Here is Trays7940's SSHD1-4x24TC mounted on his Winchester model 70 in .338 Win Mag. Dangerous game application. When your life counts on it durability and functionality is a must.

Hello,

Have read you have one and have had previous experience with the prototypes. Are you having any issues with your 1-4x SS ? Chris sent me one today and not sure what to say about it.

No issues with mine, everything works as it should.

I have it mounted but have not yet put rounds down range, that report will be coming shortly.



In what way are you not sure what to say about it?

Someone needs to put one on an AR-15.  We need to know if the ocular bell will clear a folded rear BUIS.

I don't see why it wouldn't.  It looks to be about the same size as the 3-9x model on the back end.  I have one of those on an AR-15 in a Larue LT104 and the Troy folded sight fits under it fine.

The swfa picture on the first page has it in a Bobro mount with plenty of clearance (not sure which BUIS they were using).
Better yet... someone needs to buy the capped version with the DOD reticle, then decide they dont want it and have swfa put it on the sample list so i can buy it discounted. Then ill post pictures for you.
A year ago i planned on buying the vortex PST 1-4 due to the price difference but after seeing how these SS 1-4 turned out i think i might have to save some more cash up (just have to hide it from the wife). Still curious on how the one with a BDC version would have turned out tho.

In the AD Recon mount, mine wouldn't clear the YHM BUIS.

It's a crappy pic, I'll get some decent ones up later today.

That will vary with every mount made but to be most effecitve it would need to be a quick detachable ringmount.

Just my honest opinion on these is that you wont' need back up sights as these are built to dang tough to break anywaysBucky

I am guessing that would depend on the specific BUIS and the mount.
