Any one have personal experience with Swift brand scopes?
good/bad etc.

Thanks in advance

I bought a cheap one and put it on my muzzleloader. It was worthless. Changed settings, everytime I shot. The adjustments would get you a 1/4 inch one time and 2 inches the next time for one click. I may have had the only lemon they ever made but I'll not own another one.

Hello Rockytop
I think I am going to take your word on it. I doubt you
bought the only lemon they ever made. Thank you for the
info. I guess I will spring for another Leupold.

They are a decent scope.

I have had no problems with mine. It isn't the clearest scope but for the money and type of hunting I do its a good scope. Also the shop where I bought it said if I ever have a problem with it just bring it in and they replace it no questions asked.

Hello larryh
I ordered swift's brochure hope to get it yet this week.
Thank you for the info

I have a black composite stock 22 mag w/ stainless steel barrel and I bought a Swift 3x9x40 silver scope to go on it.

It has worked great for me. I have been using it to kill my garden eating rabbits the past few years.

Thw shop where I bought it also told me that if I had any problems that I could bring it back and they would replace it right over the counter.

Thankfully I haven't had any problems because that shop went out of business <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hello Pork Chop
Thank you. Sounds like a nice deal you have.
Protecting the garden , a little hunting and you dont have to leave the porch.
Thanks Mike

I use a Swift 6-18x44 model 669M on a .300 Mag and have had absolutely no problems with it. I even have (I feel stupid admitting this) dropped it and still got a doe that morning. And as mentioned above, it came with a 100% satisfaction guarentee from the factory.

Sorry, I forgot to mention one of the reasons I bought it...they been making scopes since 1926!!!
