I had planned to use a Swaro on a light weight custom 270 WSM I just picked up. Not a hard kicker by any stretch, but I've had way too many disappointing scopes, mostly in the tracking department. After a lot of research I put a Nightforce 2.5-10 on it. The glass is nothing like my S&B, but it is good enough for 700 yard ground hogs, and that's good enough. Where it is like the Schmidt is in flawless tracking. I do a bunch of field target and varmint shooting with my big game rifles, then go out and shoot a few big animals each year. A scope that won't track, and hold together, is not an adequate tool for the job. I don't care much about brand loyalty any more, I care about what works.
