I have a SS SWFA 3-15 and its a decent scope but its getting a little long in the tooth. Its been around forever and its starting to look dated compared to a lot of the newer scopes.
Have one of Athlon Midas TACs too and its much nicer for the money.

Better glass, more power, larger objective, better illuminated Christmas tree style reticle, I think it may even have better turrets and internals. Time will tell if its as robust.
If you go with the Athlon Midas, just make sure its one of the TAC models, they have the higher quality turrets and adjustments.
You may find it cheaper elsewhere that just popped up first when I was looking for one for sale.
The one upside to the SS, its got a long track record, the Athlons are still in the infant stage compared to the Super Snipers.
Again, nothing wrong with the SS in that price range but, I think the Athlon is a better value right now.
