I was actually impressed by the fact it is two steps ahead of the 20x ss as far as clarity and focus. if it proves as reliable I will have a couple more and start retiring my 6x weavers.

I’m wondering if I should go back and set the scope a little better in the rings and see if I can mimic any of the complaints I’ve read about here.

have one on a savage mod. 99 250-3000 works great!
Ed I do too. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/116291.jpg) Thanks for mentioning that. I don't think I have test fired that rifle yet, 2 years after building it. My forgotten 99.

I kinda love mine and hate mine.
Mine is on a 16" pencil barrel AR with a YHM turbo k.
Whole setup might not weight 6lbs sans mag.
It's a great little ranch walking setup.
I like keeping it on 2.5 for hundred yard deer hunting.
10x is really just for paper so I don't care if it fuzzes, but I've never noticed it.
Who needs more than 6x or so on a BDC reticle anyhow?
My only gripe is really just asthetically it looks kinda goofy having the optic sticking out 2" behind the charging handle.
And it's so small it looks like a toy. Doesn't affect usability at all, just pure vanity.
For a 300-400 yard gun with no recoil (223) it's a pretty good choice.
Very bright at last shooting minutes too.
Like- almost as bright as my NF Atacrs bright. Mine has been fine at 10x. The only gripe I have is sfp, leaving the reticle holdover only usable at 10x. A straight mil scale would have been nice also. Have mine on a light ar aswell, T2 on the way.
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................

Last update, I did some shooting yesterday and managed a 3" group at 500yds with this scope and a generally usable ,but not spectacularly accurate 243. Mirage was not good and laying prone. I will completely be happy with this scope and its intended uses.............

I had it set on 10 x and used the reticle ( no dialing), worked as advertised so far and makes me a little giddy for antelope and deer season now..........

Does anyone here have any actual personal experience with the SWFA 2.5-10 lightweight rifle scope. Just thinking it may be what I need nless experienced people have negative commentary. I have used other swfa scopes and am aware they don't have the best glass and are not the most pleasing to the eye , but are rugged and functional. Just want opinions on the one specified. I've bought several scopes from them over the years...a Swarovski a Schmidt and a couple of Leupolds. I never really looked at the Chinese made crap they sell.

Please tell us the inside info you have on these Chinese made scopes. We're all interested to know since they are marked "made in Japan". Which you obviously know I'd incorrect

My only complaint with my apparently incorrectly labeled Japanese made SWFA 2.5-10x32 bdc scope is the reticle choice. I sure wish they would have kept the capped turrets and used the MQ reticle or just a plain mildot (with of course mil adjustments).
Clarity, weight, eye relief is fine.

Exceptions are sometimes made for folks in Yurrup., but given the immigration debacle there, those will be fewer and fewer.
What fresh Hell is this?
