Opinions - Sig Sauer Tango 6t LPVO

[BMC73]

Looking for a LPVO for my 14.5 GeisseleSD/LMT build.

Been looking at the Sig Sauer Tango 6t.

Anyone have hands experience with them? How is the glass, reticle, illumination?

They're fine, but there are better options in the price range.

US Military is buying these...

Thanks, Viper I assume and what else?

NX8

I have both the NX8 1-8x24 and Tango 6T - Both have good glass and illumination. Running a Mil C on the NX8 and the 556/762 horseshoe on the 6T. I have been very impressed by the clarity and brightness of the 6T especially at a price point of less than $1K. The NX8 eye relief sux for me. I find the 6T to be much faster but the dot is a little large for longer range target shooting. The NX8 works better for me for precision work

NF is coming out with a new reticle for their LpVO's soon. That said, the NX8 isn't very good. I don't have nor do I have any experience with the Sig, but it's still just a foreign manufactured optic with their name slapped on it.

If I were buying right now, I'd save up some more for a Kahles K16i or the Gen 3 Razor 1-10.

Trijicon 1x8 is badass if you can find one buy it! I love mine it's a tank!

There is a 1x6 on here right now for 1600 I am sure he will come down a couple hundred which makes it a steal!

The K18i is optically the best SFP LPVO hands down. I've tried a truckload of LPVOs and its just unreal and still remains on my fav carbine today.
The S&B Short Dot Dual CC 1-8 is considered the best FFP LPVO
Both of those are expensive.

Vortex Razor 1-6 (reticle is ok) and 1-10 are good (not too heavy)
Vudu 1-6 is great and actually has a wonderful eyebox for FFP, but turrets don't lock
Vudu 1-8 is good if you don't mind a more simplistic reticle and SFP
Tango 6's are just fine optics as well as they are made at LOW Japan

I don't look at 34mm LPVOs, maybe for an AR10 (I don't look at those either) but they just don't make sense to me nor do I think they are necessary, especially at the weight penalty.

As much as I love Nightforce products, I did not like the NX8. I do like the new reticle...a lot.

The LPVO world is still full of trade offs. No one has made a perfect one. Yet....
