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...

3-9x42mm's













6x42mm's

Do you like the 3-9 or the 6 better

Form,

Which chambering for the Tikka?

6x42 MQ classic




Losing interest in variables.

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.








.223.

10x MQ on Creedance and a skanky yote.

Sorry. No deceased four legged critters to show off with it. Trust me I've tried! 6x42 MD/MOA Rear focus on a DPMS/M&P Combo [img:left][/img]

5-20 in Seekins hardware

16x42 sorry for the cell phone pic

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

Circa 2004...

An Old School 10x Mil-Dot on a BDL-V 6mm Rem... and my main man Doug, miss you brother....

That scope has been on a few. Next up is a 6X on a M70.

5-20 HD Seekins rings

6x Mildot version on a Ruger M77 Target 22LR. Dialed and popped a crow at 123yds from my back door yesterday. Very fun combo!

3-15x42 on a self-built 223wylde AR

Fast twisted 7mm Remington with Seekins lows and a 6x SS milquad.

That is sweet looking.

6.5-06 wearing Nightforce one piece mount with 20 moa on it. Scope is a 3-9 milquad at present, but Black Friday 6x is going to replace it. The Nightforce mount seems to work quite well with long action 700s and SS scopes. I bedded it to the action and it seems very strong. A mount option you don't see much and offers a lot for the weight.

Where is the best place to purchase these scopes.
Thanks.

Whats up with the tape on the end of the Scopes ?

Butler Creeks tend to fall off of these. I'll be taping mine on next. Might go black tape though:)

Ruger VT .25-06AI
SWFA SS 3-9x42

Is that a steel mount or aluminum ?

Aluminum and low version is pictured.

Sons Ruger Amer. 6.5 Creed with 6 X SS Mil Quad Christmas present when he comes home from AK Air Guard training this month.

Can you buy Ruger Picatinny mounts from Ruger or where for a Ruger American so you do not have to modify the Weaver style groove? If so please post link. Found some

Wow! Nice rifle.

Arrived yesterday and promptly mounted



The low rings have plenty of clearance on a 20moa seekins rail on the 700. The SSALT mount seems fairly robust on the AR.

My 6x arrived today..It went on my 260ai..

6 X on 6.5 X 284


New Ruger AR 1X4 with SALT mount

Good looking lefty bolt gun there KK.

AR50 with SS 20x. Replaced a NF NXS 5.5-22 when $$ got tight. The SS does the job, but I do miss the NF.

Never seen one..............

How far do you guys shoot with a 6x

The whole way.....


Actually, I'm limited to 505. Chip shot for some I'm sure, but keeping the target in the glass is good juju.

The center of the center is still the center.

I.E. follow through

I don't have a place to shoot long range, but I assure you more precise work can be done with 6x than some, or even most, believe.

For example I used a Leupold 6x42AO on a Rem 700 5R Milspec at 300 yards to place ten shots whose centers all fit within a 2.25" circle. The mean radius is .79 inches.

So 500 is not to far

I was shooting steel at 940 yards with a couple yesterday.

Never seen one..............

Not for some, but no problem with 6X. Leupolds though, and yes, this was before I learned how to add more powder to the case.

Waiting on a 6x SWFA SS for my Ruger Predator in .260 remington.

Just for looks....

That is a good looking rifle on a FRIGHTENINGLY clean loading bench!

Ring and base combo?

Haven't loaded a round of ammo in months....

The rings are Warnes, bases some cheap ass Weavers. If I were really going to mount that scope it'd be Dual Dovetails or LW's.
