A: SWFA SS 10x42
B: Leupold VX-II 3-9x50 Would top a Remington 700 SPS 7mm mag I can get either for same price. Mainly for hunting and some target shooting. Which would you choose? |

Would normally say SWFA as I love them.
But the variable will most likely suite your needs better on a hunting rifle. |

My vote would be for the Leupold. I have had a few for years and they have always performed flawlessly. That being said I do not have first hand experience w/ the SWFA so my opinion is lopsided.

Get the Leupie.
The SWFA is a good scope, but it's too damn heavy and limited in utility for a hunting rig. Planning on whacking critters at long range is one thing, but finding yourself confronted with the trophy of a lifetime 40yds away...and all you can see in the narrow field of view is hair, is the reality of it. |
