SWFA prairie dog scope?

[Clatta]

I have an old 6ppc Benchrest rifle I’m going to use for prairie dogs this summer. Was wondering if anyone used the 16x or 20x SWFA scope?

I've never used those two, but have used a 12x for 7 years or so. The glass is atrocious on the higher magnification models, but would probably work fine for prairie dogs. Mechanically, they're sound and work just fine.

Not the 16x or 20x, but I used the 12x on my groundhog rifle for several years.

I wouldnt want over 12x in those scopes and prefer the 10x

I have a 16x that I use for the range, took it prairie dog hunting this last season. We shot a couple hundred dogs out to 400 yds or so with 69 and 75 gr 223. It was good but the magnification felt too high for locating animals. I’ll use a 12 or 10x on the next trip - 16 is just a little much.
