K3yston3I 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.

ReloaderBought 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.

31 bertramI'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.

LuckyduckerMy 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.

joe25/06I 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.

cjp45Swift 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.
