    100% spot on brother. SWFA is the only brand I use. 6x for killing, 10x for fun. I don’t think people know how ruggedly tough these scopes are. I usually pack a Kimber Montana but Teekers aren’t bad either 👍

    I don’t shoot past 400 yards for deer and bears. but I have shot 500 for fun with my SWFA. Fairly simple to dial and rugged tough.

    No budget, I only used SWFA cause of their toughness. Where I hunt my gear takes an absolute beating. Definitely ready to upgrade. Thankyou all for the killer suggestions

    I have been using SWFA fixed 6 and 10’s because they are so tough and they track flawlessly. They are on the heavier side though. Great suggestions I will look into them. Cheers

    Got my hands on a Kimber Montana .308 & a Howa Alpine Mountain rifle in .7mm-08, looking to keep things as light as possible for the type of backpack hunting I do for blacktails and Black Bears. Leaning toward Leupold to save weight but Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance guys.

    I usually shoot a .308, .243 or .7mm-08 for blacktails and black bears. First time trying out the 6.5CM and I can’t complain. Wow amazing weather it has barley broke 50 degrees here so far. When it’s not raining here, it’s paradise for fishin and hunting. I hope to make it Texas one day to do...

    Thankyou very much brother. He will be mounted with velvet on! Not many people understand how rare it is for a Sitka blacktail to get this size. Don’t think I’ll ever top this one. Cheers. Happy hunting! And this was taken in SE Alaska no brown bears

    Thankyou very much brother. Yes very rare for a Sitka blacktail. I don’t think I’ll ever shoot one as big as this ever again. Cheers. Happy hunting!

    Thankyou brother. Yes first thing that came to mind is what he would’ve looked like hard horned in September or October/November
