Telescopes on Rifles
BY Herschel Smith
NEW from Sightron comes their first 40mm main tube optic!
While 34mm and 35mm have become standards in the industry, rarely is a 40mm tube seen. The SVIII from Sightron comes with ED glass, their ExacTrack W&E System, multi-coated lens, and a ton more features.
It’s a 5X40 with a 40mm tube. It will sell for $2900.
Maybe I’m underestimating your prowess as a hunter, but it seems to me the only people who can use a scope like that are professional snipers.
How about this idea instead. Build robust and durable scopes with a large tube for good light and clear glass for a reasonable price? Comparatively few people live in an area where they will need 40X magnification. Except for maybe .50BMG, what cartridge would be effective on game at a distance where you need 40X magnification?
