There's several scope manufactures that have lost the short , range hunting crowd, IMO. I wouldn't hunt with the highest end $2,000+ , ultra clear, euro scope if you gave it to me and it had one of those military , man killin' reticles .



I started hunting with a SWFA fixed 6 power scope a couple of years ago and found out that I like it. I paid $210 for it new on a Black Friday sale. I used to shoot everything on the highest power that I had, regardless if the deer was 50 yards or 200 yards. Lol. Now I’m shooting an 18” gong at 650 yards with a 6x on top of my 223. I never would have thought I would have been able to do that.

As soon as their gen 2(has different turret options and a built in zero stop) 6x scopes become available, I’m buying a couple more of them. They’ve increased in price to $350, though.

83% of all statistics are made up.
