Default Swift scopes

Anyone used these scopes? I'm looking at the 2x7x40 Premier. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Scott Woody

Scott,

I have a 3x9 Swift on my slug gun, its a great scope. I would say for the cost you can't beat em'. They have a really clean crisp veiw and are very durable (im alittle rough on my guns [&:]). I've got nothin bad to say about em'.

Thanks PA TrophyMan!!!! I found a site that sells them and they claim that they are as good or almost as good as Leupold. Is that even close or way off? By the way, my plant manager went to PA a couple of weekends ago and killed a 8 point that had a green score of 180!!!! It had an inside spread of 29*3/4". I saw the actual rack. It was huge!!!!! His brother also killed a 18 point non-typical that green scored 170 before deductions. I only saw a pic. of that rack. Thanks, Scott Woody

I have a Swift 3x9 on my 280. I have a luepold 3x9 on my 257 Roberts. After a couple years of using both of them I can't see any practicle difference. The Lueplod was 220 and the Swift was 119.

I stand corrected. The 18 pointer scores 179. I saw that rack today. He is going to give me a pic of it.
