Recently acquired another 6x SWFA. I immediately noticed the turrets on this one are MUCH better than the one I already have. It’s almost night and day and much closer to the positivity of maven or NF.

I’ve heard running the Swfa caps a bunch helps, and/or removing some of the grease. Mainly just looking for anyone who experienced with Swfa and cleaning these up. Or did I win the lottery and just accept my other turrets aren’t as good.

For reference - I have another 6x and a 3-9 and have owned the 3-15 and 3-9s in the past as well. So it’s not the first go around with the scopes.

Curious as well I got a 3-15 directly from SWFA 1st gen and noticed the turrets were not very positive, sort of mushy. Then I got another 3-15 used 1st gen and clicks were very positive. Then a used 6x same thing very positive.

its certainly not a big deal, but the other turrets feel great and if someone has a solution or a tip id like to know to make my 3-15 like the others.

you're not alone, hopefully someone has some insight or a pro tip.

Yeah not a huge deal, and it hasn’t been a problem using the scopes to date as is or it’s primary purpose of shooting animals and maintaining zero. I suppose if I never got one with better turrets in hand I would likely never look to “fix” it.

Same here, if I never would have acquired the other 2 I wouldn’t even look into it scope functions like it should as is.
