    $599.95



    Oh. Wait. I guess when we are talking David that is a VERY cheap scope. But not for us normal mortals.



    P.S. I wish you lived up here too.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    What David means is anything that we can afford is cheap.

    I was referring to YF: "Jesus man.... pretty sure the SWFA 10X isn't a cheap scope. I'm going to have to dislike for posting the same picture you've already bragged about. Sorry TS."

    I have not seen the Savage rifle so I figured YF was referencing that it too had a 10X. I LOVE the SWFA scopes and think they are the BEST value... tough as nails, excellent repeatability, and good glass. Now SWFA does have some higher priced ones...

    Cheap in price- YES Cheap in quality- NO

    I could get that scope and take your precision rifle class? Is that a good one you would suggest?

    The SWFA fixed 10X scopes are a damn good buy. I've used a couple out past 1000 yards and had no problems with repeatability (turrets returning to zero). The glass/image is clear and quite nice considering the low cost.

    SWFA makes a few different versions, MIL/MIL (mil dot reticle/MIL adjustments); MIL/MOA (mil dot reticle/MOA adjustments), rear parallax adjustment, side parallax adjustment, fixed 10x, 12x, 16x, and 20x as well as variable power.

    I'd highly recommend the fixed 10x, rear parallax adjustment, MIL/MIL for $299... if you're on a budget, if not, and you don't mind an extra $100, get the side parallax adjustment at $399. Neither is necessarily "better", just design.

    I've heard the 16x and 20xare not as clear... besides, 10x is quite adequate out to 1000 yards.

    Hope this helps...
