I was pleasantly surprised by both how clear the glass is and how bright the green illumination is in this SwampFox LPVO 1-10x24. Mounts up nice with my new MidWest Industries QD offset mount. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an lpvo, especially that its priced less than comparable optics.
Would recommend: Yes

So far I really like my newest ar-15 addition, the time with my swampfox arrowhead 1x10 has been used mainly shooting 55gr 5.56 ammo, at ranges up to 200 yards, and its held perfect zero! The built in range holds are very near perfect for ball ammo, so I switched to the best ammo I have, 77 gr Sierra match king, and it didn't disappoint! Hitting sub moa at 200 yards using only the 200 yard hold over, no dialing in from my 100 yard zero, and all 5 shots landed within an inch circle. It did me a few shots to find where my 200 yard hold is on the reticle but once found its held true over 300 rounds so far. I love this scope, and hope this helps some people on the fence with purchasing a new companies products, but swampfox doesn't disappoint!
Pros:
- Clear glass, crisp adjustments, perfect hold overs
Cons:
- None
- None that I've seen, and with the warranty
Best Used for:
- Bench shooting, hunting, shooting sports
Would recommend: Yes

After reading many reviews about this scope I decided to try it. Mounted on my AR-15 away I went to the range. The pop up turrets are a joy to use. This scope is really amazing. Easy to use well built a bit of a tank. The glass is amazing as well. I have plenty of a rifles all with scopes this one is my favorite. I plan of buying another one..

I purchased the Tomahawk 1-6 for my first purchase. I feel in love with it and upgraded to the Arrowhead 1-10 Green BDC. Holds Zero on my AR 15. I bought another Arrowhead 1-10 for my AR-10. Works perfectly! The locking Turrets, Turret zeroing and clicks are amazing. The price is unbeatable. Can’t wait for the FFP LPVO upcoming, will defiantly upgrade on both riffles at that time.
Cons:
- Its Second Focal Plane only
Best Used for:
- All shooting, Targets, paper etc
Would recommend: Yes

I really want to like this scope, it's light, the dials are very nice and.. that's about where it ends.
The glass clarity isn't nearly as good as my Burris, and the 10x is a huge gimmick. Not that much different from 6x in terms of being able to "spot" things, but boy is it much more unforgiving than 6x.
The illumination came faulty, with multiple battery swaps still not fixing it. The illumination would randomly cut out when the gun was held certain ways, or if it was jostled even a bit. I don't know how QC didn't catch this - I returned the scope.
I'm not swearing off Swampfox, but this is really disappointing.
Cons:
- 10x isn't useful, illumination came broken
Would recommend: No

Mounted this on an AR-10, and it zeroed quickly and held its zero just fine. Glass was better than I expected, I would say it was comparable to Vortex Strike Eagle Glass, and it was accurate out to 500 yards on steel. It was windy today, and the reticle was helpful, and easy to use. I like the power on and off option in between each brightness setting, so you don't have to dial all the way up or down to get powered down. I also like the throw lever built in, and the scope caps with it. I prefer MIL over MOA, and was pleased with the reticle and focus as well. All it really needs it to come with some rings or a mount, and it would be 5 stars.

This is a well built rugged scope. No little turret screws parts are big and durable. The lock down Turrets unlock by pulling the turret away from scope and it locks into upper position allowing turret adjustment. They can lock while rotating cap to zero when zeroing rifles. Out of all the scopes I have used, this one optimizes Night Vision exceptionally well. With front mounted Night Vision the picture and brightness transferred amazingly. I have only put about 50 rounds through it with a suppressor so far so great. 1-10 power makes a super versatile package. I attached IR laser and the dot in the scope doesnt wash it out you can actually see the laser dot through crosshair dot. Includes a reticle training manual with some blank ballistics pages so you can custom fill in for your rounds and rifle. Cool Transfer stickers too lol:)

I wanted something with a little more mag power than my Nikon Blackforce 1000 (4X). Nikon glass sets a pretty high bar so I was looking forward to seeing the optics side by side. Both are 30mm tubes so my Burris AR mount stayed in the mix for the swap.
I have to say the glass in this scope is very good, I went with the MIL reticle in red and found the sighting process to be quick and easy, moving from 50 to 100 yards in about 5-6 rounds for 1"-2" groups in bench shooting. I'm shooting at 10X so exit pupil and eye relief are a factor, I prefer to shoot as close to the objective as I can so mount adjustment was critical. It's set up now, though and working great.
I liked the adjustment turrets a little better on my old Nikon, but for the money spent for 10X the Swampfox setup works just fine.
Pros:
- Good optics, solid build, price
Cons:
- Turrets have to be pulled off to re-zero
Would recommend: Yes

Very fine optic. The glass is clear and the eye relief is very good. I currently have it mounted on an Edgun rifle. The zoom from 1 to 10 is very smooth. I would put this up against my Vortex pst. The zeroing of the turrets 8s a piece of cake �
Best Used for:
- AR15 platform
- High end PCP

I have been looking for a while to find a budget optic with quality. I finally found it in the Swampfox 1-10x24. After watching hundreds of reviews and articles on LPVOs I settled on this one. I am not disappointed. The glass quality is great it was very close to true right out of the box. Installation was simple with the Swampfox cantilever I paired it with. Absolutely love this optic.
