For the money, they are the best value in scopes out there, in my opinion. I am slowly replacing all my scopes with Swifts...I am sick of sending leupolds back for repair. The best thing about Swift is that if the scope goes bad, just take it back to a Swift dealer and exchange it for a new one. No shipping it back and waiting for a month to get it back. The Swift Premiere line is as clear as the mid range Leupolds are, a bit cheaper and a BETTER warrenty.
