Well after some time reading on this site and hearing people rave about these super chickens I broke down and ordered a fixed 6. I am fully expecting to never miss another shot, be able to walk on water, and laugh at any shot inside of a half mile.

In all seriousness though I am kind of excited to try it.

I actually heard a story of a hunter that got turned around and lost and 3 days later died from dehydration! Not so with a fixed 6 SS........all you have to do is look thru the scope than walk in the general direction it pointed and instant water!! Thats a true story and I read it on the internet😄

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Hate to break it to you man..... but not everything you read on the internet is true. I read a story about “more 1/2 MOA groups at 500 yards than I can count” on the internet once, dude was gonna post a video and everything. It turned out to be total Bullschitt....

The Conquest 3x9's were very bright and clear to me but had horrible parallax shift and of course it's non-adjustable like the SWFA 3x9. And the lack of parallax adjustment on the 3x9 is why I see no advantage over the 6X or 10X and it's marketed as a "tactical" scope.

The 3-9 SWFA is shorter, more compact than the fixed 6's, the adjustments firmer. The turrets are slightly smaller, the glass is a little better.
