SWFA - best time to buy or sales to wait for?

[PredatorSlayer]

So I think I am going to buy my first SWFA scope. It is for a truck gun and I want MOA. I am not in a hurry, I am also not set on the 10x with side focus, but I am set on MOA. They have a sale on the fixed 10x that puts it at $349. Is that the best it is going to get?

When do they run their best sales?

Nobody can tell you anything about swfa right now. They are in the middle of a big change. Everything might sell out and never be available again or new scopes might come out next month and there could be a huge discount on old stock.

I would recommend the 6x. I've hunted the timber and have shot it out to 1,000 yds regularly.

I got the 10x for 299 at Black Friday sale.

No way I'd use a 10x for truck gun. Need more flexibility of FOV for fast target acquisition.
Coming from someone that owns a 10x

Fair - obviously no 6x in stock. 10x seemed to be the next best option.

With side focus or rear focus?

Mine has rear focus.

Whats the difference between the huron 3-9 and the credo 3-9?

That's

That's for someone else to answer. I buy accupoint 56mm tr22

Eye relief for one. The Credo has appreciably better eye relief and a more forgiving eye box. I wouldn't own a Huron or Ascent for anything. I own 2 Credos.

Accupoint lists short eye relief and it's really not. I doubt Huron is actually that short. We use three 300wsm and a 6.5 creed w Accupoints and no eye relief issues

I handled a Huron in a gun store. The eye relief is that short. The eye box is fussier than the Credo as well.

Update: I appreciate everybody’s input. I ended up buying a trijicon accupoint 5-20x50 used for a decent price (still outside my original budget). This will be my first accupoint, but I have several credos and tenmiles and I am sure I will like it. Ideally it would have been a 42 or 44mm objective, but this will be fine for now.

 

[redchinviking]

So why an accupoint over another credo or tenmile?

Just got a good deal on it. No other reason. I prefer exposed elevation turrets and dialing for longer shots. So the huron and credo 3-9s weren’t great options for me.

That self adjusting illumination in Accupoints is the shit. My Leicas are nicer glass, but I don't like adjusting brightness of illumination
