SWFA 6x failure

Ilya koshkin says otherwise.

I’ll take his word over yours.

Again. Hilarious. This has been two years at this point. How long does it take to make some scopes? Not 2 years for sure. Actions speak louder than rumors.

They should move production to China. No issues popping stuff out of factories there.

I wonder if their scope inventory has gone to Ukraine - there’s always a backstory to shortages.

Same thing I heard about Meopta shipped all there scopes to Ukraine.

Ukraine will definitely win the war if they have SWFA 6x42s on their rifles. Zero question.

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

Buy a new scope now and send that one in. Maybe you’ll see it again…someday…

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.
