I'm 69 years old, left eye is dominant. I have minor astigmatism in my right eye. I have an internal flaw (can't even begin to pronounce or spell the name of it) in my left eye that causes vertical lines to appear wavy. I had cataract surgery in both eyes, but I went with premium Baush & Lomb Crystal lens implants that actually can auto focus using your eye's own muscles and they work very well. But you can imagine my concerns trying to determine what type of optic I should purchase. I don't do well with red-dots even Aimpoints as the dot appears distorted. I don't like EOTech's holographic sights as the reticle appears fuzzy or blurry not well defined. High power scopes don't work sell for me. So I checked out a SIG BRAVO 3x24 lighted reticle scope.
It appears to be a brother from another mother, very similar if not identical to several other manufactures such as: Burris 3X, Vortex Spitfire 3X, Primary Arms 3X, BSA 3X, and I probably missed a couple. I think Burris was the first manufacture to introduce this scope and many of it's clones have been on the market for years. About the only thing unfavorable I've read about any of them is that their a little heavy compared to some alternatives. I don't think SIG actually manufactures and optics they've been putting their name on in recent years, not that it matters. I haven't been able to find too many reviews on the SIG BRAVO, not sure how long it's been out. But the reviews & videos on the Burris, Vortex and Primary Arms have been favorable. Below is features and specifications on this sight.
