Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Update -- failures & known issues SWFA SS

First the "known issues". These are not the "failures", as I see them.


Older fixed power Classics:

1. Built-in sunshades could unscrew. Easy fix, if willing. Not observed with recent examples.

2. Mushy clicks.


All fixed power Classics:

1. Glare off of exterior ocular lens. Given the price and mechanical performance, I don't think this is too out of line.

2. On some 10x scopes, distances indicated on the rear parallax ring are not always correct. Easy fix, if willing.

3. 20x too dim. Not surprising, but worth noting for those not familiar with exit pupil, lens quality, etc.


3-9x HD:

1. Turrets too stiff on some scopes.
2. Tunneling on 3x (ok on 4x).


Other:


1. Paint specks reported in two scopes. Certainly not good, but not a “fail” per se. I hadn't heard about this one before.
