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

TS,
not trying to take credit for anything, as I did not shoot, or Load the ammo..
bob has a class coming up on loading
ammo is one component, just like rifle, optics, and shooter.. Bob goes over this in his PR course.
handloads allow you to tune the ammo to the gun to what it likes the best.
that is the only point I was making.
and YES, I am looking forwad to Bobs Class,
you saw my 193 10x target at 300 yards.. they were my first loads..
so if discussing that drums up more interest in his class, so be it.
You have seen first hand what handloads can do over factory ammo..
just shooting lead, not jacketed, I can make 9 or 38 for 5 bux a box, 45 for 6.50 bux a box..
I guess I'm missing the point if this is a thread about the benefits of reloading.
I don't think David is mad... he's easy going and I think he's just poking at you for fun... thanks though for you guys trying to get more folks to come to the class... we have about 7 or 8 as it is... the more the better.
Make sure to bring a grill out treat, your range toys, and LOTS of ammo. After class is social powder burning time...

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...

Would Mil/Mil or Mil/MOA be better suited for your class?
This scope also seems to get high praise.
