I have heard that the premier line is good bang for the buck, but haven't had a chance to try out any swift rifle scopes. I do own some Swift binoculars though and have been more than pleased with them.

Bought a 1X for a MLer because our laws would allow no powered optics. The reticle broke inside the scope when the scope was new. Took it back and had it replaced but, I was sort of dulled out for all of the wasted range time and cleaning I had done. The second scope held up fine. One year later they allowed us to go to magnifing optics so I replaced it. Still like new sitting in the cabinet.

Only experience I've had w/ Swift. I would imagine they'd be as good as a Tasco or the like.

I've used Swift scopes for years and have had very good luck with them. I stay with the "Premier" line of Swifts. They have just came out with a new propriety lense coating called (SRP). I am curious to hear some feedback on these new models.

as good as a tasco, i'd say a 100 times better then any tasco ever made.

My son has a Swift Premiere on a 22-250 in, I believe, 4-14X. It holds its zero well but the clarity is just not there at the higher magnification. He wishes he would have saved more money and bought higher end glass for it.

I have three 3-9's and a 4.5-14 Swift at present. For the money, I think they are one of the best values going. They have a no fault warrenty that I will report on shortly, as my dad is sending one in for an adjustment problem.

Bushnell is a better buy for the money

Swift Premier scopes are all I use on my Savage rifles. Great inexpensive scopes for great inexpensive rifles. The only Bushnell scope that I consider to be better than a Swift Premier is the Elite line of scopes.
