Overview
The Sightron S6 10-60x56 ED is a benchrest and long-range scope built around two extra-low dispersion glass elements and a 34mm main tube, with exposed zero-reset turrets for repeatable dialing.
Sightron positions this as a step up from its SIII 10-50x60 LR line, citing a 55 percent resolution gain from the added ED glass, a manufacturer comparison rather than an independent test. The more concrete story is in the parts: ZACT-7 Revcoat multi-layer coating on a 56mm objective, and a second focal plane MOA-BD reticle with a dot-enhanced center. The 60x top end marks this as a target and benchrest tool rather than a hunting scope.
- 10-60x56 magnification range
- Extra-low dispersion glass
- 1/8 MOA zero-reset turrets
- 34mm main tube
Who it's for
Benchrest and long-range target shooters who want high magnification and fine 1/8 MOA click adjustments. Not built as a compact hunting scope given its size and top-end power.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- ED glass reduces chromatic aberration

- Large 56mm objective adds bulk
- No rating or review data available yet
Performance notes
Two ED glass elements paired with ZACT-7 Revcoat multi-layer coating are aimed at reducing chromatic aberration and improving light transmission through the 56mm objective. The second focal plane MOA-BD reticle holds a constant apparent size regardless of zoom, with a dot-enhanced center for aiming. Exposed zero-reset turrets deliver 1/8 MOA per click across a 34mm main tube.
