A couple of years ago a friend that owns a local gun shop turned me on to Swift scopes. I was there looking to pick up a Leupold for one of my handguns and he suggested the Swift instead. Now I’m a Leupold man through and through and I wasn’t real crazy about trying some new scope that costs half as much as the Leupold but Leroy promised me that if I had any problems with it I could bring it back and he would refund my money. Well that was a few years ago and I’ve never had a single problem with the Swifts (I have three now). Since then I have recommended the Swift to a couple of friends that don’t want to spend as much as the Leupolds cost and both are very happy with them too. The Swift has clear optics, the adjustments work well, and it holds it’s zero well through it’s adjustments.

Am I still a Leupold man? Very much so, but when I can’t justify the cost of a Leupold I turn to Swift.
