I like the SWFA 6x slightly better for hunting. I use the 10X on my air rifle for the backyard. I have t tried a 12x yet. They are great scopes for the money. The large elevation adjustment and parallax down to 10 yards makes them great for air guns and rimfires, not to mention very durable for center fire rifles for western hunting.

Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50, inexpensive, good enough quality for me, clear glass, lifetime warranty that I think beats all others. I have a couple of them. Mostly though I prefer iron sights but the eyes are not now what once they were upon a time.

I know what you mean. My 46 year old eyes are liking the adjustable parallax or objectives way better than any fixed scopes. Astigmatism and age have done a number along with lots of welding. I have almost swapped every scope over to the adjustable ao/parallax.

Bushnell banner for 22lr. Couple vortex, couple Nikon, couple AGM thermal. Sent the vortex diamondback back last month, vert crapped out. Got sent a new one. Trophy XLT Bushnell quit and no replacement or getting fixed. Saved the lens though. SeeAll was ridiculous. Sightmark red dot got replaced by one with better battery.

 

[Guns308]

A few different additions
Likes:
AK- POSP 4-8×42 straight from mother russia
Red Dot - cheaper- Bushnell TRS-26
Red Dot - not cheap- Eotech 512 EWS
Dislikes:
Anything Truglo- their warranty dept gave me the run around on a defective trutec red dot because I bought it from Buds, who wouldn't help with warranty because they didn't make it. After I paid to ship the dot back they did finally replace it. No more truglo products for me...ever.

Our binoc’s are all Zeiss except for one Steiner.

Scopes Leupold.

I always wanted Zeiss, but never could justify their ridiculous scope prices.

Then, in announcing their “Conquest” line of scopes, Zeiss actually admitted that ther Japs could make scopes of Zeiss quality. So, why pay the extra $1000’s for the Zeiss name ?

Looking @ Vortex now.

22LR- too vague, for a pistol, carbine, target rifle, etc, etc….
I will say I have a cheap Bushnell AR 2-7x32 on a Ruger American Predator that punches WAY above its price point.
Also Athlon Midas make great rimfire optics.
AR's- Burris RT6
Long Range / Target- Athlon Cronus BTR
Hunting / Hog- Burris RT6 or Burris BTS 35 at night, cause that’s all I can afford.

Thanks, It comes from years of learning that Cheap scopes aren't good & Good scopes aren't cheap!
