Seeing if anybody's laid hands on one of these yet? Impressions? It's supposed to be a marked improvement over the XTR II and is getting some good feedback on other forums. Made in the U.S. too.

Another vote for Sound Gear. I bought my set from Len here at the Long Range Hunting store. I wear them all day long as I find them pretty comfortable. Worn them from New Zealand to New Mexico and in all types of inclimate weather and they've held up very well. I have a decent amount of hearing...

Anybody get their hands on one of these scopes yet? Thoughts?

For me it's my Tangent Theta 315M with Gen 2 Mildot. The 315P is a close second only because it's a heavy sucker or I'd put it first.

I've got a GAP 6.5 PRC that's become my primary white tail rifle. Took an 8 pt. Kansas buck with it at 334 yds and another Georgia 8 pt at 408 yds with it last hunting season. Both with 143 gr. ELD-X's (3056 fps MV). Neither deer went further than 40 yards after the shots. Shot a couple of...

Jess, when you established your zero did you use the Swaro supplied tool to hold the clutch assembly up against the zero stop while tightening down the three screws in the clutch assembly itself? Then pull the lower ring up and replace the turret cap over it, line up zero and tighten the screws...

Thank you for the feedback. I haven't bought a Leupold in 12 years. This looks to be a scope that'll change that.

Bravo, any issues with tracking or holding zero? Really looking hard at buying the Mark 5 as it checks a lot of boxes for me.

Off the top of my head: ARC Warne Mountain Tech's Seekins/Vortex TPS TSR Badger Ordnance Leupold Don't know of any with a top cap bubble level. Wish Hawkins Precision would make theirs in 35mm.

If they prove to track precisely and be as durable as NF, SWFA, or the Bushnell LRTS/LRHS line I'll be all over one. I like nice glass as well as the next guy, but if a scope doesn't track and can't hold zero it's useless. Elementary I know, but it seems so many optics company's continue to get...

Are you looking for brass or loaded factory ammo? If loaded factory ammo, SWFA is sitting on a decent amount of both Hornady 147 gr. Match and 143 gr. Precision Hunter factory ammunition.

143gr. ELD-X at 334 yds. Hard quartering away shot. He went about 30 yards and dropped. 143gr. ELD-X at 408 yds. Broadside behind the shoulder. Went 20 yards and dropped.

This is exactly how I run mine and have never had an issue. Both off a bench and prone.

5, 6, 15, & 16. This is a real bummer.
