Swfa milquad ultralight?

[coues32]

Any info on when they will be available with the new reticles?

They need some milquad eye relief.

I asked them beginning of January and they said they had no ETA. I think the owner posted on opticstalk middle of last September that it was coming soon.

Doesn’t really sound “soon” to me. Frustrating also that their first reticle other than the plex would be a BDC that only works with a couple cartridges. Doesn’t make sense imo.

The only good thing about the Bdc is the first two hashes line up pretty well for the vast majority of cartridges with a 200 yard zero.

swfa was non committal when I spoke to them last month about the mil quad version.

was hoping for a 223 fieldcraft and ultralight mil quad.. both are the way of the dodo bird apparently.

They need some milquad eye relief.

Instead of focusing on reticles they need to focus on eye relief. I know what they have will work, but it’s much much less than ideal.

I’d be happy knocking an inch or so off the damn SS windage turret.

Thanks for the replies, haven't seen any talk in a while.
I haven't messed with one yet as for eye relief.
Sure would be nice if they would make the 3x15 in the hd line...

I swapped emails with someone over there twice and got a somewhat nebulous response (pasted below). I was forced by Rokslide (I think it was @luke moffat 's fault) to buy one of the UL models and love it for the money ($250 on sale). Tried to relay the fact that folks would buy more but they didn't take the bait.

Would like to pick up another, but would love seeing some more options. I still might grab another for my guns that don't shoot far.

We have no word on new product at this time.

Thank you
Andy

Any idea when they’ll have some new options out? Love that lightweight scope.

I wish they'd offer the reticle that's in the ultralight in their other scopes. I agree, sales would definitely increase, if they did.

The BDC lines are at 2.1, 5.0, and 8.5 moa which, yeah you can convert to a rough yardage for your load, but still I just can’t understand why they wouldn’t use a more universal reticle on a scope that doesn’t dial.

Sounds like more people need to email them until they get the hint.
