Create a channel Learn moreI've read that as well about the 16x and 20x. This will be primarily a bench rest gun so I don't think that the tighter eyebox will be that much of an issue for me. I wish SFWA sold their optics locally so I could pick them all up and look through them to make my decision.I had a SWFA 10x and its a good scope for the money. Decent glass, solid tracking and robust design. I have heard that the 16x and 20x suffer a bit in terms of resolution and eyebox when compared to the 10x and 12x models. The extra magnification may not benefit you as much as you might think.
I live in Alabama so we definitely have some heat to deal with. It'll be on a 22lr so I'll only be taking it out to 300 yards or so. Would I have mirage issues with it being just 300 yard shots?If you like a lot of magnification the 20x other than that i would go for a 10x
Mirage is going to be hell with the 20x. You may be happier with a SS 16x or a 4-16x variable. If you plan on shooting small targets more power usually helps but with that said you also have to worry about mirage.

Did you have a sunshade on it? Thanks for the info - that's the first I've read about the glare.I’ve had the 6x, the 10x, the 16x and the 10x HD. No way I’d do the 16x again. The eye box is very critical and glare at low sun angles is horrible. 10x all the way.

I've used every fixed power swfa except the 20. Hands down the 10x is the sharpest, best performing optically out of the bunch by far in my opinion.10x or 12x I loooove my 10x on my .223
Well, I popped for the 12X MRAD and a pair of Vortex rings to go on the RPR in 6mm Creed that I also popped for today. I've been on enabler forums before, but this one beats them all.
I was gone from this forum for a while, I’ve only been back a few weeks but it has already cost me a new rifle, scope mount, and scope. And $300 in ammo... I still need dies, powder, bullets.... better brass, range finder...........enabling?Well, I popped for the 12X MRAD and a pair of Vortex rings to go on the RPR in 6mm Creed that I also popped for today.

How far would you place the brick in the one picture? I am looking at one of these but I only shoot 550 yards max. Also, I may have missed but what reticle is that ? Thanks.

What rings is everyone using? I understand we all have different guns, I'll be using mine on an AR10 and AR15. Any recommendations?
If interested in a 1-piece, the Seekins MXM is nice and priced right. I don't see it get much pub, but its what I use to swap scope between AR and my RPR.
