[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 587364, member: 319"] I've been using one for quite a while. Here's a thread with a thread with a lot of info: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/swfa-super-sniper-5-20x50hd-72157/[/url] . In short I like the scope a lot. You get a lot of scope for the money with the SS's because SWFA is both the manufacturer and the retailer, so they can basically sell them at wholesale. I feel this scope compares well with some more expensive scopes. Some quick answers to your questions: As to the glass, it's excellent. I've compared it with several PST's and it is noticeably better than the 6-24 PST (which I think is really good for the money), and way, way, way better than the 4-16 PST. Numerous people have compared them with various NF's and so far I'd say the majority have thought the SS was better but a few have said they liked the NF's better. The glass in the NF's may vary a bit from scope to scope. As to how they're holding up, they haven't been around all that long but there are a lot of them out there now and I have yet to hear of any sort of mechanical problem or breakage. The SS HD line has been around for a while now and their reputation for durability, tracking repeatablity/accuracy is stellar. They're built like a much more expensive tactical scope and it shows.
