What SWFA do you have and why?
Soooo, say I might have found a way to get a SWFA fixed power scope to my country (legit) but can’t decide wich One to pick, what are your personal suggestions?
I am thinking of the 10x because it will be used for hunting and that should be enough right:

But maybe I should get two while I am at it? A 16x as well perhaps? Or maybe a 20x
The thing is I want a simple lightweight hunting scope for my Cricket compact -> 10x. But I might get a .25 later that can Hunt at longer distances so getting a 16x or 20x for future purposes might be Nice, they are not as lightweight though.

Thanks guys for the input
I use12 For hunting 16 for paper punching bad experience with the 20
I have the 10X on my .30cal, it’s perfect! I normally don’t use higher magnification, 10-12X it’s all you need really.
I’ve got a 16X and if could do it all over I would go with Keysore, 12X. I shoot from 20 yards to 135 yards.
To be honest I never knew they were listed at different weights. They all measure the same on my postal scale. 19 oz. The only significant difference when choosing the 12 vs 10 x is the 10X can be had in a side focus. I hunt from 40-150 yards with most of my shots being 50-120 yards.
The 12x weighs 20,8 Oz vs the 18,7 Oz of the 10x not sure if an extra 2x is worth 2oz
But wait, the 10x is 18,7 oz, the 12x is 20,8 and the 16x is 18,3? Am I missing something here?

Ok, so you prefer 12x from 10x. Cool, what are the average distances you hunt on?
I have them all the one I use the most is the 12x l. On your list the only one I would not recommend is the 20x. The FOV is not great for field work.
I would go for 16x for sure 😉
