If it is genuinely for tactical use, no; if it is going on a 300UM, no!

When it comes to tac scopes, there is more to the equation than glass - and if it is a really heavy hitter, Swaro American ain't the way to go.

Having said that, I own a Swaro American and it is a great hunting scope, great glass; but I do not and would not mount them on my tac guns.

If you have that kinda $$ to drop, get the S&B or USO - or maybe even IOR 3-18; there are real differences between hunting scopes and tactical scopes.  If you need tactical, hunters don't fit the bill.

Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.
