Well I am very impressed with my Kilo range finder and have been looking at there scopes and can't seem to find any first hand reviews. Does anyone have or have tried the Tango scopes?
-
No help on the tango but I have been rocking one of the whiskey scopes since they hit the market. It's on my 6.5 Grendel and I have been pretty impressed with it. It has some great features been holding true and overall a solid scope.

Carp,
How do you like the sig scope now and is it the 3 or the 5 ?
Thanks
Larry

I have the whiskey 5 and so far it has been a great scope and just recently picked up the kilo 2000 range finder and that little thing is amazing. Here is the whiskey on the rifle I just finished putting together.

I picked up a Tango 4 6-24x50 ffp at the beginning of the year and put it on my new Fierce Edge .28 Nosler. So far I have been much more impressed with the scope than the rifle, but I have only ran 58 shot through the ground so far and the weather has been crap most of the time. I really like the lighted reticle so far, the floating center aiming point is perfect and I think it should be very precise out as far as I should shoot. I like the r tickle intensity settings and the time out on the power to the reticle. Zero stop is great and I like the turret locks. Tracking has been good as far as I can tell.
Before buying I compared it to about every other scope in the same magnification range under $2500 and it the optics compared very well across the board. There were a few others that were superior optically but overall I felt the Sig came out on top.

Thanks for the input

I have been looking at the sig tango 4 4-16x44. Seems like they are pretty good scopes from what I have read. Cables right now has them on sale for a pretty good price.
-
I was thinking the same thing. Sig came out of the gate with the Kilo2000. I was hoping that there scopes were going to do well to.
-
Rumor has it and I have starting rumors, a handful of guys left leupold to help sig design there scopes. Just what I have read off of snipershide.
-
I don't have a scope yet but I did pick up their Zulu 7 10x42 binds and so far I absolutely love them. Super comfortable in hand, eye relief is good, glass clarity and color is great. If that's any indication on how their scopes are then you won't be able to go wrong.

I have only tried their Romeo 5 on a 16" .300 Blackout I built awhile back. I feel it performs just as well as the Micro T1 at a fraction of the cost.

Welcome back! Should we start a countdown timer until you're on another involuntary time out? :chuckle:
I don't think any of the new Sig optics would be a bad choice. I've been looking at some of the new Tango line but I cant find one with quite the feature sets that I want. They look like great scopes though.

I think the only issue I have with my Tango4 6-24x is the overall size of the turrets, they are certainly easy to get ahold of but seem a bit oversized for me. Love the feature of auto on and off for the illumination, the on-off-on-off... rheostat settings and the extra battery stored under the battery cap, no excuse to not have illumination when needed. Zero stops are tight and secure with an easy adjustment method, though it does take a bit of force to pull the turret up or out to adjust. I bought my rifle with a 20 moa base and was stoked after lapping my rings and bore sighting I found I was one click left and exactly one revolution up from bottomed out. I believe that still offers me 53 moa of vertical which is good out to about 1600 yards.
