And forum members have experience with the SIG LVPO scopes. Currently setting up a Ruger Ranch Rifle in 300 Blackout and looking for an LVPO scope. The Leupold VX3 1.5-5 is what I currently have my eye on. I like the clarity and the forgiving eye relief but not thrilled with the zoom range. Sig has tempting offerings in the their Tango line offering a wider zoom range and illuminated reticles for similar or less money. I just have no idea of the quality of their scopes.

I bought one of the "SIG SAUER Tango-MSR LPVO 1-6x24mm" Scopes. I found it to be a decent scope for a Low price. IMHO is was WELL worth what I paid for it. A lot of companies sell a comparable mount that it came with more more than the SIG Scope AND the Mount!

C-Does on YouTube does a lot of solid review on You-Tube. He's straight forward and doesn't seem to be flat-out bought like some of the shills you see on YouTube. Here's some of his reviews on SIG's:

The one I bought was under $300. It had a good illuminated reticle and glass I'd say was maybe somewhere between an older Leupold Vari-X II and Vari-X III but that's just a memory comparison rather than a serious one. C-Does will go into MUCH more detail and comparison than I did.

Also be careful WHICH SIG Scope you are looking at. The exact models can vary a lot and only have a couple letters or words different. A lot of the Chinese built scopes are sold my multiple companies under different names, so be VERY specific about which one you are buying.

I use some of the less expensive scopes on rifles that I don't shoot as much or are mainly Range toys. I'd trust some of the more reputable brands like leupold, Zeiss, Swarovski, Schmidt Bender etc for self-defense or big hunt uses if possible. But honestly I was really surprised how good the $3-$500 scopes are now.

Good Luck and I hope you'll share your experiences if you pick one of these up.........DJ

My LGS owner recommended the Sig to me, 1X6 power, for an AR. He said Sig has some problems, but in his experience, their optics are top notch and he's not had any customer dissatisfaction.

My current health keeps me from frequenting the range as much as I'd like, but I can tell you that it works, has kept its zero and I have no regrets about the purchase.

Still can’t help but think I’m overthinking this one and making it too complicated. The rifle I’m working up is a Ruger Gen2 Ranch Rifle in .300 Blackout. I’m jokingly referring to it as my Urban Scout Snoopin and Poopin Rifle. Lightweight, short length, versatile and will be a suppressor host.

One of the things I’ve struggled with is the dual personality of the .300 Blackout round between subsonic and supersonic; different bullet weights, different velocities and different points of impact. Current thinking is mounting an LPVO and sight in at 200yards with supers, then having a red dot piggy backed on top of the scope ring sighted in at 100 yards with subs.

Initial thoughts were that it was an ingenious idea, the more I think about it I start to wonder how practical it really is. Worried that the red dot will be too high to have a cheek weld and be accurate with.

I have that same Tango-MSR 1-6x LPVO and like it a lot. I think I paid about $220 for it. The mount that usually comes with it doesn't have a way to put an RDS on top though, so you'd have to get a different mount. I think if you buy it direct from Sig you can get it either with or without the default mount. Or you could use the default mount and get a 45 degree offset picatinny (or M-LOK, probably) mount for the RDS.

Ended up going with this one, Sig Tango MSR 1-6, Hellfire reticle with a mount.

Lots of reasons, primarily get something on the rifle now and get out and start shooting it, second it’s relatively cheap. Find out what works, what doesn’t work and if it’s going to be a project worth pursuing. Is it going to be the final solution for the rifle? I don’t know. I kind of look at this the way I use my Nikon 6-24 target scope I’ve got in Warne quick detach rings. When I get a new rifle I’ll put a set of picatinny bases on it, mount the scope and take it to the range and shoot it. If I get good results I’ll find something more appropriate for that rifle. Right now that setup sits on my Winchester 70 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Yes, it looks a little funny seeing a long target scope on a lightweight sporter rifle, but it let me evaluate the rifle before investing in a scope for it.

If this setup works out it stays on the rifle, if not I’ve got a LPVO scope and a mount I can use to evaluate something else in the future. I’m already thinking if it works mounting it closer to the bore in a set of low rings. I’m going to try it with just the scope first, who knows I may get lucky and find a subsonic load with point of impact at 100 yards as a supersonic at 200 with the same aiming point. Or with the graduations on the crosshairs, finding a holdover that works for both without having to go with the separate red dot.

Bass Pro Shops today had both the Burris and Vortex LPVO’s that come with red dots piggy backed on. I didn’t like the reticle on the Vortex, an illuminated crescent with no actual crosshairs. The Burris was even worse with a faint circle in the middle with horizontal and vertical crosshairs extending from it but they only go halfway to the perimeter. Most of the LPVO’s I’ve looked at have some sort of quick acquisition reticle trying to perform more like a red dot than a scope. At least the version of the Sig I bought while not being traditional, still has an actual cross hair.

We’ll see, I think it’s going to be a fun project. Definitely something new for me.
