SWFA Black Friday

If that falls through, I also have a voucher I won’t use

I’m sitting pretty undecided between the 3-9 and 3-15. Is the general idea that if you have the 3-15 you’ll be more tempted to use the upper magnification range more often which can negatively limit your field of view?

I don’t get why it’s a negative to have the 15x for times at the range, but only use the 3-9x range while you’re hunting. Or is everyone just repeating that the 3-9 is the best because that’s what they’ve read other people say?

I’ve read the thread multiple times and understand the diamonds are not filled in on the 3-15, questionable image quality from 12-15 (often refuted), a few more ounces, reticle is slightly thicker on the 3-9, and a higher price tag on the 3-15.

Just wondering what I’m missing if one were to get the 3-15 just for the sake of having more magnification while at the range.

I bought both the 3-9 and 3-15 and will just keep the one I like more
Despite all the love for 3-9's, I am guessing I won't care for it. I don't need to save 3 oz, but we will see

I really like the 3-15. I use 15x sometimes, useful for spotting / measuring bullet holes in paper. Dont use more than about 10x for hunting often except to play with trying to measure stuff with the reticle.

If anyone bought a 3-9 with a Kenton turret voucher they’d like to get rid of to further discount the scope - I’d buy one.

I'll be getting rid of mine for cheap

I couldn’t decide between the two until I saw that my Maven went up to $1400 and no Black Friday sale so I bought both.
First impressions:
I definitely like the maven reticle the best.
I see why they call the SWFA a 3-12. That’s how id use it anyway.
Both 3-15s I’ll keep on 4x for the reticle, the 3-9 is good at 3x.
The SWFA turrets are plenty stiff, but not too stiff. I don’t think I’d worry about them moving around on me.
The maven turrets aren’t bad, but definitely keeping an eye on them.
The SWFA 3-15 throw lever sucks. Going to take it off and use ranger bands.
I’ll be keeping all of them!

I have a one time use 25% off Maven coupon via postcard that is good thru end of year. If you'll actually use it I'll give it to you.

I just tested it and it is not working at the moment, might be because of the existing BF deals. Let me email them and I'll get back to you.
