SWFA Airgun Scope !

[Doug-T]

I have a SWFA 3-15 FFP mil-quad and really like it. For me and my buddies 3-12 or 3-15 is all we need. I do wish the mil-quad reticle had numbers (by 2's) next to the diamonds. 

The reticle Chris showed near the top of page 5 is WAY to busy for me. A blizzard of dots, numbers, etc. Light. Good ranging ability. Simple but intuitive reticle. That's what I'd be interested in.

I like that reticle design. Up to.my needs in br paper shooting.

@JoeWayneRhea are we any closer to getting an SWFA scope made? What's the ETA?

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

I'll be hollering at Chris this next week and I'll let. You guys know what I find out .

Half Mil w/ 1 Mil Wind?

Here is an enlargement of the meat of the new SS Christmas Tree that is easier to comprehend.

Wow... that's perfect! Really dig it. Easy to read, not cluttered, and the graduations are spot on for my needs.

Sign me up!

Great reticle!! Is it going to be ready for the Black Friday sale? 

 

[matgx3]

Nice... I like it. Is there a MOA version in the works? 

 

[IguanaPolice]

That's super nice!

SFP, FFP? 

Variable power? 

Illuminated?

minimum parallax?

Dang, I can't wait. Give us a hint as to when we can expect it. I'm actively looking to buy something right now!

I'm sold

Guys I'm about 99% positive it will be a fixed power model . I CANNOT WAIT to check one of these babies out !!! The SWFA guys nailed this one !!!!!!

So fixed magnification and no IR? That shuts out a lot of air gunners. Variable magnification and an illuminated reticle are essential for the pesting/shooting many air gunners do. What type of shooter or scenario is this new reticle set up for? Fixed power is too limiting in the field, on the bench it maybe different. I believe a scope for Airguns needs to be versatile, and perform within the range of variables one is likely to encounter in the field. Unless you’re strictly shooting benchrest. I can’t imagine going afield with a fixed power scope.



The above opinion is in the context that this was supposed to be an airgun specific reticle.

 

[Doug-T]

That reticle is still too cluttered for me: 20 dots within 4 mil elevation range. Maybe cut that down to 10. I'd also like to see the windage dots be smaller (R0.015). The addition of the "5" and the center crosshair cutout with a dot in the middle is an improvement.

Based on the earlier posts by SWFA.com, the reticle was represented as variable magnification, FFP.

 

[JoeWayneRhea]

Guys I'm sure Chris will clarify before long . But no two guys are gonna have the same idea of what an "Airgun" scope reticle will look like . It may be on a variable power scope also. 

I'm pretty sure Chris has a plan of which models will get the new reticle . Every shooter has their own likes and priorities. I never use illumination and almost always use a fixed power scope . 

I'll be seeing Chris in a couple weeks. I'll try and get info then

Fixed or variable, SFP or FFP, max and min magnification. We need to know at least that before we can comment objectively on a particular reticle design.

5-20x50 FFP MIL/MIL - Isn't that what we are talking about?
