KyHunter308, I have the SI model. Its a fine scope. To go along with that I have 2 Leupolds Vari-X II and a VX-1, I also have a Swift 3X10 44 ?. The Swifts are an exellent product also. A great value for the money. I think the Sightron compares with the vari-x II. For the best deal I have found has been the Swift. Great optics at a great price. Larry
