    Rifle Scopes EVERY person who has a SWFA 5x20 get in here NOW!

    Thanks for all the interest, guys. All orders have shipped and we have more in stock. For those ordering more than one--our shopping cart isn't real smart so it charges shipping for both. Until we get that figured out, we will refund the appropriate amount and ship them together. If you...

    My new 6.5 Grendel

    Yeah, it's not the velocity you gain with the Grendel. It's that the various 123's have higher BC's than the .308 bullets commonly used (a little better than the 175, quite a bit better than the 168, etc). It's certainly not a huge gain, but any gain at all from the smaller round is something...

    New build for the 6.5 Grendel Wildcat fans... 6mm Fat Rat

    I'll say. I just shot a 7.5" group at 1000 yds with fireforming rounds in less than ideal conditions. This round rocks.

    New build for the 6.5 Grendel Wildcat fans... 6mm Fat Rat

    Thanks, I'm still getting the feel for this round. My current FF load with the 105 Hybrid is 31 grains of CFE223 which is giving around 2815 in warm weather from my 28". I didn't really intend to have a FF load that "full power" but it shot so well I didn't feel like changing it. CFE223 is...

    Thanks guys. Yes, it also fits the illuminated knob. Hopefully this will help out the people who find their knobs harder to operate than they'd like. I've got them up on the site now for pre-orders: Parallax Gripper for SWFA 5-20X50HD . Expect them to ship in about three weeks.

    Erik, What velocities do you end up at with the 105's? I assume that's a 28" barrel?

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated vs non-illuminated, SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 advice

    It's working. It's intended for precision shots in the dark. Like this: If it's light enough you can see your reticle, you don't really need it. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't complain if they improved the illumination on this scope to give it a wider range of brightness with less...

    New build for the 6.5 Grendel Wildcat fans... 6mm Fat Rat

    Very nice build! If you can find some CFE 223 I'm finding that works pretty well in my 6mm AR Turbo.

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated vs non-illuminated, SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 advice

    Have you guys used the scope to actually shoot something at long range, 20 or more minutes after sundown? That's what the illumination is for in this scope. While it may look ugly in the daylight, if you actually ever use it in the field for its intended purpose, you'll find it works quite...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    27 MOA slope might just be the sweet spot for this scope; you may be able to get a 100 yd zero which is the most simple, if not 300 is a nice round number. You'd have enough "up" elevation to get you quite a ways beyond 1000 with that setup. If you want to shoot ELR (1500-2000+) and need...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 FFP for Varmints?

    Yup, and you can turn it down a bit for nasty mirage and still do the same thing.

    Best AR15 Caliber for Med-Long range Steel Matches

    I used a 24”. I ran relatively mild loads in the 2325-2350 fps range using TAC depending upon the weather. 2520 would beat that by about 50 fps at similar accuracy/guesstimated pressures. With CFE223 or VV N540 you can push close to 2400 fps safely I believe but I never had any of that on...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24 FFP for Varmints?

    For that use you should be fine. It'll be a little thick on the squirrels at that range but still usable, and just fine for the chucks. Much farther than that on squirrels or p-dogs and you might wish for a thinner reticle. I have this scope mounted on my .204 Ruger for similar use, by the...

    Best AR15 Caliber for Med-Long range Steel Matches

    Are you going to reload? I shot the JC Steel match (75 yds - 1150 yds) with a 6mm AR Turbo and did pretty well: I was impressed with how it did and I wasn't even shooting full power loads yet. As a longtime Grendel shooter I like that round a lot and if you're going to use factory ammo...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 3-15X42 Classic

    OK, I’ve spent some time now comparing glass on this thing and now I’m even more impressed. Lots of people were asking how it is compared with the SS 3-9: With both set on 9X, the 3-15 has noticeably better resolution than my 3-9. It’s a pretty noticeable difference. Now resolution isn’t...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 3-15X42 Classic

    While the 3-9 may not technically be an HD, I don't consider it a Classic either as it is made in the same factory as the HD's, has the HD-style turrets, eyepiece, focus and power ring.... Anyway, I was comparing it with the fixed powered classics. I'll need to spend more time comparing it...

    Rifle Scopes The unofficial official snipershide.com prerelease review of the SWFA SS 3-15x42....

    Keep in mind in my lousy pics, further reduced to fit on the computer screen, the reticle washes out in the photos but doesn't look like that in real life. It's much easier to see in real life than it looks like in my pics. But yes, the center lines are thinner than the 3-9 by a ways--a...
