After reading this thread - http://opticstalk.com/sightron-iii-17x24-first-impressionsor-last_topic34389.html,  I really wanted to test out these new SIII's from sigthron.  I was fortunate to have someone get me one for eval.  I just got it today and at lunch ran home and mounted it up.
So far I am liking the glass.  Not caring to much for the reticle for what I'm use to. I want a precise aiming point and the dot in this reticle is rather large.  I'm not passing to much judgement until trigger time but we will see. 
Here it is on the 6x45

Yes, compliments of the scope owner.  Very nice and solid. Like the bubble level in the back of the mount. 
 
Shot some with it this weekend.  The dot is much to large for precision work for my taste.  I like the glass, its very nice.  The FOV is excellent and I really like the mag range.  Making me want my SS 1-6 to come in even faster now!
 
I took some pictures with my cell phone but they didn't turn out, overcast and shadows wreked havoc on my camera.  I had several 5 shot groups in the .75" range with a few being slightly smaller.  The majority of them hung out around 1"  Knowing the gun is capable of better I put the SS 3-9 back on and cranked it up to 7X.  I then got a few .25"-.5" groups with ease.  The aiming point is just not fine enough on the SIII.  I think this weekend I'll swap it over to a 16" blackout thats not as demanded upon to produce tight groups, its a hunting gun.  I'll probably try to call in a coyote or two with it once mounted and sighted in.  I'll take the camera this time.
