SWFA 6x42

1 comment

Been watching and reading lots of reviews of the 10x but very few for the 6x and none of them were helpful --- is the 6x just unpopular or is there a problem with them? I am leaning towards the 6x for close in shooting and wanted to do some target shooting out to 500 yds. Could a 6x scope be used out to 500 yds? Thanks

Yes it can, against 1MOA targets you'll be ok. 6x is IMHO too much for a fixed power hunting optic in most situations and not enough for most tactical/target applications. That said, if you're hunting open country for big game or even medium game at no more than medium range then 6x would be just about ideal.

    Falcon 3-18x50 S18i 30mm Scope

    Has anyone used the S18i scope. I know it is a lower cost scope but I am also starting out in long range shooting. I am currently using a Savage Axis II heavy barrel in 308 in a Boyd At-One stock. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    PA Platinum on sale

    So a few places have the PA platinum 6x30x56 with the Deka mil and the BDC reticle on sale for $899 at the moment. From the reviews I've read and the comments here when the price is normally $1499, I'm guessing most would say this scope is steal at sub $1000. Am I correct? Just thought I'd share if anyone else like me was looking at the moment. Thanks Al for the insight you've provided. Ty

    For Sale: 4-28X50 40MM RECON 1, FFP, MIL/MIL, with XTREME X1illuminated reticle

    Up for sale is a lightly used IOR Recon 1 scope with 40 MM main tube. These are rare as hen's teeth as Rex would say. The scope tracks 100% all the way out to 2,500 yds +. Amazing Schott glass through this 40 MM main tube. I am consolidating optics to prioritize another piece of gear so this one has to go. It comes with a 40 MM American Rifle Co. 30 MOA M10 QD-L scope base ($300), a 40 MM bubble level ($34), Tenebreax cover for ocular ($38) and an objective sunshade. This does not come with the original box. Asking $2,000. The rifle is a custom Mirage ULR with Bartlein barrel made by Paul and was made with Rex's 7-300. It is also potentially for sale as a package. I have dope and a load that shoots out to 2551 yds. If interested, please send email to pricosurf@yahoo.com. Thanks,
