I am not a turret twister or a long range hunter. I have owned VX-1 and VX-2 variable scopes and been happy with them. These are on bolt action rifles - 223 and 270 (unfashionable I know). I am not a high volume shooter, though, as much as I’d like to be. I am willing to spend money to have durable and functional equipment, and have been considering upgrading to SWFA scopes, either fixed 6x or variable 3-9x scopes, on the recommendation of the internet hunting forum crowd.
Are these scopes overkill for someone like me? In addition to the cost, the SWFA scopes add weight and bulk, including turrets that I don’t plan on using since I don’t plan on getting into the long range game. I know SWFA makes ultralight scopes, but they don’t get recommended as often as the two models I’ve already mentioned so I haven’t considered them very much.
To sum it all up, I’m willing to take the plunge and upgrade my scopes to heavier, tougher models if I need to. But is the upgrade worth it for someone like me?
