About to pull the trigger on one of these scopes - any other scopes I could be researching/considering in the same spec/price point?
SWFA 3-15x42
- Thread starter Steyr
- Start date
Didn't realise it came as SFP?

Steyr,
Did you decide if you want FFP or SFP? Pay close attention to the 2 different scopes. Yes they obviously operate differently as most everyone knows at this point, however the reticle is slightly different as well. The subtension lines on the SFP are smaller and the center is more open with a dot. While I, like most guys, really like the FFP aspect, the SFP does have some great attributes as well. Especially if you like filming through you scope. The reticle can get really small on low magnification and it's hard to see mil's while looking through your camera. At least it is for me. On high magnification, the FFP can get pretty large. It's still good for minute of a squirrel however, I prefer the SFP SWFA for long shots. The reticle is noticeably smaller and better for pin point accuracy. Just my thoughts.. I own both and absolutely love them both! Your mission should dictate which scope. By the way... if you already know all this just forget about my ramblings. lol Good luck in your decision!

Thanks man, I have only owned One ffp scope before and must say it was not for Me. I have however not tried the SWFA. I think the reticle got way too thick on anything above 10x on my Delta 4,5-14 FFP. I have decided to try a fixed power SWFA 12x instead for hunting purposes and plinking
