    Rifle Scopes Absolute Best Fixed Power Scope?

    These scopes are fantastic. If I had to choose "just one" fixed power scope, this would be it.

    anyone use a 22-250 with 1/8 twist barrel?

    That's the sort of numbers I am used to seeing. 75 grain bullet at 2750-2900 fps out of a 223 Remington. Clark threw me with the +3200 fps claim. That's +300 fps faster than anything I've ever seen.

    Rifle Scopes swfa 3-15x42 vs weaver 3-15x50 tactical emdr

    That SS ( SWFA SS 3-15x42 Tactical Rifle Scope ) is a small-ish and light scope for its power. Certainly lighter than the Weaver ( Weaver Tactical Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 3-15x 50mm 1/10 Mil Adjustments ). Weaver has illumination though. I think the SWFA SS will make an excellent hunting scope...
