Fotis,
Why don't you just open a store? Then you could make money with your obsession.... :>)

The Nightforce scope should hold together for you on the .378 Weatherby monster!

Fotis - re the SWFA scope - years ago a buddy of mine really impressed me with his SWFA fixed 10x Super Sniper. It was quite a scope, particularly considering the budget price! One thing that he found was that the windage and elevation adjustments worked MUCH better after he'd gone in and cleaned the fairly heavy grease from them, replacing the grease with a very light lube. Then the "clicks" were much more positive.
I don't know if that's still the case with the newer SWFA SS scopes. I do know that he did real well in competition with his, and kept it as a "backup" scope for his competition rifles for a long time. Heck, he may still have it.
Re the Nightforce, that's one model I've been very interested in for some time, but I've never messed with one. Looked like a good way to get Nightforce quality in a scope that would serve very well on a hunting rifle. Please give us a detailed report when you can. Particularly interested in how well it does, or doesn't do, in low-light scenarios, and if you're able to get sufficient eye/forehead relief from prone, with a heavy-kicking rifle...
Regards, Guy

I am telling you if it does not then I am totally done with it. I will sell it to someone who is happy with a leupold 6x36 on it or a m8 4 power. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
These are the ones that all the others are running on the 378's.
Guy I will.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the NIghtforce.. I hate big scopes but that's "big scope" features in a small scope package.
Seems heavy for it's size but that's why the rifle is so light...

NF should be here today!
Will mount on 378. Already mounted Warne Steel bases and rings. Lapped the rings this past weekend.

Not sure. I know the compacts came out this year.
