    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    If Chris Sr. is still in charge, I would bet things are squared away. But, I am not sure if someone else is running the show now. Maybe Jr. or someone else, and I don't know if Senior's knowledge and commitment have been handed off. It won't take long before we get reports, if there are major...

    Why not more DIY “big eyes”?

    I would expect the 65 to be better corrected than the 80.

    New Sig Zulu

    Gritr shows the Zulu6 in stock and on sale, for 30mm and 42mm models. I'd imagine Labor Day sales are just around the corner. $1500+ for the 50mm seems steep to me, unless the optical quality has improved.

    Reliable Two-Stage Triggers

    When I was using Timneys (single stage), I would set overtravel to the max. Opposite what many people have been led to believe, that you want a solid "wall". I don't have any 2-stage TT, but the single-stage TT that I have is the least reliable for freezing compared to a Timney single-stage...

    Q&A for ZCO 4-20x50mm Field Eval

    Here's an idea... Get Jeff Huber, Formi, Ryan, and Unknown Guy on the podcast. If possible, add someone knowledgeable about actual scope design and limitations.

    Q&A for ZCO 4-20x50mm Field Eval

    I get your message. In Jeff's defense, he is not an engineer. He's super knowledgeable, and knows what questions to ask, but he's not the technical guy that some claim him to be. I don't think that he has ever claimed to be a scope expert. And I have not heard or read any wild claims from...

    Upgrading from Vortex to Swaro - Why?

    If you have sunshine, just simulate a worse case scenario with your viewing direction and angle. You just need some direct light to enter the objective. Takes seconds to check. I just compared the 8x32, 10x32, 8x42, and 10x42 NL. The 10x models were my favorite even though I generally prefer...

    Upgrading from Vortex to Swaro - Why?

    At 1.5 miles, with 10x?

    Upgrading from Vortex to Swaro - Why?

    PS - how is the glare with the NL?

    Upgrading from Vortex to Swaro - Why?

    I think you are approaching it with a decent perspective. Are you sure about seeing the ear flick at 1.5 miles though, with a 10x? Just keep in mind that a pleasing image (i.e. from NL) may encourage one to view more. Viewing more may reveal more. Seeing more increases confidence. More use...

    Best spotting scope under 1000

    The Kowa 663/664 is a decent scope, especially if you get a good one. It's fairly light but sizable. Many people prefer the fixed 30x over the zoom. I had both with the 664. I agree with some of the other members who suggested using what you already have. That said, every Vortex spotter that...
