Yes. They are decent scopes. I have owned two, a 2x7x40 and a 3x9x40. Cabela's lists the 3x9 for $139 and it carries a limited lifetime warranty. Here is their website. www.swift-optics.com

I like my Premier 3-9x40. I've been a Swift bino user for the past 12 years and have nothing but praise for the company. Since my Swift Audobon 8.5x44 binos have been so great I decided to try one of their rifle scopes. Inexpensive without being cheap. Solidly built, clear to the edges, decent FOV, rugged. A great companion to my H&R .308- both inexpensive without being cheap.

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.

I'll give you two fine, resonably priced scopes. Sightron and Swift. Bought a Swift a few years ago off E-bay for a great price. When I went to get it mounted, I found a problem with the scope. I called Swift and in 2 weeks had a brand new scope. Gathers light about like my low end Leupolds. I would buy another with out a thought. Their products are a great value. Larry

I have a Swift 3x9x40 on my 280. Its been on there for three years and has performed very well. I think I paid 99.00 for it about four years ago. I sure would not hesitate to purchase another on.
