I’ve got a few dozen Leupold and some Zeiss Conquest. They work great for me. The leupolds are 45 years old to new.
I’m mostly a PD shooter, and coyote caller with some informal target shooting and deer hunting.
Never had an SWFA so was not aware they were the holy grail. I would be willing to bet, 80% + of "hunters" have never heard of swfa......
Ping pong balls for the win.

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Personally Swfa classics leave a lot to be desired.
Guess I’m prude but I have them the glass sucks something awful. I will stay with Nightforce as long as they maintain their current standards.
I have a c458 on the way but think the 3.5-15x5o is the top of the heap for killing fur. And MOAR is perfect for killing period.

All depends on what a guy is after. I busted about 8 mark4’s. Fûckn hate them will never own another one that will make the field. The old friction adjustment VX line is pretty good for a set and forget guy.

Which brings up another subject, what percentage of "turret twisters" have made meat, via archery, or musket, with open sights of course. ... I'll bet, less than 10%.....

To the OP, I think you're over estimating SWFA. They may be popular on this site, but I have never seen one in the field when coming across other hunters.
Same is true of the Montana when it was the bees knees on here. Same with the now favored Fieldcraft. Still haven't seen one outside of a store.
I’m just regurgitating scope talk here on the ‘fire. I’d be willing to bet that VXII 3x9’s ride on more rifles than anything. I don’t know anyone in my locale that’s ever seen a SWFA, except for mine. And the usual response is “WOW, that’s a big scope”

Why so many scopes that suck? Because scope makers supply what people buy.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

So do optics companies just pull and idea out of their wazooola and try to sell it, or do you think they may know what the market says the demand is and will sell? My guess is the latter.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
