I ordered a 6x42MQ with the Low rings and level

I would like to see some pics of your rifle with an Swfa scope on it.

A brief reason why you got the scope you got and comments on what you like about it and what you dont like about it.

AND does ANYONE actually use the level and what do you think of it?

SS HD 1-6 because I wanted a magnified optic for this AR and the reticle in this one works for me. Nothing I don't like about it.

Had a couple of the 5-20's. I preferred the G2 reticle of the Bushnell for the guns they were on so I sold them.

Crappy pic, but was already in PB. 6x on a 22 with a 25MOA base. Sole reason for it was the ability to dial large which it does exceptionally well:

Montucky .280Ackley with SS 3-9MQ

No Level

Bought it to have a scope with matching reticle and turrets. Repeatable tracking and return to actual zero don't suck either.

Have since replaced all Leupolds on hunting rifles with the 3-9MQ.

12X on the heavy 30-06.

Lots of travel, excellent LR reticle. Rear parallax is great for southpaw. Also I like that on a LH rifle, the scope is slick above the loading/ejection port.

Montana Marine-someone pulled a very cruel trick on you. The bolt's on the wrong side of the gun!

I probably don't demand as much of my scopes as many here but there's just isn't another $300 package out there that offered what the SS line does. The first one purchased was to do some longer range .22 shooting and I haven't bought anything different since...

Yes.... grin.


They're both solid. The 6x covers the hunting rifles very well and I would be hard pressed to buy anything else over it.

On my heavy 308 right handed I rotated the scope 90 degrees so that I had that same effect for clearance.
