Hello, I'm considering one of the SWFA 16x42 SS 30mm Riflescopes. I have never used a SWFA scope and was wondering if I could get some feedback relating to overall quality, ruggedness, adjustments, zero hold, tracking, etc, etc from anyone who might have used this scope.. Having never used one, I'd like to get some feedback before pulling the trigger.. Any positive or negative comments are appreciated.. Seems like a lot of scope for the money, but I'd like to hear from users.. Thanks in advance..

They're good scopes (I have two 6x and one 10x). There's lots of information available here if you search. The fixed 12x, 16x, and 20x are too magnified to be useful in my opinion; I wouldn't bother with them. The 6x, 10x, and 3-9x, and 3-15x seem to be the most popular.

The fixed 16x is great for only shooting long range or as a load development scope. Not much else. I have one that gets used strictly for shooting 100 yard groups choosing a suitable load for guns that wear scopes with less mag
