Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Some SWFA Testing....

Jordan's rifle has the 3-9, which is significantly less bulky than the fixed powers, and has more positive adjustments than the non-HD fixed powers as well. All around better scope, IMO.

A 6x42 Leupy with dots and M1 would be hard to beat on a hunting rig. The SWFA 3x9's are huntable but they are not my fav for that purpose.

Yet, look at where the picture was taken. It apparently isn't too bulky to carry there.

A guy can pack a phugging engine block up a mountain if he's so inclined. Doesn't mean it's something I wanna do. Note that the rifle pictured is a WSM Montana, which is already ergonomically not my cup of tea with it's weird perch belly. If it works for him, good. The last guy I saw shoot a WSM Montana with a mediocre eye relief scope during a hunt bled profusely from the face after doing so.

I've had both the MQ and Mil-Dot in the 3-9x... and believe the Mil-Dot is the more usefull 'hunting' reticle. The FFP combined with the MQ made for an aweful difficult to see reticle when the magnification was turned down. They were both on 9x 99% of the time. I'm not a fan of the 3-15 for the same reasons mentioned by Jason.

The 10x is probably perfect all around glass, but I prefer the 12x for my needs.... as I've not had a situation arrise where I can't find stuff in the glass. I've tried to go 6x more than once.... but coyotes look damn small at 450 on 6x. For BG, they work fine to 300-400 or so. Which I suppose, works 95% of the time...

Threw out my back with this one, but it's pretty chicken lickin....

Threw out your back doing what, exactly? Hauling the rifle from your gun cradle to the range and back?


Mountain rifle barrels with TI stocks balance too far back with 10 ounce scopes, let alone double that weight.

Your efforts are chicken lickin.....

How does the SWFA 6x42 compare to the Leupold 6x36 ?
Is better in Low light conditions ?
Same for a comparison with the Leupold 6x42 in low light conditions ?

Good comeback.

It's ok if you don't get out much, at least you have ARAIG to run off to and talk in d-bag slang to your buds.

That's not douche bag slang, its a secret family recipe.....

Balance is chicken lickin.....

UBER Addendum:

KCUNTFEST 2014 continues!!!!




Too gawdamnned phuqqing funny!

Wow................

I see I'm not the only one who has had it up to here with midgets! Haha

Tough to beat the inherent humor of a Kalifornia Kcuntfest...unless you go FULL Retard and rock a Texas Twatorium.

You "hard chargers" are a phuqqing hoot!

Laffin'!

You're the only hard charger around here. What with your 40,000 posts and everything. Whatever happened with that John Burns challenge thing? You sure charged out of that.

I almost PM'd the moderator to complain.


You're lucky or your entire collection of 'handles' would be eliminated.



Yo 16bore, I'm onto your chit.

Funny, that's exactly what this scope replaced. I'm not looking back.

At 7.5 lbs all up, it's the lightest engine block IN THE WORLD. I'm actually not really sure how it got up on that mountain. It's certainly too heavy for a guy to carry up there without motorized assist. Mysterious.

The top engine block is 6lb 12oz, the bottom is 7lb 8oz. My wife's dog is 8lb. When I eat my Wheaties, I can carry all three.
