For jackrabbits, prairie dogs and coyotes out to 200 yards. 3-9 HD FFP, or 3-15 side focus SFP?
Help me choose my next SWFA scope
- Thread starter cmatera
- Start date
I own all scopes SWFA makes and I like the 3x15 FFP between the 3x9hd and the 3x15
All SWFA HD models , the 10x , the 5x20 and the 3x9 have a paralaxx of 50m
The 3x15 is 6M so it is much sharper for close shots , it has higher mag .
I believe the SFP was discontinued ? I havent saw it for over 1 year new . I do have one new one . But I tell you at tine the ffp was $100 more it is worth is
Take a look at the sample room they got a FFP for $549 next holiday it will be 10% off so if you wait for holiday it is cheaper
The only Swfa which I found to be poor quality is the 2.5x10 compared to any onther model

Yes, I believe the SFP was discontinued. I can buy one for $425 LN, no box or other accessories. Kind of a Catch-22 on the FFP. I don’t use the reticle for ranging, and on low magnification, it’s SO small.

I find it easier when using a lower magnification say 3 or 4x I like the larger reticle on the second focal plane. I used Hawkes for years without ever loading the batteries. Recent ratting with a bugbuster the large illuminated reticle was helpful. So I guess what I'm saying is scopes are like fishing rods, or golf clubs depends on your use. I just finished scoping my Cricket out to 150 yards no computer tech, just cardboard and multiple replications. The first focal scopes make it very easy.

I have 3. Swfa 10xsf md . 2 12x mil quad. My vote go the 10x sf md or quad.The 10× is very managable at close distance and 100+ yds a breeze. The 10x mounted on my cricket compact .22 shooting jsb 18.1 @ 860 have laid to reat many pest from 20 yds to 100 yds on 10x with no problem.
