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

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.

The S6 5-30X56 is amazing. I own and operate several Sightron scopes. Multiple S3, SVlll, S6 S3ED 45x etc etc. I can say hands down they are the best scopes ive owned. Not one has ever had an issue or needed to be returned for repair

I agree Sightron scopes are great for the price. March is another great scope but their price point is a bit more than I a willing to spend. I have an S3 FT. I’m looking to upgrade to the S6 FT on my Thomas. The S3 will go on my Steyr for WFTF

The new S6 is going to be worth the wait. A Ton went into the development of this scope. The thing with Sightron is they are the manufacturer. They dont need to cut corners to save cost. The make every single part of the scopes including the glass and coatings

We tried the new s6 at our uk field target club . All I would say being honest try one before you buy , it’s nothing like the ranging capability of the s3 … I’m not sure what sightron have done inside the scope with the parralex but it was very vague and not snappy , for wftf when range is important and non known distances you will struggle shame as I thought sightron would of nailed this and I personally would have bought one

Thats disappointing. From the description they provided I anticipated much better ranging than the S3. Thank you for the info!

I really was disappointed as the construction-turrets-build quality and glass is perfect

Was this a pre-production scope or the final product?
I have one on order and am not ready for another disappointing scope

delivery isn't supposed to happen until mid-September - maybe the scope you saw was a one off ;-)
if I hear more horror stories I might cancel, or be ready to return the scope ASAP

The ranging is far better then the s3 along with the glass quality there not even close as far as quality goes.

100% a pre production model. As there are no production models out or i would have had one.

Have you used an S6? I know they claim it’s better but as you can see above. There is one comment that says otherwise

I am very excited for this scope. Alot of thing have changed over at Sightron over the last 5 years. All for the good. Things are moving in a good direction for the end users.

Not to be a stickler, but a UK retailer I checked indicated that the scopes are not yet available, but can be preordered. Same as on this side of the pond.

Just spoken to my friend and the one we checked was pre production so thought I would clear that up with everyone

Thanks Lee. Let’s hope they make some improvements between the one you tried and the production units. Hopefully they listened to feedback (they usually do). This my be why they are a running a little behind on getting it out to the public
