I have several of bof and prefer the SWFA unless I need an illuminated reticle. That comparing the SWFA 3-9x42 vs the Nightforce 2.5-10x32 or 42.

For killing, I prefer the MQ reticle to anything NF makes.

I've drank the 6X and 10X SWFA koolaid, but I have to agree that if you have time to count mil marks you have time to dial. I only use the mil-quad reticle's elevation marks for goofing around and don't see the point for using them for elevation. Wind on the other hand.....

I'm not good enough to confidently hold (or dial) for wind on a critter, but playing around at the range I can see the advantages to windage hold off.

I never said a thing about holding elevation with the reticle. There are a few reasons I prefer the MQ to any of the NF reticles, but holding elevation ain’t one of ‘em. I’ve put a lot of pounds of meat on the ground with the MQ, and I rarely ever use the elevation hashes for killing. The windage hashes get used, and the bold outer posts get used. If a guy prefers one of the NF reticles, I’ll not argue. Just stated my preference, is all.

Agreed. It works pretty well for point-and-shoot, too, which accounts for a fair bit of the killing I do.

I find the hollow diamond mil quad reticle hard to aquire in "busy" backgrounds compared to mildot or my preferred lrhs. The swfa click detents are good enough but not on par with the best. You will not have a zero stop on the swfa.

Pretty much the swfa does everything you need and nothing you don't.....but they are not my favorite. I own 5 or 6 of them.
