Swift scopes

[bronko220002]

Don't know where it came from but I found a Swift 3-9X scope tucked away in my cabinet still wrapped in bubble wrap!
I have nothing to put it on but it is crystal clear. Just wondering how the quality is.

They made 2 mains series. The Reliant from the Philippines and the Premier from Japan then Korea. I have a Korean made 2-7x40WA Premier and other than the short eye relief its held up fine. They made a tactical model or two also.....I think those were also made in Korea. Same plant makes some of the newer Bushnells. Su Optics iirc.

Japanese and Korean made had US made Bak7 glass in them too.

I have a 2-6x Swift Premier pistol scope that one of these days I'll put on one of my Optima Pistols. Optics are bright and power adjustment works well. Just don't know how reliable/rugged they are. Premier have/had a small red band around the front optic.

No red band on this one. I guess I can always put it on a .22 or give it to some kid that needs one.

If for sale, I will take it......if the price is right and it has the big adjustable focus.

I guess I should say a wider range of focus.

Assume you mean wider field of view.

I had one of their wide scopes on order from Optics planet for well over a year 3 years or so back. I think it was nearly a year and half in I pulled the plug and have tried to stay away from OP since as well. Can't tell me how many assurances I had that my order was tops on the list and it was just a month or so away I got before I finally gave up.

Swift used to have good rep for binocs and scopes. Not sure if that's warranted anymore. Kind of went the Redfield way i think.

No need for a new scope though have a Leupold ultimate slam scope coming soon.

I have several swift and happy with all. If its for sale bronko I would help you part with it.
