SWFA 3-9x42 mil-quad

Having had and used both the SWFA 3-9x42 and the Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 2-12x42 extensively, the Athlon has the superior feature set. I should note that both scopes fit in the MVPO category making them ideal as DMR or Hunting type optics. They are perfect for 18" Barreled 5.56mm AR's, and short barreled hunting rigs (below 20" for example) , as are all the other scopes in the MVPO class.

Positives for the Athlon over the SWFA:

It has a better reticle (For large targets like game, steel plates and 2 legged varmints).
Illuminated Reticle
Wider field of View 55 ft @ 2x for the Athlon vs 33 ft @ 3x for the SWFA
Side Parallax Adjustment and adjustment down to 10 yds making it suitable for rimfires.
10 Mils per rotation vs 5 Mils for the SWFA
Zero Stop
Locking Turrets
Cheaper by about $200. or so depending of course on whether your a Leo or Mil or Veteran and/or time of year when sales are in full bloom. During those times there is little price difference to matter much.
From my perspective SWFA looks to be a declining enterprise, and it's long range viability is in some doubt.

Negatives for the Athlon compared to the SWFA:

The SWFA has finer reticle for target work. Though it must be said neither scope is designed for pure target work.
The SWFA is probably more rugged long term.
The SWFA is 5 oz lighter.
The SWFA has better eye relief 4.1" vs 3.6"
The SWFA use a 3x zoom range vs 6x in the Athlon. Some will say that this is simpler construction therefore better.
The SWFA is faster to the shot, as there is no side parallax you need to fiddle with ever.
The SWFA is not made in China.
I wouldn’t call them negatives, just trade offs. The SWFA is just a straightforward, no-frills scope.

Every Democrat supports Transvestiites over women....

I’ve said it a dozen times- women’s division and open division. Women’s division is like “production class.” Only “original equipment” allowed. Open division is, open. Porting, aftermarket mag wells, trigger jobs. The world is your oyster.
Nope, fuck them and their crazed ideology.
Stop here and now or we'll regret where it will lead.

Toll Road Scam

I saw a local news story on that. First, the NTTA, in our case, does not text you about unpaid fees. My boss has received one even though our NTTA account automatically draws from our company credit card.
No toll authority does to my knowledge. Plus, just look at the address on the link included in these texts. These are not .gov generated texts. Just people using VpNs.

sorry but you can blame all of that of Christian fanatics. they have consistently used the lethal police power of the state to force compliance with their "morality" programs. gov follows along to generate friendly votes. county i live in is still "dry" on Sunday. Jesus doesn't want you buying any whiskey on Sunday. you can still load up on beer and wine in conven and groc store,just not in a liquor store. and,you can still tank up on whiskey in a bar and drive your BA of 150 home in your car. keep the $ moving but make the fanatics happy. win,win for the county govs that play that game.
The religious fanatics may have started it but; bootleggers, and organized crime, and a web of LEOs and judges and lawyers and govt admins (all with their hands out) propagate it and continue to profit from it today.

What’s the difference between a Catholic and a Baptist?

A Catholic will say hi to you at the liquor store.

Why do liquor stores open at noon on Sunday?

So the Baptists can stop on the way home from church, and not make 2 trips.

Toll Road Scam

I think it’s less skimming and more mass sending. I’m in Wyoming and got one of the texts a week or something ago. Delete, mark as spam…
This. Most of this type of spamming, much like what happens here on SH when they can, is about volume. These are sent out by the millions by computer robo dialers using lists generated over years of online crawling and skimming. It’s organized crime by various state and wealthy criminal actors.

These aren’t usually the work of a college kid or bored housewife.

And- even with alcohol- institutionalized govt graft keeps “dry” counties chugging along.

yea and the head of sun pass is an appointed job with a huge salary. big payback/laundering tool. hate to admit it. i love Desantis but he is a politician,so,dirty by definition. he just seems to know what to do to stay powerful and important to middle class conservatives.
And at the same time has succeeded in turning a State that was in trouble into a powerhouse of commerce. A success story, albeit with its warts.
