I think SWFA has found a pretty decent market niche with this scope.
What was the market niche that couldn’t equally be filled if the scope had another inch of eye relief and ounce of weight? I don’t buy that the ultralight AR builders would flock to this scope over one with more eye relief. Besides, if that was the intended market, why didn’t SWFA market it as such? Could’ve called it the “Ultralight AR Special”.
If the scope had decent eye relief and they put a good BDC reticle in it or made it mil/mil, I’d certainly buy one to try....and if it proved to be reliable I’d buy at least another three more without hesitation. As it is, I have zero interest. Hopefully they’ll come out with something different to meet the needs of the “precision hunter” and “everyday hunter” niches, which are an awfully large contingent of folks, and I suspect they could find some market share with such a scope.
