Yeah, SWFA Fixed are stupid good for $300

Is there any choice other than LEUPOLD ??

Is Leopold really even a viable option anymore?

Last year I bought a Sako A7 longrange from Cabelas and that rifle has really impressed me. I really like the whole set up and would buy another one in a heart beat. It shoots great, is very light and comfortable to shoot.

HA ! good one ....... guess somebody has to shoot that "other" stuff (just not me)

I've heard that about the SWFA scope - I've always liked 6x's, it's just hard to break habits after shooting Leupolds for so long with never the slightest problem or complaint

For the money in a fixed turret they're a pretty good scope. I have a couple older ones. They just aren't up to speed with their new turrets from my limited experience..

Leupold M8 6x42's with M1 and CDS haven't missed a beat. SWFA is pretty sick. I don't like them on light rifles because the balance gets thrown to the ass of the rifle. I've got a 19-20" Palma / chunk idea in mind that should fix that. Perfect balance in my mind is my hand just forward of the windage turret. 24" Mag sporter, McMillan, 6x42 is right on the money. Exactly a pound heavier than my Montana 270 WSM was, but a 10X better carry.

Its all whatcha like.

I have a sako a7 called a tecomonte basically just came with a fluted barrel and bell and Carlson stock it weighs 6#13oz I've been amazed at how well this rifle shoots I'm no expert shot but I have shot some crazy groups with bergers out of it , I would prob sell all my other production rifles before I let it go.

Just because you're both from Oregon, right GK?
