Re: SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil
Just got my 10x in. Wow, the turrets are different. They feel A LOT better than the older models and they don't have the mushy feel to them anymore. Great improvement! The glass looks to be a different tint to them also compared to the old model. I'll check clarity tomorrow at the range if it doesn't rain.

I just seen that they got a bunch of scopes in stock. 10x42M I want one. I like the side focus vs rear focus option.

Not everyone is so receptive. Check out our Facebook post announcing the new Mil/Mil versions.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Delson Alexander:</span> Really dislike the Mil adjustments. Aftet using MOA for so long I just can't wrap my head around that math while in the field. Everybody else seems to like them after the Military switched over, but working with them is not fun. The scopes are awesome though, glad you dig yours..
<span style="font-weight: bold">SWFA.com:</span> MOA and MIL are both angular measurments. The days of mixing the two on the same platform are over. The first step is to think in angular measurments instead of linear. In most cases new users of mil/mil scopes make it over complicated. Here is a post on OpticsTalk my nephew did that might help. http://www.opticstalk.com/​si...203;_topic32905_post469476.htm​l#469476
<span style="font-weight: bold">Delson Alexander:</span> The days of mixing the two "are over"? Sorry, I guess I'm not tactically hip...that is ridiculous! MOA adjustments for a Mil-Dot reticle have worked for what, about 40 years? It is quick, it makes sense, and it is a suberb learning/instructing platform to aid in the differentiation between Minute of Angle and the ubiquitous Milradian. .10 Mil adjustments? WTF? The Hell with MOA? Guess I am just not with it. It was really dissappointing to see Leupold do this, now you guys? Where am I going to send my new students for glass now? It's a damn bandwagon.

Re: SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil
I appreciate the irony - using Facebook as a platform to gripe about new-fangled matching reticle/turret scopes.

That reads kind of like the 6.5mm vs. 308 threads here...
"Its worked forever, who needs something else?"
"Just because its worked forever doesn't mean there is an easier, dare I say better, way to accomplish the same thing."
"I DON'T LIKE CHANGE"

Just opened my pair of 10x Mil/Mil's........DAMN these are impressive. These are the optics I have been saying I wanted them to offer for 3 yrs and they are going to be hard to beat.

Re: SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil
12x arrived today. Very impressive piece of kit for the money. Glass is clear, reticule is crisp. Can't wait to get it on the gun & put it to use. Thank you SWFA!

Haters gonna hate.
But really, I can't stand that same ole, " I've dun it dis way for up-teen yeers, I cants stand you " attitude.
SWFA, you've done a great job. And thank you for bringing something to the market, that I believe, most have been asking for, for a long while now. Kudos.

Absolutely, Mil/Mil made it much faster for me. Really like the new reticle too.

Re: SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil
Got mine yesterday. I'm really liking the reticle, and it's clear enough to identify cars on the freeway almost 2 miles away. The eye box is a little touchy, but it shouldnt be a problem once i get used to it. It's new home is my 280 ackley. First long range rig. ($$Hopefully my last$$)

Now I wish they would make a compact spotter with the mil quad reticle in it.

That's about how long it's taking SWFA to release their new-for-2024 scope models.
I just talked to them. There is a schedule. There is inventory.
Not all models at once, but they are coming.
Soon.

Once they are ready to talk about it, I'll have them join me for a livestream and explain the release sequence, etc.
I disagree. I want an illuminated 5-20 or 5-25 with the Christmas tree and zero stops.
