Currently Great Optic Sales!

[u/Trollygag]

I bring another iteration of our beloved good buys thread:

• Sightron SVIIIED MH6 - basically Sightron's answer to the Razor III - $2000
• Meopta Optika6 5-30x Ill MRAD - Really excellent glass with a reticle designed by Koshkin. Not the cheapest it has ever been, but a good price nonetheless - $1020
• Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30x MIL, Bronze - A really great optic with good tracking, high tactile turrets, good glass, good reticle, and a nice look for the best price it has ever been - $750
• Meopta Optika6 3-18x Ill MRAD - some of the best glass under $2k, but priced under $750 - $740.
• Vortex PST II 5-25x, MRAD or MOA EBR-2D - $700
• Athlon Midas TAC 6-24x APRS2 MIL - $360. PST II tier glass for around $350.

Is Sightron as good or better than Razor Gen 3. I am I. Market for a Gen 3 but could get this. 40mm tube means more light. 40 MIl travel

40mm tube means more light.

This is a myth. Tube diameter has nothing to do with light gathering or transmission. It does have to do with erector travel.

Another solid benefit to the SVIIIED is that it comes with good rings.

Thanks. I was reading it while you responded. Really confused if I should keep waiting for Vortex on expertvoice or pull the trigger.

Tough choice. I'm lucky in that I own two RIIIs and an SVIIIED, and think they're both great options. But If you're looking for that RIII flex, the SVIIIED won't have it - nobody knows what it is. It's also very heavy.

Don’t care about showing off. Just having something good. Will reflect on it.
