SIGHTRON Announces the New S-TAC 1-6x24 AR1 Riflescope: First Look

SIGHTRON announces the launch of the new S-TAC 1-6x24 AR1 LPVO riflescope, an excellent choice for modern sporting rifles chambered in .223 / 5.56mm. “We are laser-focused on developing best-in-class riflescopes at excellent prices,” says John Long, National Sales Manager, SIGHTRON. “The S-TAC 1-6x24 AR1 employs Japanese optical glass and camera-grade multi-coatings to provide the best possible viewing experience in the sub-$500 price point.” At the core of the design are 13 meticulously crafted Japanese optical glass lenses. Combined with SIGHTRON’s exclusive MC-333 multi-coating technology, each lens gets 3 layers of camera grade multi-coatings applied to both sides for a combined 6 layers on each lens. That is a total of 78 layers throughout the optical design for the best possible light transmission, contrast, and clarity. This means you can locate and stay on target in the harshest lighting conditions. 

The NEW throw lever design lets you reposition the "Fin" to one of 16 positions on the magnification dial; set the position of the fin at 1x, 6x or any position in between. This makes it easy for right or left-handed users to customize this scope to work best for their style. The S-TAC AR1 reticle is purpose-built for modern sporting rifles chambered in .223 and 5.56mm. The illuminated halo helps with fast target acquisition at close range while the illuminated center dot ensures accurate mid-range target placement. The non-illuminated, easy-to-see drop bars indicate holdovers between 300-600 yards with additional indicators for 5 and 10mph crosswinds. 

Never experience reticle drift again. SIGHTRON utilizes their exclusive ExacTrack erector tube system to deliver consistent, reliable, and repeatable adjustments, even at the extreme edges of the scope's adjustments.  This means 1/4 MOA click values are the same at 50 MOA as they are at zero. The scope is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, weighs only 22.4 oz and is shock-rated to 1,000G’s for more than 10k cycles. It can handle large caliber rounds and is Airgun rated. Of course, 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. The new S-TAC and all SIGHTRON riflescopes are backed by a Lifetime Performance Guarantee.
