SWFA SS 3-15×42 Tactical Rifle Scope Review

I had a chance the last couple of days to mount scope and try it out. I used the Burris signature Zee with inserts to optically center scope. That took some time but
well worth it. My first observations are the has some serious glass inside it. I’m not kidding you but it does come at a price I guess. It is also pretty light and
almost compact compared to Hawke SW. The FFP Reticals take some getting used to. I’m used to shooting my Hawke at 13x which is not at TRUE mil. So this scope is like shooting the Hawke at 20 Power. I did make some very good shots today took starling at 84 yards that was on 4th Mildot and four of them at 75 yards. two of them didn’t give me much to shoot at but managed to snipe them both in the head/neck area. I was pretty stroked. Once again was very impressed with clarity and contrast of the glass. I did buy and extra 2″ of hood with the scope.
I at this point i have a smaller, clearer, lighter, better, FFP scope on my cricket and its worth the money.

Took 4 birds out of this tree 78 yards. They like to land on top where the dead branches are. I later cranked scope up 25 clicks and started to pop them with cross hairs at center mass. That’s also the other beautiful part of this scope.

Can’t agree more. My 25 is getting one too. After I recover from buying this. I recently did a 90 yard target practice on 2″ galvanized spoon. I couldn’t make out the hits property with Hawke at 20x. It was not a problem for the swfa at all. I can clearly see the 6 dimples on target

Cheap scopes only magnify the imperfections in the glass at higher magnification. I was comparing the SWFA 3-15 versus a Nikon Monarch 6-24 scope ($699 scope) that my dad had, and the SWFA was so much better in glass clarity that there was no comparison between the two. My Dad was so disappointed in the Nikons quality after having them side by side that he sold it and bought another 3-15 SWFA. This scope is seriously sets the bar for quality at its price point.

Holland. Midway has them

Good to see you like the scope! If you haven’t already, you should order a set of the zero stop shims from this person on snipers hide, it is a good investment.
