SWFA 1-6x HD Gen II?

[ElPollo]

I reached out to SWFA asking about this scope yesterday. They responded last night saying they were currently working on a replacement for it. The 1-6x HD was a really good LPVO that held zero, but the reticle wasn’t a favorite of mine. Too much illumination for my tastes. Would love to see them use the MQ reticle from the fixed 6x with just an illuminated dot like the Accupoints. I’m sure that is unlikely because the trend is generally toward overly complex, overly illuminated reticles these days.

Geez, with a HD 1-6 Gen 2, HD 5-2X Gen 2, and S2H scope on the horizon...

Good time to be a gun slut.

I do like mine a lot, actually love the center dot it’s my favorite. Don’t care for the illumination either. I think if they didn’t light up the circle that would help. But at the end of the day, 36mm ish objective size would make it a better hunting scope. Fov is just too small.

I like mine a lot. Nice to see another one being introduced sometime this century.

Just a knob on the left side of the scope bugs me That said I really regretted selling mine. Was pretty stoked to find another to replace it. For what it is I dig the reticle that was in it.
