Is it a SWFA or Tasco version?

Carry on...



Yep it is more common than is reported.... about 5% of SWFA fixed powers have an issue inside of 10,000 rounds. Versus nearly 100% of Leupolds and Vortex’s.


So what is it that drives you to say and do the above? Is it that you doubt the people who see dozens to hundreds of scopes a year get shot, tested, and used are being honest? Is it that you doubt that those people see that amount of use?
There is no one that has said SWFA SS scopes have a 0% failure rate. Every item has a failure rate. Some items have low enough rates as to be almost surprising. Some have enough failures that it is expected quickly.


It isn’t about shooting a deer at 60 yards. Hell a $100 POS muzzle loader from Walmart and a BSA scope will do that. So all bs aside, how many SWFA SS and Nightforce scopes have you used, and how much use on those scopes?



As posted, it's more common than reported, some folks don't wanna talk about it, as said, due to "the elite " questioning, wanting pics etc, due to the drama surrounded by "failures" .... This is the www, folks lie, folks black their faces out on pics, and some experts ain't who they really think are.... Maybe some folks are a plug for a optics company with a motive... Who knows??? It does appear everyone's "failure" rate is quite different from each others, and folks are emotionally attached to optics....

Again, carry on....
