New Sightron S6 10-60×56 ED Field Target Scope Announced

1705611825625.webp

This new Sightron S6 10-60×56 ED Field Target Scope has been announced for the 2024 SHOT Show. It’s being described as a premium choice for airgun, small caliber Field Target and Benchrest shooters.

“This is an incredible optic,” says John Long, National Sales Manager with Sightron. “The S6 10-60×56 ED FT sets a new optical standard for airgun and .22 competition shooting. The all-new 34mm tube design employs two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for an unprecedented shooting experience that provides a 55% improvement in optical resolution over our HAM Gold Award-winning and industry standard SIII FT models.”

At the core of the riflescope are 15 Japanese optical-grade glass lenses. The scope includes two Extra-low Dispersion elements that are precisely positioned within the objective to boost optical resolution by 55% when compared to the SIII model, Sightron tells HAM.

This means everything is clearer, crisper, and sharper edge-to-edge. Now, you’ll see those shots on target like never before and avoid hitting the same target twice, the company says.

Sightron redesigned the parallax cam system with 291º of precision field target rotation, plus an extra 39º of diopter and environmental condition protection, for a total 330º of parallax control. The scope is optimized for precise field target parallax adjustments ranging from 9-300 Yards and allows an additional 39º of adjustments to compensate for Diopter Correction and Environmental Changes (DCEC) which effect target-ranging accuracy. The result is 91º of parallax correction in the critical 40-60 Yard target range.

Sightron collaborated with Garima Design & Customization, in Italy, to develop a 145mm diameter magnetic side-wheel, specific to the S6 Field Target scope. The magnetic connection allows the wheel to attach or detach, in less than 1 second, without tools. That’s great for transporting your gun, or when you need to make a quick adjustment to your air rifle on the line.

Sightron’s exclusive Zact-7 Revcoat Plus multi-coating technology applies premium, camera-grade multi-coatings throughout the optical design. The company says that this offers the best possible light transmission, contrast, and clarity for dramatically reduced color fringing, flare, and chromatic aberrations even in the harshest lighting conditions.

The new MOA-2FT and MH-FT reticles are purpose-built for airgun and 22. caliber competition field target and benchrest shooters. The Second Focal Plane, illuminated reticle is uncluttered with just enough information to keep track of where you are when counting clicks. The floating center dot makes it easy to set target placement, even at 60x, Sightron says.

The 34mm tube design is built from premium-grade aluminum, weighs 33.6 Oz, and is airgun tested and shock-rated to 1,000G’s for more than 10k cycles. It can handle the heaviest big-bore airguns up to 50 BMG. In addition, it meets IPX7 waterproof standards and is nitrogen-charged to prevent fogging of the interior glass elements, even when moving from a warm car to sub-zero temps.

All Sightron riflescopes are backed by a Lifetime Performance Guarantee.

They 110% knocked it out of the park with this glass. If your not Familiar with Sightron glass its some of the best in the world. There ED glass is barn none some of the best out there. Ive had a 45x ED on a rifle for years has been dragged around from benchrest event to benchrest event. Back of my car and never once has it lost zero. Still as brite and clear as the day i bought it. I will for sure be rocking this on my 100 yard bench set up when it drops. I own several sightron scopes they all are brite and clear track properly and just work.
 
Not really, scope magnification for ranging is nothing new
Maybe I'm clueless lol? 10x60x56... magnification is then 10 times to 60 times magnification with a 56ml bell? Parallax is for ranging not magnification? Can you explain? That must apply to FFP scopes only? I have 2 SFP Hawkes which I like but I oh so want to get a FFP. Thanks.

It's a combination of parallax and scope magnification.
Find the target at say 20 mag, adjust parallax for clarity.
Up the magnification to say 50, fine tune the parallax to give clarity and a precise distance reading.

Most European field target scopes are second focal. Mine included.
 
I would like someone to report on the Athlon Ares 15x60x56 scope. I have looked through one at a Field Target Match and I really liked the reticle plus it seemed to "snap" in and out of focus at 15 power at 55 yds, much better than my Aztec Emerald 5.5x25x50 at 16 power. I would likely never use anything over 25 power if I was shooting off a bench and I believe it has to be set at 15 power for Hunter Field Target. (no 16 power marking).

At the lowest power setting the glass looked pretty darn good.

The post New Sightron S6 10-60×56 ED Field Target Scope Announced appeared first on Hard Air MagazinAny ideas on when here will be out? It says summer but no more than that. I’m looking to grab one as soon as they are available!
 
Any idea on when they will be released? The article says summer. Hoping to get a more firm date. I want to grab one as soon as they are available
 
I tried to get an answer out of them and they were non commital. It would be great if you could get something more definitive. Thanks!
 
I spoke to Sightron. Yes the timeline for availability is still not confirmed - this is normal for any product introduction by any company - but my contact suggested September as a possibility.

Having been involved in product development myself for many years, such uncertainty about availability is completely normal. We will just have to be patient. I am sure the new scope will be worth the wait!
 
Thanks. I appreciate you looking into it. Was really hoping to have it and spend some time with it before the Pyramid cup. Hoping it’s early Sept!!
 
Sightron must be struggling with meeting their advertised specs. Summer is coming to an end and still no word on when the S6 FT will be available!
