It’ll be interesting to see if the caps stop the sometimes .1-.3 mil shift from the turrets getting bent.
I was counting sheep last night and thinking through if I wanted to test with turrets first or the cover cap things first. If they both work, might even pull them off and the taped on vinyl cap to be a smartass to the naysayers.

I put mine on my t1x 22lr.
I just bought one for a CZ 457 MTR. I really wish it had a mil reticle, it'd be so much more useful as trainer. Didn't want the fixed 10x because I'll also use this for squirrel and guess hunting and new shooters.

Hopefully they have ALL the 6x42s ready to drop and I can replace the UL.

I’ve never been that interested in the 3-15 swfa, I have a 2-10 ultralight and the glass quality leaves enough to be desired on the top end that I don’t really want more magnification. In my experience below 10x glass quality matters a lot less than above. Also as mentioned the cost is too close to buying another RS 1.2 or a demo SHV.

The fixed 6x scope is intriguing because it doesn’t have an equivalent on the market and the cost half as much as a 3-15. I’ll order a 6x as soon as they are available. I think I’m currently approaching 20 months on a 3-9hd back order.
I enjoy the 6x more than I thought I would. I hunted with it this year and felt it was plenty for reasonable shooting distances. I do appreciate something less when I have animals pop up under 100 yards, but didn’t hinder me terribly this season.

Do you think they are sporadically going to have available other swfa models after this super launch?.......

If they made the UL with a mil reticle, and especially if they made it in a fixed power, it would be THE sheep/mountain goat scope.
I think the glass would also need to be better. I had one on the gun I take out for that purpose and I didn't like it at 100y let alone a lot more. I'm still looking for that elusive lightweight durable scope that you're not also sacrificing image to a crazy extent and with a good hunting reticle.

Imagine how durable the SWFA scopes would be without that giant windage turret on the side.
It has to be the first thing that hits the ground on a right side drop.
Not to mention the added leverage of that sucker sticking out a couple inches.
