Reviews & Ratings for Swift Premier Waterproof 3-9x40 Rifle Scopes — 10 reviews — Page 1

I bought the SWIFT 3 x 9 40 mm wide angle waterproof model SR 6565. Not a bad scope for the price and for lite duty. Called WATERPROOF, it IS NOT,
I had it mounted on my Ruger 10-22 and it usually states behind my front door. I have no children and live in the country. I got caught out in the rain on a squirrel hunt. It fogged internally overnite.

This scope is well worth the price. Good clear glass and solid smooth controls. Do not hesitate to buy this for most regular applications where a solid scope is desired. Just about as good as most anyone needs for hunting, and light weight, too.

For the money Swift 3-9x is excellent value. Clear, sharp image easy to focus. Scope adjustment is easy and repeatable. I have dealt with Swift Company directly On other scopes, and they stand behind their product without hesitation. Wish the 4-12x was available again. OpticPlanet are easy to deal with and ship time quick. Return process if needed is simple.

I have two of these and two other model Swift scopes. Bought my first premier 3 x 9 x 40 nine years ago. Scope has seen a lot of range time and many Wisconsin deer hunts. Scope has very good clarity and passed an initial box test with out any issues. One of the best things about this model is the large sight picture, clear image and very good field of view. The large sight picture is great for target acquisition on moving targets. The eye relief is just long enough for rifles with heavier recoil. In my opinion a .300 Win Mag would be about it for this eye relief distance. Anything larger and you might get hit. Scope is tough and light for its size (13 oz.). This Scope is short enough for a compact rifle and rifles where you want to retain a the original open sights. Recently purchased my second one of these for a compact bolt action .243. I can buy any scope I want but chose another one of these. Cant get all of these features in any scope I could find for even twice the price. Go to a gun store and look through them all, you'll see what I mean!

One of the best scopes I have ever used, when facing the setting sun it is clear with no haze this is where my weaver, leupold and red field fail me. For the price of this scope you are not going to get a better scope.

Excellent Riflescope for the money. Very clear optics with very good light transmision. Good feild of view at min and max magnification. Fog proof at extreem temps, (-10 deg F). Hods zero after 100+ rounds so far. Passed initail box test.
Pros: Light, Durable, Excellent Light Transmision.
Cons: none so far.

I have had my Swift scope for about 8 years, and I am still amazed by it, that is why 8 years later I am now writing a review. The optics in this scope are amazingly clear and bright. My brother has always had Leupold, and every time he looks at my rifle, he always comment on my scope. There is no doubt in my mind about the craftsmanship with Swift.
Pros: Visability, brightness, durability, no fog
Cons: zoom dial is a little stiff in colder weather

worked well for my 243
Pros: good value for the money
