I'm a fan of the 3-9SS. I have two; each on Tikkas. They work well IME. Would like to add a 6X for the 22LR for the focus adjustment as my only compliant is the ability to focus close enough for the distances I use the 22lr at.

Sometimes you have to huck a whole chicken into the water with a big hook to catch anything.
SWFA scopes are ugly, glass class below average, and door knob handles made for trembling, arthritic hands.
Now, watch the bobber.

I've put a 3x9 HD on my RAR 8 twist .223 to use as an elcheap'o range gun. With the same sighting system on two Kimber Hunters..... I can spend a lotta time strafing steel plates while enjoying all the same scope controls and sight picture. They work very well and have so far been very reliable.
I have a 6X SSMQ on my Ruger HB .17HMR. It's a blast to shoot and the ability to dial parallax out at close range and dial come ups on distance makes the setup very useful.
I like the two SWFA versions I've worked with and can see me buying more.

That’s about the best description I’ve heard so far. I ordered (1), one time, took it outta the box, looked across at a clearcut in from of the house, boxed it up sold er in the classifieds 😂😂😂

Any particular reason you've decided to move away from the LRHS?

Go outside, you may find your water barrel is now full.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

One time I climbed 6,000 vertical
Got the ss classic on a 11 year old bull tahr and dumped it
Then yard sailed my ass down a scree slope
Then my buddy hammered a chamois shortly there after at 350
And then the next day I creased a 9 5/8” Cham at a 500
And dusted better part of 3 dozen goats the following weekend.
Shoulda had a swaro.
Did I miss Laffin, windshield, couch bound [bleep]??

I'll throw more bait. First focal scopes suck balls. Nothing like buying a scope where you can't see the reticle the first 6 powers in the range. I have no desire to hunt timber with a scope set on 10x because I can't see the reticle otherwise.

I have a 6x Milquad on a 7-08 Kimber Montana (grey stock)
Happy with it for what I do. MW whitetails. I suspect it would be fine on western elk/muley and such.
Tracks, hold zero and returns to zero. I'm not old nor young (40's) with glasses and never had issue seeing the reticle. It works I guess.
Only bitch would be weight but on the Montana - overall package is pretty decent, especially at its price.

We finally agree on something 😂😂 Lol. "dogcatcher, you stupid mf'r! Don't you realize your substensions are only accurate on high power with your second focal piece of schit?!!!" Yes, I'm aware. I only dial or hold when shooting long range, and my scope is cranked up to high power regardless. I don't shoot long range on 3x. And what good are substensions you can't see? My buddy had to buy first focal everything. Now his $3000 nightorces are worthless below 10x.
