I got into precision/long range shooting about 7 years ago at which time I have
heard nothing but good things about the Super Sniper / SWFA SS line of scopes.
They have built a great reputation of being simple yet durable. The only thing
that has held me back from getting one was the lack of matching knobs and
reticle. Fast forward to 2012 and as we all know, SWFA began offering them with
.01 milrad knobs and an improved reticle over standard mil-dots, the milquad.
It should also be noted that the reticle subtended perfectly with my grid at 100 yards. That gave me confidence in the adjustments and reticle for future use at long range. FINAL THOUGHTS |

Welcome to Optics Talk.
Thank you for the informative review. Well done! I have the 12x model and though I haven't spent the time behind it like I have my old SS 10x Mil Dot, it's really starting to grow on me.

dk-1,
Would you be willing to share the instructions and measurements of how to duplicate the poster board you made?
I decided to get back into shooting except using a bolt gun and scope versus iron sights and an auto loader and I think the poster may help me a lot on some concepts/understanding/relearning.
THX!!

1 mil= 3.6"@100 yards, or about 3.4 MOA.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
