what did I miss out on? Curious to know what was included in the SWFA KIT 6 and the KIT7 group buy packages..and if another SWFA group buy is in the works. Got the hots for SWFA! trying to decide on a fixed power...10x ? 12X? or 16x? Drooling over the 5x-20x...but the wallet can't handle that right now. Just getting back into shooting after being away for 30 years.
 
Re: SWFA KIT6 and KIT7

The original 10x is very good scope. Now that it is going to have mil turrets even better! I had one mounted on my 300 wsm for about 1000 rounds a never had a hiccup. The scope did everything I asked of it, and always returned to zero.
The 12x sounds really interesting as well, but IMHO, once you get into the 16x or 20x they start getting to dim.
The glass on the originals are very adequate...Better than most at the price point, but not breath taking either. And when you add more magnification to the same glass/exit pupil, it just gets less light through the scope.
The H.D. version of the 10x is a totally new scope on the inside. It has upgraded internal mechanisms, as well as improved glass. It has really taken an already very robust scope to a different level of tough!
The 5-20 is simply amazing! Save your pennies, it's worth it!
