Okay I am wanting to upgrade my 264 LBC. I don't want a variable scope this time so should I go for a 12x or 16x? I intend on shooting anywhere from 300yrd to 1000yrd.
The particular model is the swfa ss series

The particular model is the swfa ss series I would go with the 16 power. That is about the minimum I would use at 1000. You have got to be able to see the target clearly to hold for the wind. |

Well I w ent with a 12x. That way I can develop some loads and still see a goof field at short yardage(500 yards).

I shoot a lot of 4.4X14's and they do OK at distance. I am more comfortable with a 20 at 500 and beyound but I'm shooting mostly F-Class and want to see the X. Greg |

I think the 12 was a good call. I shoot a vortex razor that's 5-20 and I rarely use the upper 15-20 power limit due to target transitions and amplified mirage at the higher magnification powers. If you're looking to do single long range stationary targets then more power to ya--pun intended. But if your shooting involves near and far targets in rapid sequence, the lower powers can have a definite advantage. Congrats on the scope!

The particular model is the swfa ss series Those SWFA scopes are great scopes and good value I have a 10x42 on a CZ 527 in 204 ruger and it is great but I am using it on a 600 yard gun I would say the 12X would be a good choice because of the cartridge you are using 1000 yards is going to be its max You are probably not going to be shooting that much at 1000 yards 16X may be an issue at closer ranges Good choice in scopes though
