Sightron S1 G2 scopes

I've read good things about the Sightron S1 G2 scopes, but not much of what I've heard reflects any hard use. I'd be interested to see if anyone here has put one of these to use and can reflect on its ability to retain zero.

Curious as well. Budget folks unite!

I recently acquired the 1.75-5. It’s a nice little scope for the money. I have it on a rifle I am currently working on bedding so I haven’t yet worked it over. Once the rifle is ready I was going to do a tall target test and then drop it and retest zero, a la Form. Eye relief and glass is really quite good.

What would you compare the glass to?

The glass is comparable to or better than most name brand scopes in the same price range made in the Philippines. It's plenty good for what they're designed to do.

Maybe not quite as nice as a vx 3hd but I still think it looks excellent for $180. Nice eye relief too. I’m sure a photo like this doesn’t help much but there it is
