[QUOTE="muleystalker, post: 1173132, member: 79944"] Check this out, just goes to show that a lot of the scopes out there are made in one factory to someones specs and then branded, a lot of people give the SWFA's SS a bad wrap because they associate them with Tasco. But Tasco didn't build scopes, just like a lot of brands, they have them built buy a company, and that company may build scopes for 30 or 40 different names. Tasco had these built to mil spec for a contract, and the navy did buy and use a bunch. Now look at the pics in this link and open up the link in the add to snipers hide and read about the Bousch and Lomb. That B&L is the same scope as the SWFA 10x HD. Made in the same factory just branded Different. I wonder what people would have said about the scopes if they were just associated with B&L and not Tasco? SWFA just bought the rights to the scope from Tasco, as they probably did with B&L and made it there HD line.
