Sightmark Scopes????

**WPNFXER** · June 3rd, 2009, 07:57 PM

Looking for a decent 30mm scope for my son's AR's and ran across these scopes. Checked out the websight and may purchase one to test but was wondering if anyone is currently or has shot one.
Fit/ Finish?
Durability?
Accuracy?

You get good eye relief, but the housings are cheap, witnessed on a French Mas 49/56 converted. If you could just spend > $100 you could get something that would last longer. It's by Yukon...

oh ps, be sure to get the tripple duty

have you ever tracked it?
From zero 6 up, 12 left, 12 down, 12 right and 6 up. If tracking is good it should be right on original zero.
Once zero'd how accurate are the Mil-dots?
Is the reticle in the first or second focal plane?
Are the knobs able to be re-zero'd?
Is the bell threaded for a sunshade?
How easy do the Focal and Power adjustments move?
Are the rings it comes with worth even using?
Any problems with only 15MOA of adjustment?
From what i have read the triple duty is a standard scope with an illuminated recticle and Adjustment Lock.

Mine has tracked very well, I am still confused by it's tracking as I have had higher dollar scopes perform with less repeatability

Mil-Dots are useless unless you load for what they are dialed into IMO
Is the reticle in the first or second focal plane?
I will have to go look as I don't remember.
Are the knobs able to be re-zero'd?
When I am checking the FP, I will confirm this
Is the bell threaded for a sunshade?
Yes
How easy do the Focal and Power adjustments move?
Snug
Are the rings it comes with worth even using?
I don't use them, I have the 4x16 on an R700 with a 1 piece
Any problems with only 15MOA of adjustment?
The longest I shot this scope was 300yds. If I remember correctly it doesn't have tons of climb
From what i have read the triple duty is a standard scope with an illuminated recticle and Adjustment Lock.
Yup

I put responses in red, I currently do not have the scope mounted as I put my Springfield back on to test a few things. For $179 or less, its a solid buy. Tomcat posted a Millet that looked interested awhile back which is on my list to play around with.
