If you measure rifle scopes by optical quality and light weight, there isn't much to get excited about - SWFA SS's are heavy and there glass/coatings are middle of the pack for the price point.

If you measure optics by durability, retained zero, returning to zero, accurate reticles turrets that track reliably over and over again, and range of tracking, then SWFA SS's are about the best bargain available.
