SWFA SS 1-4x24 Tactical vs. Vortex PST 1-4x24

[austinN4]

Im looking at the classic... Would love the HD however it is outside my budget.

And the Vortex PST isn't? Unless I looked up the wrong models, the SWFA classic lists for $399.95 and weighs 14.1 oz.

The Vortex Viper PST lists for $649 and weighs 16.2 oz.

The Vortex Crossfire II lists for $319 and weighs 16 oz.

My budget is between $400 and $500 the HD lines on both companies are above that.

Given the price point of $400 and the lower weight, the SWFA looks like a winner to me.

That was my thought as well

Militant83,

great post...I am in the same boat. I had focused on the Vortex 1-4 but now the SWFA is in the mix.

Have you made a decision with your mount?

going QD High Mount?

thanks in advance

Haven't put a ton of thought in the mount yet..but so far on the radar is the American Defense Recon (not sure what model) and the SWFA Precision Optic Mount which I believe is made for SWFA by Bobro.

I have AD mounts, but Bobro makes good stuff. I might go for a package deal (if one exists) at SWFA.

They offer a package deal with their cheaper SSALT mount but not with the precision mount

It might be worth asking for a package price with the Bobro. All they can do is say no.
