Looking for a dedicated high magnification target scope. Won't be used for hunting or in bad light. What is the consensus about a SWFA 20x42? How about other suggestions in the $500 range or so? Don't care for reticles with circles. Prefer moa over mil. Will consider any brand. Thanks gentlemen.

I had the 20x MOA, but sold it and just use 10x MQ scopes for similar purposes.

How far are you shooting, and how big are the targets?

I use, and like several 16's on higher end 22's. Have not used a 20 though

Will be used primarily at 100 and 200 yds for load development and general chasing of extreme accuracy. The swfa seems like a lot of scope for the price.

I like mine. Not as "dark" as some reviews say.
