Would you buy this scope?

Do you have additional information or is this wishful thinking?

In what way(s) will this new scope be better than an SWFA 3-9, 3-15, or Maven? Not intended to come across as snarky, just an honest question about how will this be measurably better. (I just want a good reticle at a reasonable price).

Considering the the windage caps on the new SWFAs keep brass from ejecting in my tikkas and the old ones don’t have zero stops it’s not real hard to beat them with a scope that holds zero.

I never had the issue with brass not ejecting or being interfered with on the couple T3Xs I’ve had using the 3-9 or 6X SWFA. If you did I agree that would be a big deal. It’s a non issue on my Barrett Fieldcraft with a 6X. I’m not a big fan of the 3-9 simply due to the eyepiece. Still have a couple 6Xs. I am absolutely looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

It’s the windage cap on the newest generation that’s keeping brass from ejecting.

Take the cap off or put the old style turret on.

I did. I don’t mind it, he was just asking how the new scope could be better than the SWFA and I was pointing out that a capped windage that didn’t cause that on a tikka would definitely be one way it could be better.

Oh- got you now.

Not that it’s something you would want to do I had this issue with a 3-15. Instead of moving the scope again I found some rubber chair caps that fit pretty snug with the turret off a bit of electrical tape it’s never tried coming off and I since I don’t dial wind age I have 0 issues with my homemade cap

Same here. I never had brass hit my windage turret on the 3-9 but capping it slimmed my setup by at least 1/4”.
