I don't mean this to sound like a negative post about this scope in anyway as it's not. This scope has been great, it tracks wonderfully, and seems very durable. However, I think I must be the only guy in the world that has a SWFA SS 3-9x42 that's eyes don't work with the glass.
How close is it in focus for you guys? I've found at 50 yards, it's just really out of focus looking, and it's pretty hard to see bullet holes on any of the higher powers. At 100 yards it's focused better, but it's still hard to see bullet holes with it on 9x as it just doesn't look clear like it should to me. I can't see bullet holes that I can see fine with my other scopes. It also has slight distortion around the edges. Honestly, I'm at a loss as my Burris FFII's and Nikon Monarchs I have on my other rifles blow the glass in this thing away, and from what I've read it should definitely be the other way around. I want to make sure that I'm not missing something simple on here. I used the rear eye piece focus to focus the reticle like normal. Being this is going to be on my rifle I'm going to use hunting it kind of worries me as the season starts in 2 weeks, and I'm kind of worried about how it will do in the field.
Does yours focus at 50 yards, or is it out of focus at that close range? At 100 yards, it's not nearly as bad, but it's still not what I expected. Is there anything I'm missing here?
