Anyone have or know of pictures/videos of what the SWFA 3-15X42 scope looks like at 3X that they could post?
Lots of pictures of the reticle but I haven't found any showing the 3X reticle. I have seen several of the 3-9 and it does look a lot like a Duplex but I was wondering what the 3-15 looked like.

All FFP unless illuminated are hard to see for me. I leave mine on 6 usually.
Good Shooting!

That doesn't look like the reticle in my 3-15. Is that an moa quad or sfp model?

I am sorry, I didn't think to specify I was asking about the FFP rather than the SFP version.
Is that the SFP version?

Sorry for the lousy pics but best I could do trying to hold/focus my phone. The pics don't do the reticle justice but as you can see at 3X with FFP the thin lines are hard to pickup. Again, the pics don't show the reticle as you would see it with your eye but against a variegated background the thin lines are hard to pick up. SWFA 3-15 Mil/mil FFP At 15X for comparison
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

Thank you. When you get the Athlon, can you post your opinion in comparison?

I have a 3-15 ffp mil on my 264. It's a little thin at 3 and I couldn't use it to hold over with the reticle but if I was holding over and needed to read mils I'm in a higher power anyways. It's usable for just pasting the crosshairs on something at 3 power except in poor light. If the lighting isn't great I keep mine no lower than about 5. From 5-15 it's very usable in most conditions.
I love ffp scopes but having a wide mag adjustment range means it needs a well designed reticle for sure. I'm skeptical of anything more than a 4x range. Most ffp scopes would be better served with 3x ranges. Some of the 6-7x range stuff out know have more complicated internals and I'm a big fan of simple ruggedness. I'm pretty happy with most of my 4x stuff though like 3-12 or 4-16.
