Dropped folks at SS an email yesterday. Saturday mind you. I asked them if they were gonna offer their 20x in mil/mil setup. Had interest in one of these for my barrett.got a return email within a couple hrs . I know this was just a simple email question sent on a saturday. But their reply spoke VOLUMES to me on how they handle their company. And yes they are gonna offer several more models in mil/mil including the fixed 20x.

Sounds great. Their standard Super Sniper 10x with mil/mil adjustments would be the absolute standard in entry-level tactical optics. As it is, the 1/4" adjustments aren't hurting its claim to the title all that much, but I have seen the mil/mil light and cannot go back.

Wow good news, that SS 10x at 299 with a mil/mil option would totally slaughter the budget optic market. My savage fv-sr is going to have to wait a little bit longer for some glass now...

Re: a word on supersniper

I could use an affordable scope for my PSS right now, as all my funds went to finishing my SPR. The 10x42SS has been on my list of optics to consider, but I the mil/moa bugs me a little. I know I could adjust, but my goal is to stick with mil/mil now that I've had a taste of it. If SWFA released the "lower-end" 10x SS scopes with mil/mil turrets, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat!

Re: a word on supersniper

Kind of off topic but I had a similar experience with another vendor over the weekend. They're not a sponsor here so I won't mention names but I emailed them with a question about some molle on Saturday night at 10:20pm their time and had a response emailed via iphone at 10:46pm.

Even though they didn't have exactly what I needed I placed an order immediately. CS can't get much better than that, IMO. It's nice when a company makes every customer feel important.

Hope SWFA releases more mil/mil setups. If you get one before me, post a range report.

Re: a word on supersniper

I am pretty excited to try the SS line with the MQ reticle and mil/mil. I am waiting on the 5x20 for my GAP, but I think I am going to order a 10x42MQ for my LTR.

Judging by all the positive reviews of the new HD Line I really don't think I could go wrong for $799. I just wish I could get this model in the SS package deal.

+100

It would be extremely nice to have a quality, value priced 10x with mil/mil, adjustable parallax, and a 30mm tube. They would make a killing in the entry level market.

Re: a word on supersniper

At some point you become competition for yourself. The 10x HD is already going to take a hard beating from the 5-20SS, and the mil/mil feature is one of the few "hard" features the HD has going for it. Resolution may indeed be superior, but the benefits of resolution are somewhat subjective.

Now, if they made an illuminated 3-9 or lower-end fixed scopes they would sell tons of them. I think an illuminated 10x with mil/mil adjustments for $450-500 and a 3-9 illuminated for $700-750 would kick ass, too. But since they are their only distributor, I think they are expanding the line slowly and with great consideration.

And that would be the problem- it would hurt the HD line of scopes sales!

I understand what you’re saying about the issue. However let me explain my opinion.

Probably not. People always want better glass. It would be the same as starting out on the Bushnell 3200 fixed 10x Mil/Mil. While this might be enough to get you started into long range shooting I believe we can all testify that we keep buying better equipment when the finances are available. Having a non HD fixed 10x or 16x Mil/Mil would get people started into long range shooting with a solid scope and company. This would also equal that same person coming back to SWFA when it's time to upgrade their optic choosing to stay with the SS series of scopes. JMO on the issue.

I would probably end up phasing out the fixed powered Mil/Moa scopes from the product line. Again JMO.

Well maybe. But I placed an order for 10x42 and the second I found out it wasn't mil/mil or moa/moa, i canceled and ordered the HD. That's just my personal story. Would I have gotten the HD after that, who knows. But I am one customer that would not have bought the HD if the nonHD version came with matching reticle/turrets.

Minute of Angle and Milliradian are both angular measurements, neither are metric and neither are standard (inches). If you can make your brain stop having to apply a linear measurement to the adjustments you will be okay.
