Ha! looks pretty brutal, huh? Here's the scoop.....

Found this buck feeding on shinoak acorns. He didn't have a clue I was there at a distance of 180 yards. I was sitting on my butt, with sticks, had my Tikka 695 Whitetail wearing a Swaro A 3.5-10x44. First shot whiffed. Deer looked up from eating acorns and wondered WTH was going on. 2nd shot gut shot, deer humped up and walked a few steps. 3rd shot in the leg, deer eased away in the brush. I'm baffled at this point. Walk over to where he was, followed tracks to where he was laying up in a clump of brush where the pic was taken but he still wasn't dead so I finished him off. To make a long story short, hung up a feed bag at 100 yards and POI was 9" high and right and wouldn't adjust at all. Sent to Swarovski, erector trashed, they fixed it and I sold it. Virtually same thing happened to two more of my buddies with Swaro A's. We think they suck.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
