1250 Yards
SWFA SS5-20 HD, it made hits at 1250 in a drizzling rain easy with my 260. I have 3 IORs and 2 Sightron SIIIs, but the SS is the best scope.

Flawless
I got my 5-20 non-illuminated on Thursday. Within 10 shots it was bore sighted, tracking test done, sighted in at 100 yards and when given correct dope put it thru a 1" hole in a plate at 234 yards and was ready for a practice day at our 1000 yard range. JBM dope was perfect thru 1000 and shot it in its first match on Sunday and it worked flawlessly.
My son has the illuminated version and both scopes are way more than we expected, and for the money I don't think they can be beat. No need to spend the big bucks to be competitive, we've looked thru all the high dollar scopes and a couple may be a bit brighter but not $2500.00 brighter and they don't track or dial the distance any better.

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!
