Sightron is a highly popular brand among benchrest shooters. They are known for producing quality optics for a decent price. At IWA 2018, they presented a new, fixed-magnification riflescope with extra-low-dispersion glass, Sightron SIIISS 45×45 ED.
Because of the ultra high fixed magnification, the scope is great for those who compete in Benchrest 50 and similar disciplines. Benchrest shooters will find the model appealing because it is of the highest optical quality. With the introduction of this model, Sightron has penetrated the market previously dominated by Leupold and March.
The ED glass contributes to the high-quality images.
At magnification this high, it is important for the image to be crystal
sharp. Its basic function is to eliminate chromatic aberration and add
to the contrast of the images, allowing the user to see more details.
The clicks on the turrets are designed for an absolutely precise POI adjustment – 1/10 MOA.
This is the first riflescope that we know of with clicks so precise.
The riflescope is equipped with turrets, typical for a target scope
(high-profile, covered with caps). The parallax can be adjusted with the
turret on the left (Side Focus). It can be set from 10 yards to
infinity.
Because of the ED-glass, the SIIISS 45×45 ED is sure to become a hit (Sightron already has a decent amount of followers among benchrest shooters). Elevation and windage adjustments that can be manipulated with so precisely are a novelty on the sport shooting market – the 1/10 MOA click value is sure to attract attention.

Customer Reviews
Took the New Sightron 45X to the Range today was a pleasure to use Tracked well very Clear .. This was on a Borden 30 BR it held POI shot 3 IBS Targets 150 with 12 X at 100 not a pleasant day Hot Humid Hazey 96 out there no wind .Can't Beat It for the money
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leupold Competition 45x scopes are quite notorious for not holding POA .
this sightrons offering effecively puts LCS45x out to pasture, Sightrons
new offering has better glass , better mechanicals for same or less $ ,
Leupold Competition 45x is not even a contender anymore.
Used competition scopes i am always vary of as serious competitiors sort
their scopes like all other components, so the ones for sale are mostly
the ones not working all that great. Also scope internals do wear ,
with use

It is a bit better optically than the 10-50x60 Sightron S3 and SV
(non-ED) and likely better optically than any target scope for under
$2k. Delta Stryker 5-50x56 is probably the only sub-$2k competition it
has.

I tested the Sightron 45x on one of Alloy Targets checkers as soon as I
received it. This one graded "perfect" as far as reticle shift--- no
movement at all

It's a nice scope for the money, holds zero and does the job. Not as
clear or bright as my NF but the price tag makes up the difference.

Just got to look thru one this week. Very sharp, clear and bright.
Nothing to compare to side by side. I currently do not have a use for
one but it would be on my short list if I did. According to my source
they are in short supply. Looks like they have a winner.

I have both the Weaver and Sightron. The Sightron is much clearer. I
like the Sightron. I use it for 50 and 100 yards. It is very clear and
the clicks are very positive. I had the Leupold and like this one a
little better. I believe for the price you are getting a great scope.
