Sightmark’s 8.5-25x50 and 3-9x40 tactical rifles scopes are two very fine scopes. I got to look at the 3-9x40, but I got to use the 8.5-25x50. I was really impressed especially considering cost is as much as $1,000 less than some other tactical optics out there.
They use cutting edge glass and lens coatings to assure their product stacks up with any other tactical instrument on the market.
Precision multicoated optics are the distinguishing feature of the Sightmark tactical riflescope line; these multicoated lenses offer an extremely clear view for easy target acquisition in both bright and low light situations and they’re nitrogen filled for waterproof and fog proof operation.
Sightmark’s tactical line features oversized windage, elevation, and focusing adjustment knobs for easy adjustment in the field. But, for that additional level of accuracy the 8.5-25x50 comes with locking mechanisms on the windage and elevation adjustments ensuring the scope stays zeroed. This along with the internally illuminated mil-dot reticle allows highly accurate shots over a wide range of distance. The scope will do its job—now it’s up to you.
