What about the variables? Specifically the 3-9x42mm and 3-15x42mm and their eye relief and eye box. How easy are they to get behind throughout their magnification range? Any case of tunnel vision (blackouts around the edges)?

Typically, fixed scopes are more robust than their variable counterparts. Any issues with the variables holding up and keeping POA/POI, or are they just as hella stout as the fixed Super Chickens?


I've had a 3-9 for some time now, and it's first rate stuff. I prefer it over the fixed power SWFAs. Jury is still out on the 3-15, as I've only had one for a couple months, but I like it so far.

I STRONGLY prefer the Mil-Dot to the Mil-Quad.
