[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1530074, member: 54178"] You absolutely will not do better (for a new scope) than the SWFA SS 3- 15 x 42 with MOA/MOA or mil/mil turrets and reticle, FFP and side focus, or any other SWFA scope for that matter. SWFA has NO advertising and NO dealers so the savings are passed on to us. I got the above scope on a $100. off sale. That sale came around again in Dec. but the price is now back to $600. which for FFP and the good glass of that scope is unheard of in the industry. When some folks on the "6.5 Creedmoor" site told me about SWFA scopes my reaction was, "What the hell is SWFA? Never heard of it." But then other SWFA owners chimed in about the good quality and I watched some Youtube reviews and was sold - and I still am. OK, the turrets have no locking feature but you can buy aftermarket shim kits from a guy on Snipers Hide so that a combo of the different thicknesses under the turret cap gives you a zero when cranking down on the elevation turret or in on windage, meaning you can always crank back to your zero. With all the other features of that scope I can forgive SWFA for no locking turrets. I love their reticle for hunting with a laser range finder programmed to your cartridge hold over. Eric B.
