this company today while looking at rifle scopes. It seems that the Pinnacle is their top end scope. It has a few options for magnification, 34mm tube, illuminated reticle, zero stop, optional turret caps. It appears to be a bit heavy. I am wondering if anyone has shot them and what they think. Does it consistently track, rtz, rugged, ect.

Form, and other experienced shooters, please chime it!

Bump to the top. Is this a HARD NO?

It’s a LOW scope. Frank at Snipers Hide reviewed one and its your typical LOW scope from Japan, which is a good thing.

Forgive me, what is LOW?

Light Optical Works. It's one of the Japanese optics OEM's. The Pinnacle uses one of their off the shelf designs with the price point and specs that Sightmark wanted. That means it has good construction and mechanics, with good QC. If you look closely at other Japanese 5-30X50 scopes, you'll see a striking resemblance to this scope. That said, it isn't a clone, since Sightmark would have specified what glass to use, etc.

Probably a decent scope for what it is, but don't expect good resale.
