Wait a minute...so a SWFA does fail......wow, maybe we better do another RS drop test to be sure it was done right the first time and maybe Leupolds aint that bad afterall.
That would be a sample size of two in varying conditions. That would certainly meet the ASTM testing standards and solidify the drop test once and for all. You did not actually say Leupold in the same sentence and SWFA did you??!!

SWFA had supply issues for years, way before the Ukraine.

Honestly with more competition being introduced into the market. Is SWFA worth dealing with anymore

I don't know many if any scopes that last after getting dropped on concrete. The fact that it didn't instantly break surprised me. I will continue to buy SWFA..... If I can find them.

A few weeks back I sent a 5x20 hd for repair and they sent me a new one in less than 2 weeks.

I would not think so either. I am not suggesting anything is wrong with SWFA at all.

Sorry, was just adding to your comment replying to retest suggestion. I don't think my example constitutes an issue with the rokslide scope testing. I just need to not keep scopes on the edge of my shop desk lol.
