I have a new Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe in 257 Wby. It's a high gloss rifle and I'm looking for a gloss finish scope. I've only been able to find two.
Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40 for $480 Sightron SII Big Sky 3-9x42 for $380 + $75 rebate = $315 I have never looked at a Sightron SII Big Sky, but for $170 less it seems like a no-brainer. Thoughts? Any other gloss options I'm missing? |

I'd take the Sightron Big Sky...it's a very nice scope.

There is also the Pentax 3-9x40 Lightseeker XL that has a gloss finish for $438.95 at SWFA. I believe that the Pentax scopes are made by Burris.

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like there are 4 gloss options in my price range.
Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40 for $480 Sightron SII Big Sky 3-9x42 for $315 Pentax Lightseeker XL 3-9x40 for $440 Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 for $199 The Pentax looks really interesting, but I don't think I can justify the extra $125 over the Big Sky. I think I'm going with the Sightron. Thanks, Steve |

Thanks, I'm excited to try it. I also just noticed that SWFA is selling the matte 3-9x42 Big Sky for $320 + $75 rebate, so it's only $245! That's right there with the Vortex Vipers that are on closeout. http://swfa.com/Sightron-3-9x42-SII-Big-Sky-Riflescope-P9158.aspx I might have to pull the trigger on a gloss and a matte Big Sky! |
