Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!
I've been trying to stay away from this thread but it keeps making it back to the top, I can't resist coming back in. It was 8 months ago now since Jon put up that first review that hooked me. At that time I was just starting to collect the parts I would need for my LR-308 assembly. I got her up and running in, I think it was April, memory is a shambles. Desperate to shoot her, I found a USO 1.5-8x28 FFP, JNG, MOA/MOA scope from at the Optics for sale forum here at snipers hide. It came with a La Rue SPF 1.5 QD mount all for $800, so I jumped on it thinking it may be some time before this SS 1-6x24 HD was in my hands. Well I was right, but that's okay. Then I since broke down again and got an SS 12x42 about 1.5 months ago because the USO just doesn't cut it for precision range work for when I do my load development. I couldn't tell whether the ammo was shit or I just couldn't see the target through that thick JNG FFP reticule @ 6 power. SS 12x42 proved to me I couldn't see target well enough for precision with the USO, plus my eyes sucking now. I'm hoping the SS 1-6 with it's open center at 6x will perform better than the USO does for these purposes but really I wanted the illumination and that bad ass new reticule design. SS 12x for range precision and SS 1-6 for hunting and, dare I say, possible but I dunno if likely, SHTF, hahaha.....
But anywho, since SWFA showed up here with update there isn't really anything that we can say or do more with this thread. So should we do something else with it? How bout show off you hardware the new SS 1-6x HD is intended for? And the SS 5-20x HD too. And talk about what you got under the hood, too, if you want. There is just one caveat to this, If you want to play you have to show pics. If you do not show pics you are a stinking lowlife of a liar douche bag who should be banned from SH.
If you think this to be dumb and don't care I understand, because it is dumb, hahaha, but I care!!
But anyway, I'll start, of course....
