    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    I really appreciate all the replies. I've been digging around deeper in the scope eval threads and have really learned a lot there as well. I have to admit, I appreciate the logic in the following quote in the Credo 3-9x40 Q&A threads as far as comparing to the SWFA 3-9x: And this:

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    So here is where I am now 1) SWFA SS HD 3-9x42 - Top choice right now...but backorder only 2) Zeiss Conquest V4 3-10x44 - eliminated 3) Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40 - would love to see a drop test on this one as it seems popular on rokslide...but can't imagine it would pass. Eliminated. 4) Burris...

    Has a drop test actually been done on the SWFA 3-9x42 here? I found one for the 6x SWFA and the Credo 3-9x40.

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    Looked harder at the Credo. From the looks on the website and several reviews, I think I like the reticle on the SWFA better. The SWFA reticle just looks like it would work out better for my uses.

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    Looking at the Credo 3-9x40...specs look good...Any reticle recommended over the other? Does red or green matter?

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    I actually looked at the Swaro Z3 when I first started looking...based on swaro reputation. I have since read some things about this particular model (Z3) that leads me to believe it may not be appropriate for a muzzleloader. Reliability/ability to take recoil is my number one consideration here.

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    How do the SWFA 3-9x40 and the 6X compare glass wise between each other? I like that the 6x has an adjustable parallax.

    So would the Zeiss Conquest V4 also be considered middle of the road glass nowadays? I have an older Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 and I consider that glass excellent...but I do not have a $2000+ scope to compare it to either.

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    That is the one I am leaning towards now. I don't think I really need to dial for my use, but I do like that this scope has passed impact tests well. The only thing I am not sure of is the glass on the SWFA. I've never seen one...didn't even know about one until a few weeks ago. How would it...

    Need a new scope after 20 years...market has changed

    I did read those. Main reason I kicked out the Leupold. I did not see any tests for the Zeiss and Burris I listed. You listed the Credo HX and not the regular Credo as a possibility. Any reason why? I see they have a 3-9x40 in the standard Credo.

    New guy saying hello

    Saying hello! I've recently come into the market for a scope and search engines led me to this forum. I've learned a lot already from Form's scope reviews. Joined to post a few questions I had.
