    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Classic Line in Mil/Mil

    Forgot I haven't posted these here yet: From left, the 6X42, 10X42, 10X42SF, 12X42, 16X42 and 20X42. I didn't take a whole lot of pics of the exteriors since they look the same as they always have except for the numbering on the turrets. Here are a couple of the Turrets: They're...

    Rifle Scopes trijicon accupoint concern

    Re: trijicon accupoint concern In my opinion, a scope with such limited travel is a poor choice for that round and usage. The .264/6.5G really can be quite accurate to 1000 and beyond and is much fun to shoot at such distances, but it does it with a seriously rainbow-esque trajectory. My...

    Rifle Scopes 20 moa NF base and I cant zero scope

    Re: 20 moa NF base and I cant zero scope If I remember correctly, that particular scope does not have its available mechanical elevation travel centered. In other words, when the reticle is optically centered the scope will have a little down travel available but a great deal more upward...

    Rifle Scopes First or Second Plane Scope....

    Re: First or Second Plane Scope.... Technically it's SFP, as are most fixed power scopes--I guess they're just easier to make that way. Of course as mentioned, it makes no difference in the use of a fixed power scope.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 6x42 for Long Range play?

    Re: Leupold 6x42 for Long Range play? Sure they can work, especially if you primarily practice at large targets, but they’re certainly less than ideal. The scope I’d pick for you given your intended use (which correct me if I’m wrong but is something like: All around general hunting...

    Rifle Scopes 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass?

    Re: 700yd (600 is ok) Precision(ish) AR - glass? As much as I like the ability for good 1-4X's (and 1-6X's even better) to do both CQB and reach out to fairly long ranges, if you spend much time shooting at 600-700 yds you will really enjoy having more power. 1-1.5X on the low end is not...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    Re: SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics An important issue I forgot to mention: The circuit board and contacts underneath the battery, as well as the battery cover have been redesigned and appear to be completely shockproof. So this scope should be completely unaffected by the flickering illumination...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    Re: SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics OK guys, I'll try to answer most of the questions that have been brought up: I have no exact price on it. Obviously it'll be more than the 1-4X but I think they'll keep it pretty reasonable. It should be very competitive with the newer offerings with a high "bang...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 1-6X24HD Pics

    I figured some of you might like some pics. Here you go: It's the same overall length as the 1-4. Notable differences are the eyepiece is slightly longer and the turret housing is larger and farther forward. It is a couple ounces heavier but not too bad at 22 oz. The covered turrets...

    Rifle Scopes Aadmount with Badger angle mount ring cap?

    Re: Aadmount with Badger angle mount ring cap? Hi rawdeal, I don't know for sure, but I think it would be a pretty lucky coincidence if the holes line up. Also IIRC the Badgers use smaller screws so the holes and counterbores would likely need to be opened up. The good news is I'm in the...
