    Rifle Scopes SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy

    Re: SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy That's on 20X at 1000 yds. The third pic is a zoom in of the second pic.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy

    Re: SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy Yeah, the 1000 yd pic was in the heat with some mirage. I was surprised it turned out as well as it did. I find the scope very friendly to the eye. The eyebox is nice and big and easy to get behind, the focus isn't picky so your eye can stay...

    Rifle Scopes First scope with adjustable turrets question

    Re: First scope with adjustable turrets question Actually on that scope those are MOA, not Mils. Their more expensive scopes have .1 Mil clicks but that change hasn't made it down to the original line yet. I've played with a few of those scopes and while their clicks aren't always as crisp...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy

    Re: SWFA SSHD 5-20x50 scopes from the group buy Here are a couple more shots of the reticle: 300 yds on 5X: 1000 yds on 20X: That's a 12" circle.

    Rifle Scopes using a plumb line to align the scope

    Re: using a plumb line to align the scope Personally, I'd send that scope back. If the reticle is really canted 2 degrees, that will cause error at long range. For example, if you need 10 mils to get to 1000 yds it'll introduce just over a foot of lateral error. If you level to the turrets...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50 Are either of your PST's the 6-24? They're a cut above in my opinion. Anyway I agree with the preference of the 5-20 SS HD, but it is a fair amount more money than the PST if bought new now.

    Rifle Scopes Spuhr VS Aadmount

    Re: Spuhr VS Aadmount Thanks for the interest, but my AR mount would be much too high for a bolt rifle. It's just a poor fit. For this type of use I usually recommend a riser rail such as Badger's for the AR and a set of low rings on the scope so it's at a better height for both the AR...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50 No worries; I realize that's not what you want to do. I just wanted to state for the record that for those who do quality rings on a picatinny rail can be very repeatable. To help with scope choice--it's my opinion that the PST 6-24 is a lot...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24X50 or Leupold Mk4 8.5-25X50 Uhm, would you like to try a pair and see for yourself? While not proprietary, a quality picatinny rail provides all you need for a pair of rings to attach precisely the same way every time if they’re designed well (and yes, there are many...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20 illum bleed enlightenment

    Re: SWFA 5-20 illum bleed enlightenment I know I’m sounding like a broken record here, but since I’ve used a couple of these scopes a ton and many who are complaining haven’t actually used the illumination in the field (or use the illumination on any scope much) it bears repeating. I really...

    Rifle Scopes Mark IV LR/T Illuminated. Are they worth 1K+?

    Re: Mark IV LR/T Illuminated. Are they worth 1K+? I fully agree there are applications for which smaller and lighter scopes may be desirable. This year I hunted with a 3-24X March. And yes, that size advantage cost a pretty penny. But at least in that case, I felt the level of quality...

    Rifle Scopes PR reticle opinions

    Re: PR reticle opinions I feel the Gen II is a great fit for the 3-15X. Unless you spend all you time on 15X shooting mostly paper and varmints (in which case you might be better off with the 5-25X) it'll do well.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA's HD lineup

    Re: SWFA's HD lineup The 3-9 is a very nice scope for the money, but there is a noticeable step up in glass quality in both the 5-20 and 10XHD. Between the 10XHD and 5-20 set on 10X I don't think you can tell a difference in image quality.

    Rifle Scopes NF or SWFA scope??

    Re: NF or SWFA scope?? As to the OP’s original question, in my opinion the choice depends upon what features you want the most. As of right now, the two companies don’t make scopes with the same features for an apples-to-apples choice. So, as I feel quality is very similar between the two...
