Hey there John. No, it's a wrap around tape product from customturretsystems.com. They work great.

SWFA should make a "Hunter" series of 6x and 19x fixed SS scopes with a turret setp Identical to the Bushnell.

I damn sure do not need a $700-1000+ Bushnell scope that weighs 26oz on a hunting rifle.

But I would buy a SWFA at under $400 and 16 oz (or less) if it had those turrets.

Thank you ckat, and that's exactly what the setup is. Appreciate your kind words.

Only a Whining CLUELESS Texan,would cover up a turret,to make it "better". Hint. Congratulations?!? LAUGHING!

Be curious to see how she'd make a clock "better" and how a Speedometer and Tachometer soooooooo very reliably stump her too. Hint. LAUGHING!

Retards going the extra mile,to make sure an erector and it's windshield don't/can't jive,is simply fhuqking HILARIOUS! May as well etch Retardation too. Ooooopsie! Hint. LAUGHING!

You could spin these Droolers in a circle,within a Phone Booth and they'd haveta' dial 911 for directions,on how to get out! Hint. LAUGHING!

Bless your hearts,for doing your BEST,with what incredibly fhuqking little you "have" to "work" with.

Hint.

LAUGHING!

WOW +P+++!!!...................

Personally, if I were you, “luckily I’m not”, I’d worry more about who the ex has her ass throwed up in the air for, or how your neck isn’t gonna suffocate you in your sleep, than worry about what uncle Johnny runs... just a thunk... xoxoxoxo

The sad part is that it’s true. Covering turrets? WTF

I have the 3-9 HD on a Tikka T3X Superlite 6.5 Creedmoor. Grandson likes it and we are slowly learning the mil system.

Another vote for bankable adjustments over brightness or clarity to edge of field. Scopes are aiming devices, not primarily for scanning.

If you can punch paper with a 1" Leup BR then a 20x SWFA will not make you whine. Unless an 8 y/o firing a rifle for the first time, I'll grant.

Seems as my 3-15 would get very finicky at 12x and up, my 10x's had a blurry ring around the edge of the sight picture about 1/4", the 6x was the best one I had but was way too heavy for a 6x scope I thought. What am I missing?


Ain't hype if it's true. I've got 13 SWFA scopes in five models and they do exactly what they should at a price that's unbeatable. On the other hand I've had over 40 others of various brands and most of those have been sent down the road except for some old Leupold M8 fixed powers and some Nightforce and Bushnell models. A SWFA scope isn't ideal for all rifles, but neither are any other scopes.

I've only got 70+ of 'em and in more than a few flavors. Have yet to experience anything resembling an "issue",but have had quite a few others Puke in that timeframe. Hint.

There's nothing to "learn",when making strides and doing it right,ala Mil scale. Simply run DOPE in .10 Mil values and apply same,less "conversion" or "counting clicks". Hint.

Sure is nice sighting in a new platform,in (2) shots,as opposed to the Reupold Shuffle of yore. Hint.

Bless the hearts of others,for doing their HILARIOUS best.

Hint.

LAUGHING!.................

Maybe because I never "convert click to a measurement" - Mil/Mil is very easy for me to use.

I don't give a chit about how many inches something is - move it the Mils my scope tells me. Dafaq do I care if its 3 inches or 6? Spin the knob and light another primer.

SS does a good job giving me a reticle that let's me "measure" on the windshield and go.

Amen, it’s so intuitive it’s scary. Plus the 1-2 shot zeroing doesn’t suck.

Yep.

Did eventually find one SWFA where the clicks weren't as specified (a 16x fixed), but otherwise they've been dead-nuts.

So, what experience do you have with SWFA?
Seems like most of your posts have no sustenance or correlation to the topic!?!?
