Fell off Bench and Still Dead on
I was shooting at Sac Valley a local range near me. That day winds were blowing at around 20MPH sucked but still managed to push a .491 group @ 100 yards with my .308 Remmy SPS Tac. Then I got the card to be able to shoot longer range. I went to the 300 yard lane and well wind was still going crazy. This whole day the wind was knocking targets down like crazy. So I get to the 300 yard lane I go setup my target and back at the bench.
I shoot my first string of 5 shots and without knowing my ammo velocity being the FGMM 168 .308 says 2650 but out of a standard 24-6 inch barrel. I guess it is at 2600 for my 20 inch barrel. I was about 3 inches to the left on the first string being the wind was blowing to the left. So I readjust my scope and bam right on with the second string. So I go to check the target with my buddy and while going back my rifle was not on the table. I seriously thought that someone snagged it my heart started going up in BPM. Ha ha ha
So I get close to where I could see and notice that it was on the ground!!!! Yup the wind blew the rifle off the table and fell on the scope and the table sites about 3 feet high and concrete down below!!! Now I was pissed that my 1K scope might be jacked up. So I grab it off the ground and shoot another 5 shots still right on. I go home and later order a Vortex bubble level so I had to take it off to install the level. I got back to the range and was about .3 mils low but still center and almost spot on. So I can vouch that this scope can take some beating.

SWFA who?
I went to a benchrest day a few weeks ago where the other folks had 36X and 42X scopes that I looked through and I'm pretty sure I had the clearest picture of anyone on the line. Everyone that looked though mine said "Wow, is that one of those $3,000. euro deals?" They had never heard of SWFA.... More

Way Under Priced
I was shooting with my SS 5-20 today with my brother in law who also has one. We were marveling at the quality of them vs the price point. I have yet to look through a scope at under $2200 that I would prefer.
Keep it up SWFA!
