(W)hen we say that the 3-15x42 is made in the HD plant, everyone assumes it has HD glass. That's an extremely foolish assumption, as far as I'm concerned. Assembly plants can mix and match parts and meet various specs at will, or else they're not very useful as contract manufacturers/assemblers. I'll buy your argument. Let's say "some", as the HD thing seems to get brought up often Must not having anything else better to do, huh? Still waiting on you to provide the details from SWFA, not your assumptions on mixed parts. Or are we just going to continue to go back and forth with this endless debate and no relevant info from you? Prove me wrong. Spill the beans MZ5

One actual owner/user being told they don't know anything, by some folks that actually don't know anything. Classic. Next thing you know, everyone's Swaro binos will be fogged up too. I'm actually going to try a SS 10x mil/mil.. Crazy, huh?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Don't do it!
You will end up like me, replacing everything you own with these horrible "Tasco" scopes.

Like Mule Deer said..... If Eremicus would shoot a wider variety of scopes a lot, he might actually have something to report on."... Even with the little smiley face at the end, that statement is about as full of BS as Eremicus's focus-posts.

OH, I didn't know that is what you had. In that case of course you wont be replacing scopes, but I bet your new scopes will all wear a SS badge.

My Tikka's both (soon to be 3) love these scopes.
Well maybe they don't, but I do.

I've used SS scopes for a few years now... I way prefer the 3-9s to any of the fixed powers.

Tanner I prefer the 3-9 to the fixed powers as well, though I haven't been around a 10x HD. I don't give a flying rat's ass where they are made.

Tanner Tanner, I thought you was using the DNZ on the Finnish Tikkler, or is that a different SL? BTW, how's the 7RM T3 working for you? Jason EDIT - after looking at that pic it looks like the scope would hit the back of the DNZ. My buddy has his standard T3 Lite 7RM sorted out with his scope, we hope. Long story with a VX-II. I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots with handloads and new optic. J

I bet you will like it. I really like the 3-9, and am saving up for a 3-15. The mil-quad reticle kicks ass.

Still waiting on you to provide the details from SWFA, Prove me wrong. Spill the beans MZ5 Re-read post #8414868 (one of mine) in this thread. I told you then and I'll say again: I can only tell you what Kenko put on my scope. As a hint: I'm confident Kenko put it there because it's their QC marker, with their name and location.

Earlier question...
Is the SS 10HD $400.00 better than the 10? It was for me. It tracked better than me using it for dot drills. The classic series are great for durability but I have only bought the 3-9, 10HD and the 5-20.
I sold the 10 HD to fund an SS 5-20x50 (Illuminated). Optics Talk has so many responses on the SS line that I recommend scouting around over there.
I am a fan of the SS higher line for sure. Never had any issue but if one did, SWFA would take care of it, I am certain.
Cameraland, SWFA and occasionally Euro Optic are the only people I buy from other than gun nuts from here, OT, LRH and the Hide.

Still opening Mail. Just poked it on a NEF 22LR that shoots fair to middlin'. Only 36.5 Mils total ele travel,which is slighter than the 6x's latitude...though 10 Mils in the glass pads things a bit. Should be able to get out to 75 or 80yds. Thinkin' I'll throw another 6x that's s'posed to be here somewhere,aboard a Beeg Krunchenticker and see WTF. Finally gots me one of them fixed Roopold 6x's,to see WTF the fuss is all about and just slammed it aboard a rifle that was in the mail too. 8x57 J on a Kar98,but wished I coulda afforded the "S". Hopin' it'll stay sub 3.5MOA at 100. Laffin'! Still cain't find my bulk order of UV Yarn,for Chrome Dredging Pursuits...and might just haveta quiz the Cook in the AM,to get a location on same. UglyStik,Danielson mono and a Tokushima Coffee Grinder(nothing but the best),to be unleashed in the pre-dawn morn'. F&S says R&D is fun and they certainly don't miss much.

A leetle more R&D in the books...Castin' & Blastin' today. A 50yd zero,granted 23.1 Mils remaining erector travel,ala 25MOA extended DIP 1913. Sister had the hot hand and sluiced a coffee cup at the 550yd line,while chasing some wind. 20Mils on the erector,the balance on the reticle. After running up and down the total erector travel scale,dozens of times(burned only .2MIL windage,from mechanical center,to establish zero)...it printed back to where it started. Initial impressions are more than positive,though I'm craving a 50MOA extended 1913 rail,so as to eek more goody. This NEF seems to shoot.
