    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    Great posts, thank you. I took an Eotech off of an AR and put it on the SCAR 17. I shot 80 rounds and the Eotech is still functioning.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    I'm with you, but it made me wonder. Also, I'm OC with a wild imagination :)

    Thanks, and I would like to think so. This is probably just crazy bad luck..

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    I don't know exactly, but there was mention of its recoil impulse. I didn't believe it at all, but after reading it and having two scopes fail within a few rounds, I had to wonder..

    So Super Sniper scopes are junk and fall apart regularly?

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    This is a spin off to this thread: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-rifle-scopes/220779-swfa-ss-parallax-knob-fell-off.html I'm wanting feedback from experienced shooters as to what are the most rugged scopes. By rugged, I mean that holds up to the beating a FN SCAR gives them...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    I'm thinking a SCAR optic needs to be very rugged. So I'm wondering what the more experienced shooters think the most rugged scopes are. ACOG for sure, but what other scopes qualify as being very rugged?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    Thanks all, but I'm really wondering about the rumor about SCARs eating optics. I read something about the recoil impulse being different somehow. It's a dream to shoot and has minimal felt recoil, they come with the PWS brake. The first scope, the entire knob and it's internals came off...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    Day 2 (Saturday) the replacement scope failed as well. Something came loose inside and it's blocking half of the reticle.. So, I won't be buying anymore SS scopes. I'm sending the second scope back for refund. I don't know if they just had a bad run, or if there's something to the rumor of...

    Rifle Scopes BC Scope caps. Anyone given up?

    Agreed, the originals were great. I still have a set that's been on a Leopold 3.5-10 Vari-X 3 since I bought it about 20 years ago and they still work great..This is on a hunting rifle that spent 13 years in Alaska getting beat up on snowmachines and four wheelers..

    Love this rifle..

    I'm going to rant some more about how much I love this rifle. To express how much I do, let me put it this way. If I could get reasonable prices for some of my other firearms (2 ARs, 2 AKs, a PTR 91, etc..), I would sell them all and get another SCAR 17 and a 16. Much like the other poster...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    Update: received replacement scope today. I got it mounted and went to the range. I'm really impressed with this scope for its price point..Also, SWFA really came through for me..

    Rifle Scopes SS 3-15x42 FFP

    I don't know why this scope isn't more popular. It has good glass, reticle and magnification range, all at a great price. The only thing it's really missing is zero stop and If it isn't being used for competition, this shouldn't be an issue. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a better scope...
