I posted the experience I had with the Swift scopes at first I thought their warrenty was a POS, but later it was corrected to my advantage, they were in the process of moving to Ca. from up east.  The long and short of it is they stand behind their scopes I sent them a 4x12 that I was having trouble with and they replaced it with a new 3x9, I sent them a letter explaining to them that a 3x9 wasnt what I sent them and the note they sent me stating the 4x12 I had was no longer in production, I finely got in touch with the supv. in the warrenty section and he said he would sent me a new upgraded 4x12 and for me to keep the 3x9 as a gift for the trouble they had caused me, both scopes are doing a excellent job on a couple of rifles as we speak. :grin:  :D    JIM

From my experience I wouldn't recommend Swift.  You can get a better scope for the money.

The Swift Premiers are excellent scopes for the money, not leupolds mind you, but they don't cost near as much, either. I have 3 of em, they are extremely clear edge to edge and offer great resolution and brightness. For the money they are hard to beat and their warranty is as good as it gets.

I bought 2 of them a while back. I was not happy with them and sold them. The eye relief is not good. I have switched to Leupold.  :D
