SWFA turrets

[Ajsomp]

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.

I've got close to 10 SWFAs in the arsenal and they run the entire gamut from mushiest turrets on planet Earth to most satisfying clicks I've ever felt lol. No rhyme or reason, or idea what's different. They all track like they've got eyes

Interesting to hear. I’ve only used a handful of SS fixed 6Xs and one 3-9X. Compared to the crisp feel of all three 6X turrets, the 3-9X was very mushy. Not all of them feel that way?

My two 10X are the worst. Two 3-9 are 'ok'. Older 6x the best in terms of crisp adjustment feel. All track perfectly though
