SIG SAUER Tango-MSR LPVO 1-6x24mm Waterproof Fogproof Rugged Tactical Hunting Rifle Scope | Second Focal Plane/SFP/F2 | Includes Alpha-MSR Aluminum Mount, Flip-Back Lens Covers

I recently added the SIG Sauer Tango-MSR LPVO 1-6x24mm Waterproof Fog-Proof Rugged Tactical Hunting Scope (Illuminated MSR BDC-6 Reticle, Black) to my AR-15 setup, and I’m honestly blown away by how much value you get for the price. This low-power variable optic (LPVO) is perfect for anyone looking to dip their toes into the LPVO world without dropping a fortune.What I Like: The clarity of the glass is fantastic for a scope in the $280-$350 range. The 6x optical system with low-dispersion glass delivers a crisp, bright sight picture, even in low light, and I’ve had no trouble picking up targets at 50 to 200 yards. The illuminated MSR BDC-6 reticle is a standout—its 1-MOA center dot and horseshoe design make close-range shooting feel like using a red dot, while the Christmas-tree-style holdovers are great for quick bullet drop and windage adjustments at longer ranges. With 11 brightness settings, the reticle stays visible in bright daylight or dim conditions, and the etched design means it’s still usable if the CR2032 battery dies. The included ALPHA-MSR cantilever mount is a huge bonus—solid, easy to install, and no extra cost. The integrated throw lever is smooth for quick magnification changes, and the flip-back lens covers are high quality, laying flat when open.The Specs That Matter: At 18.5 oz and with a 30mm tube, it’s lightweight enough not to weigh down your rifle. The second focal plane (SFP) reticle stays the same size across the 1-6x magnification, which I find perfect for fast target acquisition at 1x. Eye relief is solid at 3.74-3.93 inches, though the eye box can be a bit tight at 6x, especially if your cheek weld isn’t perfect. It’s IPX-7 rated, so it’s waterproof (up to 1 meter) and fog-proof, and I’ve had no issues in wet or humid conditions. The 0.5 MOA turret adjustments are tactile and hold zero well—I zeroed it at 100 yards with 5.56 NATO and had consistent groups after 60 rounds.The Drawbacks: It’s not flawless. The eye box at 6x can be unforgiving, and I needed a 0.42-inch riser to get a comfortable sight picture due to my shooting stance, as one Amazon reviewer noted. The BDC reticle is calibrated for 5.56 NATO, so if you’re shooting other calibers like .300 BLK, you’ll need to build your own drop chart, as it won’t align perfectly. I’m also not the biggest fan of the horseshoe reticle style—some prefer simpler designs—but it’s functional with practice. The mount is great but lacks a quick-detach feature, which would’ve been nice for swapping optics. Lastly, while the glass is clear, it’s not quite on par with high-end scopes like the Trijicon Credo or SIG’s own Tango6T, but that’s expected at this price.Overall: The SIG Sauer Tango-MSR 1-6x24mm is a steal for what it offers. It’s rugged, clear, and versatile, making it ideal for tactical shooting, hunting, or 3-gun competitions on a budget. The included mount, throw lever, and lens covers add insane value, and it’s made in SIG’s Oregon facility, so quality is solid. I’d give it a 4.5/5—knocked half a point for the tight eye box and reticle preference. If you’re looking for an affordable LPVO that performs like a pricier one, this is a no-brainer. Just be ready to tweak your setup for perfect alignment

I would have left 4.5 stars, but i cannot. it deserves more than 4 irregardless.my only gripe is the mount, i dont like those mounts with the nuts that protruding, they create snag points, are prone to loosening, and I bang my finger on them when I rack the charging handle.otherwise a great product

Great clarity ,brightness and color. the build quality is what you would expect from a Sig Saur product. the included mount is fantastic and holds the scope tightly.

This is a very well made and nice scope for the money. I'm not at the point yet of paying thousands of dollars for a scope. I tend to look for well-made scopes in the affordable price range and this scope fits that requirement. I would buy again.

The scope body and mount feel and look great. The glass is acceptable at this price, but definitely has some fish eye effect and limited eye relief.My only real complaint is the dials. The clicks are very soft which is a problem because they’re also coarse at 0.5 MOA. But once it’s sighted in that’s no longer a factor.Would I defend my countries honor with this scope? Nope. But I will shoot paper at 100yds with it. It’s a “cheap scope” so lower expectations but for the price point I don’t think it can be beat. The next closest option is Vortex at double the price so this is a good buy.

I bought it as a amazon return. Had a couple of light scope ring marks. Was like 240.00, so a huge discount. What's not to like? I can't complain. I was formerly issued some really nice stuff -NF, etc... Is this that good? No, its not. Is it quite good? Yes. There's some distortion at 1X but the scopes very clear and bright. Comes with nice mount, rings, pop up lens covers, uses a common battery, illuminated reticle, ballistic drop reticles, horseshoe qcb ring, simple to use, LIFETIME TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY. Is it better than a vortex strike eagle? I think vortex is clearer. I bought this cause it was cheap and I think there's a high probability that whatever slight deficiencies there may be between similar products can be overcome with familiarization. People get Very picky but it's so hard to compare this stuff for average users. Who has all the similar items in one spot to compare? Never seen it. So, if correctly set up and understood with a decent marksman, this thing will allow you to clarify and shoot a 15 inch target out to 500 yards without much problem. And that's a really long ways in many ways. If you get it, you'll be happy I think. If there's a problem, I'll update. BTW. These types of scopes are a real defensive leveler - many years ago there wasn't much like this. This is actually replacing a 40 plus year old weaver 1.5-4.5x. Weaver has better glass but this is a more usable scope. Very very good esp for the $. Not a snob scope. But snobs suck big time - too worried about their elite gear to do much but beach about "inferior". UPDATE: several months later, still good to go. Holds a zero nicely. Finally noticing how big this scope is but I don't see variable power AR scopes getting getting too much smaller and lighter. I'm still very satisfied. If you're on the fence - wait for a deal or returned one and go for it. One thing though, understand and note the reticle and it's ballistic drop marks or you'll never get much out of this set up. The manual doesn't do a great job of delineating these and that'll lead to misses and frustration. The information is available on line. Study alot, understand, and then shoot. Probably the biggest problem in this scope is its vague reticle. It isn't marked or memorable as to distance but since the first tick is 5MOA that mark isn't even usable until about 350 plus yards, further than almost anyone will actually use this scope. All those lower aiming points are kinda moot to most everyone because - wow - you'd be shooting at like 800 plus yards on those lower ones. And that's just too far for a 5.56 unless you're just trying some stunt without much real utility. Wish SIG would have made a devoted 5.56 reticle clearly somehow memorably marked to 500 yards. There are more and more offerings out there now as I edit this is in 2025. Research them. Still, this is a nice affordable scope. Just don't ever think those lower aiming points represent 100 yard increments or you'll be sending rounds into the next zip code.

It’s what you would expect form the Sig, great quality and excellent performance

Great budget LPVO. Would buy 10 times over.
