Just ordered a 6x42 Mil/Mil SWFA for my "John in PA" tuned D460. It's doing 20.5 fpe with JSB 18s and 21 fpe with JSB 15.9s.

Sorry for the shine. This target has been laminated and stored in a notebook. Anyway she shoots groups like this:

I can not wait till I have that glass on that rifle. It deserves it. I've never owned a really nice bit of glass. I've shot over good glass but just never decided to drop the coin on the optic instead of the rifle.
 
Well, I got the 6x42 in and put it on the Condor .25. Before I mounted it I checked that it was centered from the vendor, it was. Then I poked it out a window and tossed a pellet at the bottom of a piling out in the river at 105 yards. I watched the splash and it was 2 mils low and 1 mil right. I didn't like that and swapped the front and back rings. I shot again and it was the same so that told me it was the rail not the rings which were off. I pulled the rail and replaced it with a different one. Attached the rings and shot again. That shot was center on the piling and about 10 mils low. I took the rail off and swapped it end for end and the next shot landed at the bottom of that piling at 105 yards. I went into http://www.hawkeoptics.com/chairgun.html Chairgun and figured out the drop I needed to dial in to zero it at 35 yards and took it out into the yard. The first group was maybe an inch high and an inch left. So now my optical zero on that mount is pretty close to dead on at 100 yards and my 35 yard zero is five mils down from that. It is really impressive what a good set of turrets can accomplish.

I'll be in the market for a couple more of those fixed power SWFA optics before winter.
