Any recommendations for a fixed-power scope somewhere in the 20-30x magnification range?  I can't even find a good list of the options in this space because everything's by manufacturer or power, and fixed-power scopes are few and far between!

At that price I probably don't deserve to ask, but I can't find any specs on coatings, fillings, or warranties.  I guess this is a white-label version of some other manufacturers?  (Sorry -- I'm obviously new to SWFA.)

Super Sniper is SWFA's own scope and is a tactical design and represents a good value priced option.   Sightron  20x is very nice glass
 
Leupold has some nice ones also

steer away from the SS20X it is not worth the money in my opinion you would be better served by the lower power SS which are superb....

LOOK FOR OLD LEUPOLDS or OLD REDFIELDS they are usually not as bright as the new scopes but are crystal clear have good contrast and they are very forgiving in eye relief and the ring seems to dissappear as you hold them to your liking... Brightness is not everything...(waiting for it...)
 
If you are lucky you can get one for under $300 and they are better than the newer pricer scopes mentioned...
No one
