Default Swift riflescopes?

Picked up a NIB 4X swift scope the other day for 40$ shipped. "reliant" line I think. I heard swift were decent scopes, so I figured for 40bucks, why not? its probably gonna go on a 223. if anyones got any opinions lemme know, thanks.

I've got a Swift Premier 4-12x40 from a few years back and it's a nice scope. Can't comment on your bargain. Hope it holds up for you.

I was led to Swift several years ago because of a pair of old binocs I own that are Swift,, nice glass for the cost, but they are quite a bit older and ya know how some stuff was made back then compared to now.

Don't have a Swift now, but have used them in the past and they were OK. You probably did good for $40.00.

There is a Smith / FFL dealer on NAHC that recommend swift for value optics.

Just plucked it out of the mailbox. korean made but looks pretty decent, and the glass looks clear enough, from what I can tell indoors. not too wavey or yellow. its dark and raining out now, so Ill have to see tomorrow.
