    Yes, it's the standard rear parallax SWFA 10x 42. I have a 10x on the Mark II and a 12x on the .308 FCP.

    Basic, but optically very good and solid all around.

    I've never owned a fixed 10x scope. My current one on the b22 is a cheap $30 amazon 6-24x that i had from a rifle trade. It works, holds zero, the turrets some times done work lol. It works ok but lives on 10x as that seems to be just right for the varminting that i use it for. Seen the SWFA on one of Cyclops Videos Joe W Rhea reviews. Seems perfect for 50-200 yard varminting. Really leaning towards ordering 2 of them. Not sure if the side focus is worth the extra $100 over the rear focus or not. They look like quality glass for basic rifles.

    I considered the side focus, which I would like better, but I don't think there is any other difference. The $100 additional on a $300 scope kinda sealed it for me. They do make a HD version as well, which some say is better and others say is not.

    I don't think you would be disappointed with the standard model.
