Look for SS or SuperSniper reviews. You will find many not associated with this sight.

We all have other scopes besides the SS scopes. I have Leupold Mk4 Vortex Viper Trijicon Aimpoint. You asked for a value driven recomendation. I see nothing wrong with selecting a Vortex Viper. Some brands have very limited amount of internal adjustment others have a lot. There are scopes I would love to have like a Nightforce or a U.S. Optics but they are expensive so I understand you have a budget also. Seriously if you want to select a different brand it's not like it makes any difference to me. The Vortex Viper scopes seem to me to be a good value with a better than average warranty. I could take this Leupold and do anything I needed to do with it.

Some of the folks here may seem biased toward the SS scopes. The reason is the SS line are very a good quality for the price, which makes them a good value. I read other firearms forums too. Some of the members here are optics industry experts (not me). The advice that we get from them is vastly more valuable than opinions/advice I see posted on some of the other forums.

Reddit is a place where SWFA is recommended. They're not sold in local walmarts, that's why they're not super well known outside of youtube and a few forums. But of those that do own them, they seem to love them. I don't have any currently, but when I get another rifle that needs glass it will be an SWFA scope. |

I believe some of the Sniper's Hide reviews of SS scopes are still available… they always spoke highly of SS quality, toughness, utility, value…
I have the 10xHD. Very likely the best 10x scope I have ever used. I would/will match it against any "equivalent" style scope. I've had "hands on" with a number of SS scopes. Don't believe there is a better value out there anywhere in the rifle scope world. I have friends who introduced me to Super Snper scopes years ago… they don't use anything else. I have USOptics, Hensoldt (that my wife gave me), Zeiss Diavari, Kahles, Burris, NIkon, Zeiss Conquest, Pentax, Swift, Leatherwood, Weaver, etc. scopes. Except for the Hensoldt, I don't personally value any of them over the 10xHD. SS/Super Sniper scopes are premium value… quality/reliability/precision vs price. Yes, we like them… so does any honest person who uses one.

I ended up purchasing a Vortex PST 6-24x50mm. I paid $1021 CDN total instead of $1200 CDN. So I am happy. I hear its a great scope backed wit ha great warranty.

I bet you'll like it. I have both the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 and the SWFA SS 3-9x42. Both are great scopes for what I use them for. Best of luck in learning this most worthy of endeavors.
