Default Scope
Have one of the early SS10X42 models that has accounted for an awful lot of prairie dogs and a few thousand rounds of .223 Rem on the first gun. Later it got stuck on a .308 Win for another 1500-2000 rds, and I used it to win the 2005 Findlay Cup match. Around then I got a SS16X42 that has been my default scope for clamping on my sling-n-irons guns for load testing or the occasional Any/Any match. It survived being in the trunk of a car that was totaled in a collision on the way home from a match in 2006. Scope was mounted on a 6.5-08 match rifle in a soft case; collision was to the front end of the car but still... it wasn't much fun anywhere in that vehicle, trust me. Later took the gun to the range and had to re-zero it, but still works fine to this day. It’s the one I use as a 'control' when testing a new high dollar scope - if the gun starts shooting weird, inconsistent, or just unusually larger than normal groups, and nothing else is found (i.e. nothing loose on the gun, ammo prep checks out, etc.) I pull the fancy scope and stick the SS16x42 on there to see if it’s the scope. More than once it has been. The SS10x42 is currently on my step-son's rifle. Being he's a Marine, it’s about the only thing of mine I was reasonably certain he couldn't (easily) break.... More

swfa ss 16x42 tac scope
This is an excellent scope. I mounted it with the SWFA tactical 30mm rings on a blackhawk rail on my Remington 700 varmint in 308. tight group at 300 yards. Definitely buying another one of these scopes soon.

ss 16x42
Mounted this on top of my Tikka m595 .223. The glass is clear and clean, turrets turn with good feel and zero with ease. This is a great price and I will purchase another one. Thanks SWFA for great products.

O.C.D. is my middle name!
I now own 3 S.S.. x2 16's and x1 20 power. I shoot mostly LR target, but my next purchase will be a 3-9 for my deer rifle. The S.S. cannot be beat for the money!!!
