We compare $300 SWFAs to Nightforce scopes all the time, and they compare favorably in the tracking and zero holding departments.

If you think they'll hold up, do drop tests or shut up.



You sound like you have a vested interest in SWFA. I know you don't believe in Tract so why not let it go already? Its seems your just here to flame every post I make and we can do nothing right. I just started last week it takes time to get up to speed. I don't even have product myself to test. So you want to compare a fixed power SWFA to a variable Tract? Why don't you send me a SWFA to test? How do I know your test tins't bias?


I bring up SWFA, because they work. I've paid for all of my SWFAs.

Also, I would possibly purchase a Tract if they had a scope I wanted, which would stay sighted in. The subject was broached to Trevor about making something along the lines of an SWFA 3-9, with a low profile, covered windage turret, zero stop, and ~3.75" of eye relief.

You're the tester, yet you don't seem willing to perform the tests that guys want to see. Knowing that a scope might actually stay in line during everyday bangs and bumps is an important test, and if you feel that other tester's methods are off, then make a test you'd find to be valid. Otherwise, without further testing (since we've already seen the scopes to be knocked out of line - more testing could sway the results the other direction) there's just a big unanswered question looming over Tract, which many of us aren't going to pay to find out the answer to with our own money.
