How far are you expecting to shoot? For thee average Joe a 3X9 SWFA is had to beat.
I'm in this camp ^
I have the SWFA but I prefer the Trijicon Credo 3-9. I like locking or capped turrets on a hunting rifle. Trijicon Mil-Square is comparable to the SWFA Mil-quad but it's illuminated and second focal plane. They are similar price points and in my opinion the SWFA and Trijicon Credo are the best at that price point.
