This may have just stolen some of my money from Vortex...

3-15 will fit quite nicely in the grand scheme.

I might need one.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Figured it would be something like that...fills a hole in the line as well as providing about the best mag range. I'm hoping with the 42 mm objective that it is a bit shorter than most 3-15s and lighter.
Reaction time is a factor...

There is no HD marking, so I'll assume the glass is similar to the SS 3-9?  No complaints, just an observation.  Really waiting on the price for this one.  May unload my 1-6 for this instead....... whenever it ships.

I am wagering it fits into the classic line up.   That will be awesome, a 3-15x variable for I dare be a super good price.  If it has the 3-9x glass quality that would be a big bonus.

I am so glad it is a 3-15x vs the 4-16x.  Good job SWFA.  Excellent

I've got an email form SWFA that says the 3-9 uses the same glass as all the HD models.

But will the 3-15 have HD glass?

If your 1-6 is a SWFA, I would be interested in it.
