SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

[Tman24]

Well, that was quick. Must've been a small shipment. Pretty soon there'll only be the 20x42 available... for whomever it is that actually wants a fixed 20.

Bench rest shooters. Rokslide isn’t the only group buying scopes.

It doesn’t anymore. It now says “sold out”.

It's because they haven't dropped below the threshold to trigger that message. It's a pretty common web store feature to display unit count when X amount or less are available.

Try putting it your cart. When I put it in the cart last night it said 5 left.

I ordered the new 10x Friday just to see one in person and see if it works for me. It shipped first thing Monday so that’s good.

I had one of the early ones on a 50MG for a decent amount of rounds with no issues other than mediocre glass.

I have a few SWFA products and like them very much. Got a new 12x yesterday and now I like them even more. Although I felt for the money they were extremely hard to beat I always wish they had capped turrets. I like the new one so much I may even consider trading a new in box never mounted 3-9 for a new 3-15 if the opportunity may ever come about just because I like the capped turrets so much. Even though it is entertaining to read all the commentary on the subject of SWFA I do not get twisted up about it. I just know they make something that I appreciate and am willing to consume when available. I have lots of other optics that I would consider mid to upper mid tier but for some reason since I found out about the 10x ss on YouTube so many years ago no other scope has held my fascination like they have.

Great to hear. Any chance you’re able to advise of the turret height from the outside of the tube to the top of the new low profile turret? And compare that to the height of the old turrets from the tube?

For equal comparison, it would be ideal if they were at the same number of clicks.

I’m real curious to see how close they fall.

Cap on and cap off.

How’d you get yours so fast?

 

[MCT453]

Ordered the minute they were available but shipping was fast.

Does the glass appear different at all?

Does the glass appear different at all?

Haven't had it outside yet but I really think on initial inspection indoors it doesn't appear different than the others I have.
However I am not a glass snob but have tried to stick to Japanese glass , Sightron , old Bushnell elite and swfa.
I do have A few Meopta and Athlon scopes too and to be honest I do not have a scope for my purposes that I think has "bad" glass.
I have several AR's and bolt guns but these days I mostly shoot rimfire , shotguns (sporting clays) and PCP's.
I am sure someone will come along later that can critique glass quality of the gen 2 much better than I can

Same! I can be one of the pickiest people on the planet when it comes to optics but never cared one bit when it comes to rifle scopes. As long as it’s not like looking through the bottom of a Coke bottle and I can see what I’m aiming at I’m good

 

[Castle Rock]

The glass quality in my old 10x is very good

LOVE the pic....the gen 2 has the hd turrets that people were all about. Possibly may get one. SWFA said the exact same companies making gen 2s reg/hd. So same quality!

 

[sndmn11]

1/4" of turrets is going to upset the same folks who throw on "tactical" bolt knobs, pic rails, arca rails, etc

I agree, that’s about all I want as well. I had always put glass clarity at the bottom of my list but a couple seasons ago with a cheaper scope I couldn’t find a buck in a clear cut very well then got back on my nightforce and it was clear as day. That changed my mind a little.
