So do you think that SWFA will have another promo for tax day this year? I haven't seen a thread this long since seeing posts on what brand truck do you prefer. Sounds like the scope is worth it, sorry to hear about the issues in getting them.
There have been some rumblings about another scope all ready in production. SWFA is not going to start any promos until they have stock in hand, as the complaining about waiting for the SS 1-6 was so excessive. There is a good chance the next promo will be something like a 3-12x42 or 3-15x44. There have been slight hints that this is what they have been working on.
Just received my 1-6. So far this thing appears to be kick ass.
(Purchased mine from a individual)
hope u got it for a fair price. still a little jealous that u were able to buy one before i got my pre-order. lol.
I have spent a few weeks with the 1-6x now. It's mounted in a LaRue mount. Put it on my 18" 3-gun rifle and was able to zero, shitty day to zero with high winds but got it done. Swapped it to my 18" 7.62 OBR and took it hog hunting. Here are my thoughts so far.
The reticule on 1x is great and fast in all but the brightest conditions in TX. On 4x it's cluttered and slow in all conditions. In low light or dark with an external light source the scope and illumination do well. Especially when spotlighting for pigs! In low light with no external light source the scope dims quickly to my eye. No doubt due to the small objective, not a flaw in the scope as far as I'm concerned.
The turrets are nice but the covers feel a little too big. Again, that's a personal preference thing. The magnification ring is a little tight still, looking forward to a cat tail.
Just wondering if anyone who got in on this at 10,000 likes for the two scope deal has received their 1-6 yet.
Yeah, LT104
I was in on the 10k deal
How would you say it compares to the Bobro "slightly forward" mount?
No idea, I have never used the bobro. Having recently purchased a 34mm bobro mount I will not be buying LT mounts again. They are likely sufficient for 5.56 stuff, but the bobro seems higher quality.
sooooo if I placed my order for a 5-20 2-3 days ago and just saw this now....too late?
This reticle is the cats ass.
I've been saying cat's ass for yrs, lol.That's nasty, don't you mean the cat's meow?
Word on Optics Talk is the 1-4 throw lever is very close but not proper. No word on 1-6 specific one yet.Any word on the 1-6 specific throwlever?
Well, my 1-6 is inbound. My credit card transaction failed because since the order was placed IT EXPIRED!!! Never would have guessed that when I placed my order right when the 10,000 likes code was released.
Glad we got it settled and the scope is on its way. Can't wait.
Just got the e-mail as well. Order #190697 has shipped...
^ I'm thinking I'll just get the one for SS 1-4. Guys are saying it works fine.
There was a thread some months ago from a guy who machines and finishes them for various model scopes. I wish I could remember who. He probably doesn't make it for SS 1-6 yet anyway.
This reticle is the cats ass.
What distance did you shoot this at ? Thanks for info.
Just got the call today (credit card issue)...order 190700. Sweet Jeeeezus, it is finally on its way! I'm thinking it should be here by the weekend...which of course has now changed my weekend plans. I hope my arriving in-laws won't mind
I'm in the same boat, how did they handle it? Call? Email?
Yes, the center reticle dot @ 6x just about covers a 1" round dot @ 100 yards.
