They seem to have great reviews online, Just wondering if anyone on here has one, and has anything to say about them. Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas!

I had one a few years back. "just as good as a Leopold" they told me.
Had it on my Tikka 300wsm. Spotted a nice buck (shooter) in the Swakane.
Raised the rifle, and the reticle fell over inside the scope.
Bought a Leopold for the hunting rifle, warranteed the Swift for use on other toys. Still don't like it.

I have a Swift that is almost 20 years old and it still holds true with no fogging. The quality of glass is terrible compared to stuff today but I have killed many deer and elk with it.

I had a new to me 700.00 leupold vx3 mil dot with illuminated reticle and was bragging to my hunting buddy about how nice it was. Well he looked through my scope then his swift premier and started laughing and said his scope was brighter (it was dusk). I didnt believe him at first but soon put my tail between my legs he was right. I now own one, no complaints here.

Yeah my new premier scope has help up well so far and is real bright, very impressed. Also it says on the box it has USA made Bak7 glass, which I thought was pretty cool.

If you're in that price range and perhaps willing to go just a bit higher you may want to consider Vortex Optics. Small Wisconsin company with a great rep, great products, really good prices, and a fantastic warranty. No, I don't work for Vortex.
