I’m giving up for now on the nonexistent 6x SWFA. I need a scope. Since I limit myself to 400 yards. Is there a good scope option with hold over reticles and not dialing turrets that the RS crew recommends ? PFA

I was kinda also thinking a non dialing setup would be very reliable in the deer woods ?

Fair enough on not paying more than retail, though I agree with others that something so hard to get may fetch a premium price. I’m sorry to tell you, but if $500 is too much money, then a reliable scopes will be hard to find.

That said, perhaps start a thread in optics forum stating your budget, intended use and any other requirements or prior to that do a deep search as many have asked similar questions in the past.

Edit to add - Also read over the scope evaluations if you haven’t already done so:

I have a Burris Fullfield E1 4.5-14x with the long range moa reticle that provides a hash mark every 1 moa for 20 moa on windage and elevation. For a set and forget scope, it works and give way more precision than a standard bdc reticle. They can be had for less than $200 if you look around.

I like that setup. I’m leaning toward a hold over setup. Thanks brother

Haven’t ran over one with a Cat but I’ve got a couple Sightron STAC’s that have treated me very well.

Of what is currently available in the sub $900 catogory, this is what I would choose-

That is a far better scope than any others that have been mentioned.

 

[Nomosendero]

That looks good but are there any FFP scopes under 1500.00 that have can be used at lower powers for older guys?

I will look at the Maven, thanks

Do you plan to test the RS.2? Looks like a reasonable alternative to the SWFA UL, or to the not so reliable Leupolds.

I’ve been looking at the SFP Trijicon Credo’s because of your testing and the SWFA 3-9 being tough to find. Do you have any information on whether the Sightron will hold zero? I didn’t see it in the list of tested scopes.

Is there a drop test forthcoming for this scope?

Kenko, who owns Sightron, is who makes the fixed power SWFA scopes. That bodes well for them…and the ExacTrack system is solid.
