My two 3-9s are being delivered todayI grabbed one of the new production 3-9 in the sale, the turrets feel a little better but more what I noticed is the engraving on the turrets is larger/bolder. Aging eyes appreciate the consideration, well done swfa.

This makes me very happy.I grabbed one of the new production 3-9 in the sale, the turrets feel a little better but more what I noticed is the engraving on the turrets is larger/bolder. Aging eyes appreciate the consideration, well done swfa.
There is a more defined zero vertical line that goes to all the way to a tick mark on the housing above "UP" (IE easer to line up your zero). Bigger / bolder markings for whole numbers and bolder markings for .5 intervals.
Not good.
We are at least 24 months from a gen 2 variable and that's if they happen at all
All it would add is a zero stop which can be solved with inexpensive shims.
The capable option would be nice for windage.
Very good since you just bought the old irrelevant ones
Yea thats true.
Check earlier in this thread about caps if you haven't already.
Screwing a cap on is not comparable to taking a hacksaw to the turret stem and sliding a rubber cup over it. The latter works, but is very much a kludge.
I really don't find the turret to protrude all that much (vs comparable scopes) and find a wrap of electrical tape to be perfectly effective for my uses where I hold wind. Sure my LRTS with pull out windage knobs is nicer but I really am not bothered by the windage on the 3-9 all that much.
I'm not saying the kludge doesn't work, only that it is not comparable to a true cap like the Gen II's have. I don't even tape mine, so can argue that even tape is not needed.
I think the current SS series Gen 2 caps are stupid personally as they stick way out, I think the slimmer knob for the windage is nicer on those (again tape if concerned). If they did that style cap the didn't protrude way out they sure that would be a nice to have. The 3-9HD brass post doesn't stick out nearly as far as the SS series so it certainly seems like they could make it like that but who knows if they will. Two different manufacturers between the lines.
