I found the SWFA included rings to be serviceable, but not rings that I would have chosen to buy separate from the scope--and not rings that I would have paid money for. The alloy felt cheap, the ring to ring fit was only fair and the clamp bore unevenly on both the scope rail and the ring body. They're free for a reason. Also, they are true Picatinny rings; the pair I received in last year's Black Friday sale would not fit the Weaver slot of a set of Warne Maxima bases I had.

I'm not even in the market but am going to buy one of their SS scopes anyways just to see what all the hoopla is about. That's what I was thinking too.

10X on da way.
Code ship49 works for free shipping. I think that's a new treat during a sale... Thanks Chris!
Anyone want to buy a bubble level?

I figured you'd get a 16x due to being 1.6x better.

I'm not even in the market but am going to buy one of their SS scopes anyways just to see what all the hoopla is about. That's what I was thinking too. Same. I went for a 10x and a 1-4x. Was planning on a 10x and 6x, but changed to the 1-4x last minute. Mistake or not? I liked the idea of the ranging reticle in the 1-4x, and it'll go on a 308 AR that's more of an all-around rifle than long range rig. I haven't warmed up to the idea of fixed 6x all the time, but if they're really as good as some say maybe I should get one of those too. I got low rings for the 10X, since it'll be mounted to a 20 MOA riser on an AR and those "low" rings aren't super low anyway. The 1-4x came with the cantilever SSALT mount. I wasn't super impressed with the optics in these SS scopes when trying out a couple other guy's rifles in a long range class, especially at low light, but figured with all the talk here I better try them on my own rifles to see what's what. If I don't like them I'll list 'em in the classifieds.

I ordered one 12x42 MOA QUAD. Choose the mid-height rings just 'cause. Already have set of light Tallys for this new scope.
Scopes going on a .243 plinker.

Ordered a 1x6, 6x and 16x. 16 will be a load development scope, the 1x6 for a Remington pump or AR10, and the 6x just because....:)

Thought it over for days..6x, 10x, or 3-9...for a "do it all" 308. Finally decided I wanted the flexibility of a variable...got a 3-9 on the way.

Not only is the free shipping code new but seems the $8-11 options are too. IIRC it was $17ish the last few years. Well, I am kinda irked I did not prepare properly this year and finding myself craving another 3-9! Nevermind. I just ordered a 3-9! I am done for till about Black Friday 2018!

Great scope. I used it this year. I ordered 2nd 3-9. I may order one every year to replace my hunting scopes. I also bought a 3-15 for a target rifle.

Does anyone have any issue with the short eye relief when this scope is cranked to 9x? I debated off and on with this scope and held off because of the ER. Ended up buying a 10x42mm to try out.
