As a seasoned shooter, I was excited to get my hands on the Sig Sauer Tango MSR 1-10x28mm Rifle Scope. With its impressive features and capabilities, I was eager to put it through its paces and see what it had to offer. In this review, I’ll be sharing my experience with this product, including its pros and cons, and providing an in-depth look at its performance.
Unboxing and Initial Impressions
When I first unboxed the Tango MSR, I was struck by its sleek and compact design. The scope is built to be lightweight and rugged, with a sleek, flat-profile that looks and feels durable. The construction is solid, with a one-piece tube made of 6061-T6 aluminum that provides excellent durability and resistance to scratches and scuffs.
Optical Quality
The most important aspect of any riflescope is its optical quality, and the Tango MSR does not disappoint. The scope features a proprietary BDC10 reticle, which is designed to provide precise aiming points out to 800 yards. The reticle is etched onto the glass, providing a clear and crisp image that is easy to read even in low-light conditions.
The scope’s optical system is built around a high-quality objective lens and a multi-coated, phase-corrected lens, which provides excellent light transmission and clarity. The result is a bright, clear image with excellent contrast and minimal distortion.
Easy to Use and Set Up
The Tango MSR is designed to be easy to use and set up, with a simple and intuitive locking mechanism that secures the scope to the rifle. The scope also features a throw-open, quick-focus eyepiece that allows for rapid adjustment to different magnification settings.
Ergonomics and Durability
The scope’s ergonomic design is designed to fit comfortably into the shooter’s hand, with a contoured gripping surface that provides a secure hold even in wet or cold conditions. The scope also features a protective, recoil-dampening eye cup that helps to reduce eye fatigue and provide a clear, comfortable view.
Performance and Accuracy
In terms of performance, the Tango MSR is a solid performer. I was able to achieve excellent groupings with the scope, with most shots falling within 1-2 MOA at 100 yards. The scope’s BDC10 reticle provided a clear and easy-to-use aiming point, and the scope’s optical quality allowed for accurate and precise aiming.
