Rifle Scopes SWFA 12x42 or Argos 6-24x50

[PAYDIRT]

Asking for a friend and I know you guys know more about it than I do. It's going on a Savage 6.5 and all he's going to do is shoot a little on the weekend, nothing serious, maybe a little wild hog action. The Athlon I'd $70 more.

I own the SWFA 12x42 and I’ve done a bit of of hog hunting in southern Texas. I love the swfa for target shooting and prairie dogs, but I think you’ll be lacking in field of view on hogs unless your shots are 150 yards at a minimum. If you have to shoot hogs up close and shoot steel and paper to extended ranges, a 3-12 or 4-16 would pull excellent double duty.

Yep, you'll need the extra FOV the 6x offers.

I've had extremely good luck with my Argos 6-24's. Few complaints for the money.

My bud put the CB and two more on our 15" plate at 978Y a week ago with his, 3 for 3.

Have both, the 12X is now on the bench. The only upside the 12 has is the turrets feel, other than that the Argos is hard to beat for the price.

Agreed

Take a look at this Argos BTR review posted the other day. I think you'll agree that for low price it's the way to go (plus you get a special SH member price, just call and speak with us).
The Argos BTR is available 6-24 as well as 8-36
