Wise. They’ll be gone in a flash.

I’m looking at putting a SWFA on a .223 Tikka trainer. .223 is not legal for big game in my state so it will most likely be used for general shooting practice. If it was for hunting I would definitely go for the 6x, but for a trainer gun, would I be better served with the 10x?

Does anyone have both and prefer the 10x for practice?

Wise. They’ll be gone in a flash.

I thought that about the 3-9 hd's, too. Which in my opinion is a lot more scope for 250 extra dollars.

Looks like 27 left. Thats what I could add to cart

 

[COLD SMOKE]

Just Got one

whoever linked the SWFA site,

thanks for the heads up.

Going on a ruger gen 2 my budget backpacking gun.

Having a scope that has been field evaluated / won’t lose zero is priority and the simplicity of using a fixed scope seems like it will work well for my applications.

Thanks for the heads up, Got one ordered. This swfa will go on my 223, then I can move that Maven to another rifle.

Stoked. Just ordered.

Edit: my only complaint about the Gen1’s was the lack of zero stop and uncapped windage. Finally we got that solved.

Shims for zero stop and tapped windage turret addressed that in gen 1 reasonably. But glad to see these gen 2 in 6x now and I also ordered cause I wanted/needed another.

Key word being reasonably. I had like six of them at one point, and they were great. Excited for gen2 though.

 

[Ajsomp]

Ugh. Fine I’ll order one.. or three

I go back and forth on which scope I like better - the 3-9 or 6x. The HD glass is nice but parallax adjustment is also nice.

There are times I “think” I need 4x for closer shots, because let’s be honest the 3x on the 3-9 ain’t great, but I keep the scope on 6x most of the time anyway. The 6x is the easiest scope to shoot IMO and zero stop included from factory is nice.

Shout out though to @pods8 (Rugged Stitching) for making the shim kits for legacy models.

Man, what a day. My OG cleared today, now this. Time for a powerball ticket

 

[satchamo]

Welp I’m $350 poorer

 

[atmat]

I’m very appreciative of those who gave the heads up as to availability. I have two on their way to me now. Looking forward to getting them on my RSS’s. As a stopgap, I had a 10x gen1 on the 6.5 CM, but this should work out a lot better.

Out of stock. Missed out again.

Me too. Crap. If anybody ordered an extra one then please contact me.

 

[Scottyboy]

Wow they went fast, happy I grabbed one. Besides this forum, why does the 6x sell out before everything else? It’s a proven scope at an absurdly cheap price, but beyond that? Curious is all.
