larger then say on Bushy Elites.

These SS scopes are nice scopes though. Glass wise very close to Elite 3200 line (same place factory builds both)

rear focus is a nice feature too. Not as good as a side focus scope but still works well.

They sure are better (have better glass, then Leapers and the rest of China scopes, also the weight on SS scopes is very impressive. They are lightweight for a 30mm scopes also the legth with build in sunshade is just right too.

For the money they are a pretty good deal. The reticle dots sure thing could be smaller, that is why I sold mine. But keep in mind Tasco originally had these ordered for a military contract and in a combat situation large mil-dot in low light settings do better. But now SWFA could have definitely work on the reticle issue. If these things had a half mil-dot like Hawke or Falcons do it would be the best deal for $300 on a Japanese scope.

p.s. Well I think they just put out them with the Mil-Quad Reticle. Awesome all I can say

Who has **** 20x42 30mm tactical scope with mil-dots? When I look at the sample reticle shown on their website the dots look huge.
How do they compare to a Bushnell or a Leapers mil-dot scope. Are they as large as a Simmons 44mag mil-dot reticle?

I also see they will be offering these same scopes with the mil-quad reticle... MRAD scopes, any input on this style reticle?

I have 10x42RF, 10x42SF, and 16x42RF scopes from SWFA. Rear focus is just what it is - rear focus. RF models have less moving parts than SF models hence they are, mechanically, tougher.

20x model does have larger dots because it's a 20x mildot, not a true 10x like on some Bushnells and Leapers. On 10x42 models, the mildot is at true 10 power and is very fine. It is thicker/larger on the 16x model and even larger on 20x.
On fixed power scopes the reticle's size will be true for the power of that scope. On variable power scopes it will depend whether or not the reticle is in FFP or SFP. If you don't know what the difference is and what the FFP reticle is really for, I suggest you do your homework before telling that SWFA has some "reticle issues."

And before you jump into a MIL/MIL scope for an airgun, you need to know what MIL/MIL really is compared to MOA/MOA.

i thinking in buying one may be the fixed 10x42 rear parallax or the 6x42

about your scopes.

I meant that a rear focus scopes are not as confinement to use as a side focus scope. Nothing beats a side focus parallax adjustment.

That is why the 10X40M (military) model has it when Tasco had the contract with the marines some years back.

but again as nice as these scopes are they are not a Leupold either. But for the money they are a good deal that now got even better with new reticle systems that they have decided to use.
