I think this thread blew up SWFA's Black Friday sale... Anybody looked at their inventory lately? : )
I'm kind of kicking myself for sleeping on it.. What were 3-9s selling for?

That 4-16 looks interesting. How did you find the Huskemaw system in terms of use and performance?
What was the learning curve like getting used to the Huskemaw system? I've been debating adding one of these for a while...I wasn't the one asked, but hopefully this helps.

My favorite thing about the Huskemaw scopes has been the reliability. I have had that 3-12x in Alaska, Colorado, and around home. It has done a lot of practice shooting and dialing up and down, I'm lucky to have a pasture I can shoot steel in a mile from home. It has never lost zero yet after airlines, bouncing in a UTV, truck, and a lot of abuse. The 300 win mag it's on has added its share of "beauty marks" on these hunts so it's not getting babied. I purchased a used 1-6x I just got mounted on a rifle yesterday that looks like it was really beat on, so we will see if it is still good internally. I expect it will be. The other scopes have not had the abuse the 3-12x has, but I bought most used and have not yet had an issue. Before starting the move to Huskemaw I did some internet searching for dialing failures and similar terms and didn't come up with much. After having a Vortex Viper and a couple Leupold VX-6 scopes have erector system failures I value reliabiity very much.
I have shot the UL’s a bit. Not heavily as a SFP duplex or BDC reticle isn’t very useful to me. Haven’t seen any issues in the little use I have (thousand’ish rounds total on a couple), but that doesn’t mean much.
Alaska Lanche has used them more and reports good performance. He knows what’s up, so I have little concern that he is wrong.
They are coming out with a mil/mil version- that I will use.
Once again proving there are few problems money won't solve.Lightweight scope that dials with zero stop, does it exist?
Yup !!

Tract Toric will check all the boxes. Try it, you'll like it.The new Vortex Razor HD LHT (3-15x42) is feature rich at only 19.1 oz. Locking exposed elevation turret, capped windage, zero stop, parallax adjustment, and illuminated reticle. I ordered one pretty much when they first came out. It’s a great hunting package.

At 34 oz I don't think it checks all the boxes...Tract Toric will check all the boxes. Try it, you'll like it.
I was looking at the wrong model... 22.3 oz, not bad for the price.At 34 oz I don't think it checks all the boxes...
