Has anyone delt with Swifts pistol scopes and if so whats your take on them.
Im curious if they are anything like Burris or Leupold as far as clear glass etc.....
I would also like to know what kinda reticle they have.

I don't know about the swift but here is another one I'm curious about. I like the reticle but I wish they offered it in a higher power. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/313831/...-reticle-silver

only a swift 4x. seems like a decent cheap scope to me. havn't hunted with this one, but it is satisfactory at the range. i have a 2x7 burris that will replace it, but i could use it if needed.
Kentucky….no place like home.

I bought a Swift on sale after two pages of praise from E Arthur Brown. I never got it sighted in before blowing the whole insides to dust.
The replacement went on my Mark II.

I had one on mt Contender which was a .375 Win. bl. That was back in 1993. It was in 2.5x. I liked it very much. Don't know about them now.

I have one and like it fine and it's holding up so far. I had it on my 300Win Encore last year when I shot my bull,didn't even take it off 2.5x and it was 253yds. I just put it on my 454 to see how I like it on there.

I have a 4x32. It has been a good one so far. I don't know how old it is as it came mounted on a SBH I traded for. I've put about 500 rds of 30/30 through my contender with it on top and haven't had a problem. It has alot of parralax at close ranges but most of the handgun scopes I have tried do. It is hard to see game in low light but I haven't shot a leupold in low light to compare
