The SWFA scope can not be warranted like the Burris. They offer a transferable no hassle lifetime warranty. How long has SWFA been around? I want to pass this rifle to my son when I die.

Wade was trying to trade in a scope on a new scope for his 22 after the match on Saturday and then yesterday texted and said apparently Skylar doesn't work for SWFA anymore. I said Really? he never text me back he is terrible at texting LOL.

This scope is much better than that Burris
Pass on those Barret Rings. I would go Seekins. Lows or mediums. I believe the SWFA scope is 30 mm
Call Skylar Saw your edit.. I agree the SWFA 5-20HD Demos for 899 would be what I got, They come with sun shade, flip caps, and bubble level. Hell of a deal. I personally like the reticle in the Burris better than the SWFA, but the other pros out weigh the reticle. Again, don't think Skylar works there anymore. He did last week... Nope, he left in May.

I have not mounted one on a 10/22, but mounted this exact same scope on this exact same rail with the Seekins 1.00 height rings on my 6.5CM with heavy barrel. Fits perfectly with a couple of mm under the objective bell.
Seekins has 4 different sizes 0.92, 1.00, 1.26, and 1.45 in that order I'd say low, medium, high, and ultra high. I think the rings you have in your cart will be way too high.
Looks like Badger Ordnance makes a 1.00 size and its just labeled as "Standard" Yes I have Kyle’s old scope, no I’m not wanting to sell it right now. I bought the same Selina rings that Kyle used and a EGW 20MOA BASE, works perfect on the 10/22. Buy with confidence

SWFA has some HD scopes on sale on sample. Much better than that Burris
How so? And for real precise work, the SCR-Mil is in fact a better reticle. .2 Mil hash as opposed to .5 Mil in the SS. I recommended the SS and the Burris to Cast, either one would be a good buy. My SS is 7 years old and has never broke down. I'll never sell it. But, one day I will be buying a Burris 3-15X to put on my LR-308 same as I did when I had a Burris on loan from Corporate for a year. It didn't let me down one time.

SWFA has a 100% no fault lifetime no paper trail required warranty that they are well know for. They’re also known for not needing their warranty. Testing by a DOD employee after hundreds of thousands of rounds through their scopes shows they are only equaled by night force and surpassed by no one for reliability and accurate tracking. The HD versions also have very nice glass. I’m speaking of the 10xHD and 5-20HD. The 3-9HD is an excellent scope as well but the glass is not quiet as good as the other two.

Yes, larger tubes are for more elevation. I haven’t looked but does one of those scope have more available travel than the other? I do know the SS will get you way way (<scientific numbers) out there.

Ok I did my half of the homework, the SS has 30 mils of elevation. With a 20 moa rail that’s “way way” out there.
For reference my 7-08 is 10.1 mils of elevation for 1000 yards. That confirmed data.
If the Burris doesn’t have more elevation I’d say the 34mm tube is for fashion points.

I bet you can have the Demo from SWFA for around $800, and it's illuminated. Wonder if that guy would take 700 for his.
