SIGHTRON's New S6 Turrets Lock In Zero for Long-Range Shooters

November 12, 2026

SIGHTRON has added locking turrets to three configurations of its S6 5-30x56 ED IR riflescope line, giving long-range shooters and hunters an extra safeguard against unintended dial movement.

Snapshot

The update applies to three S6 5-30x56 models, each built on a 34mm main tube with SIGHTRON's ExacTrack adjustment system and a zero-stop feature. According to GUNS Magazine, the new locking turrets are meant to prevent accidental changes to windage or elevation settings in the field, while the rest of the scope's rugged, Japan-made construction stays the same.

Key points

  • Three locking-turret models: a second focal plane MOA-7 IR version at $1,899.99, plus first focal plane MH-7 IR and MOA-8 IR versions at $1,999.99 each.
  • Optical upgrades: Extra-Low Dispersion glass and SIGHTRON's Zact-7 Revcoat Plus coatings are built in to improve clarity, contrast and light transmission, with an 11-setting illuminated reticle.
  • Build and durability: the 34mm tube, 16.7-inch length and 36-ounce weight carry a nitrogen-charged, O-ring-sealed design rated IPX7 waterproof and shockproof to 1,000 Gs.
  • Included accessories: flip-up lens covers, a 3-inch sunshade, a removable throw lever, tools, battery and cleaning cloth ship with every model.
  • Backed by warranty: the S6 series carries SIGHTRON's Lifetime Performance Guarantee.

Quick take

For shooters who dial elevation and windage often, a locking turret is a simple but meaningful change that addresses a real-world frustration rather than a cosmetic tweak. Paired with SIGHTRON's existing ED glass and tracking system, this update looks aimed squarely at long-range hunters and competitors who need their zero to stay put between shots.
