Swfa 6x

[andrew.burkhart1]

The swfa 6x seems to have a lot of favorable opinions. Does anyone have through scope photos showing animal sized targets at different ranges? Only worried 6x would be limiting on deer sized game in the 400-500 yard range.

Treat it like a duplex you can dial.

This is a 3-9

Earlier this year I got a 3-9 for my sons rifle build. And I really like the scope. I might prefer it over my other leupold VX5s. The swfa Is super stout, very clear glass and I like the top turret.

I actually tripped and fell hard on the ground this past rifle season with it. I hit the ground, the gun hit the ground. It was not graceful at all. I was worried about the scope. I ended up going to a near by range and checked zero. It was dead on.

I don't have pictures or have hunted with my 6X. But I really like the FOV compared to my 10X. When I had it off the rifle I was able to see/ identify crows at just past a mile. At the range I easily hit steel out to 800 yards on my 308 Win. at the 550 line I hit our down scaled steel ram and a 5" rock. I've considered taking my 4.5-14X50mm on my 7mm RM and putting the 6X on there. But ultimately it may end up on my AR. I don't have any concerns hunting with mine.

No worries at all. I was using the reticle to "measure" parts of a stock tank at a laser-ranged 527 yards 15-20 minutes after sunset a couple days ago. As a point of reference, the vertical stadia covers well less than an upright t post at that distance.

Best regards,
John

We shot a couple doe antelope between 6-700 yards and they were about the limit for a fixed 6 for me.
But it was also hot in the 90s and just awfully poor shooting conditions.
Deer from 0-600 should be a non issue

I am assuming the stadia marks are clearly viable?

Have you seen this? Good photo of the reticle here and discussion of using it for practical shooting.

SWFA SS 6x42mm MQ Field Evaluation

This is a field evaluation of the SWFA SS 6x MQ scope. This scope was brought to me from Ryan Avery for an evaluation. The ammunition used was Hornady 168gr ELD-M that was purchased by Ryan. The 20 shot proof group with this ammunition was just over 1.1 MOA. The scope and weight- Turrets...

This one has even more and some closer up images of the stadia.

How to use a mil/mil scope-reticle, turrets and proper usage

I have gotten a bunch of requests to write up a "how to" for using mil reticle scoots. In this case the SWFA Milquad reticle. It is the 6x42mm SS with MQ reticle in the pictures, however the process and use is the same as long as you have a scope who's reticle matches the turret adjustments-...

Jack O'Connor said he never saw a big game shot a 4X scope couldn't handle; he and Finn Aagaard both agreed a 2.5X scope would handle most big game shots. My primary big game rifle wears a 2.75X scope and has never failed me.
