    Rifle Scopes SWFA 16X , and others? Opinions

    Mmm , so this is somthing I was curious of but your the first to mention it. Dark as in enough to be considered good for practical use in most daylight conditions, or just darker then say a Leopoldo fixed 16x or Something to that effect. I ask because the swfa 16x is what I have been leaning...

    Maggie’s The most interesting sniper in the world...

    He fluted the first barrel ever, with his fingernails. He does not use a suppressor, rifles refuse to speak above a whisper in is presence. The first silicone cloths were made after samples of his ball sweat was collected and genetically cloned. When he was just a small boy he ate a 7.62X51...
