My new GenII replaced a well worn, well known 20 year old SWFA SS 10X40. But then I bought a Howa Rimfire and started shooting competition.
The GenII mounted is possibly the biggest part of my rifle. I had to trade my Weaver mounts for a Pic to use the silky-sexy rings that I ordered with the scope. Normally I use Weaver Tactical (tactic00l!1!1!1!1! - woot -. Lol) 6 screw, but the OEMs were Beau.Ti.Ful
My groups sucked. The fell from competition precision to out of the box good. This is a rifle that has 6000 rounds through it, all .22lr subsonic. WTH?!?
ACTION TUNING. I had to step back 10,000 feet to see it. So I went out this morning and want scream:. I NOW LOVE THIS SCOPE!
It took two weeks to overcome my bias and discover the real issue, but...
50 yards outdoor
Light Variable Breeze
Howa 1100, front bipod rear bag
SK Rifle Match

Where We Started, then
After tuning Where We Are
Then: DOPE is good at 75
Then: DOPE is good at 100
Then: Ringing those gongs at 200 20/20. Even over that grass.
Recently, I replaced my 20-year-old SWFA scope, and the difference is incredible! The advancements in technology over the years are so noticeable—better clarity, improved precision, and overall ease of use. It feels like an upgrade that was long overdue. And speaking of upgrades, I've also been exploring some new online entertainment options, like https://rocketplay16.net/, which has been a fun addition to my downtime. Sometimes, a fresh change is exactly what’s needed to keep things exciting!
