SWFA Upgrades Scopes To Gen 2 Models
SWFA’s venerable line of scopes has been upgraded to a new Gen 2 standard. The biggest news is the addition of a zero stop, and a modular turret system. Let’s check out the rest of the new features.

SWFA is best known for its fixed-power scopes, and most of the Gen 2 family is made up of fixed-power models. Options include 10×42, 12×42, 16×42, and 20×42 models, each available with MRAD or MOA reticles (and matching turrets). SWFA added a zero stop feature to the turrets so it is easy to dial back down to the starting point without accidentally going past zero by a full revolution.
The other big change is the turret system. Both the windage and elevation turrets have multiple options, including target turrets, lower profile turrets, and caps that can cover the low profile turrets. End users can run with any combination of turret options, so a capped windage turret and uncapped elevation target turret is an option. SWFA updated the font on the turrets as well, and the numbers for the first revolution are much larger than the numbers for the second elevation revolution.
All fixed-power models retail for $349.
The Gen 2 series is not limited to the fixed-power scopes, though. The 3-15×42 FFP Gen 2 has an MSRP of $749. It incorporates all of the upgrades seen on the fixed-power models.
