I went to Strait Shooter's site to read the specs on a Hawke SR 12 scope for sale on the classifieds, but before I got there I came across the Swift which caught myinterest.

I have an IA mount from Mac-1 to go on my Steroid 342 but any scope is going to have to be scout mounted to "pump it up" an notch or three.


"With a parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity this scope is highly adaptable and excellent for use as a target scope Elevation and windage adjustments are mounted full saddle on the hard, anodized 1" tube. Speed Focus adjustment brings you on target easily"


This is the part that has me going, "huh". I don't see any adjustable objective in the pictured scope.

The copy in the chart, contradict this but it also says

Power x Objective 4x32

Minimum Focus Distance 15 Yards

Weight (oz) 9.9

Length (in) 9.4

Finish Matte

Scope Caps Yes

Adjustment Method Screw !!?? Is this mystery how the parallax is adjustable?

Eye Relief 13.8" That's what I'm talkin' about!!!

MOA 1/4"

Reticle Type Duplex

Recoil Rating Light

Is this the scope I hoped but didn't think existed for only $95? Every pistol scope that I've found is non PA and set at 50 yards which is about double the range of most of the shooting I'd be doing at 15-30 yhards.

Other sites show the scope parallax set at 50 yds.

I couldn't translate but thanks for your reply.

And just corrected it now. I went on a wild goose chase at first in hope of a triumphant find on the scope I too have been hoping for. It simply looks like not much under $300 exists with eye relief like that with AO ... sad to say.

Tim

Do they know what they do to a guy running this bad info on their site(which some consider the gold standard" for good info)?

Hopefully they will make the correction for the benefit of other interested buyers and their own reputation for reliable information.

At this point I am ready for a cheap Chinese knockoff ..... anything under $100 with those specs and the long eye relief. Every pistol scope I've tried so far does not even let me fully extend my arm while shooting. Seems rather useless to me.

Tim

you are correct it does not have a parallax adjustment. I do use it at 10 meters but it is a slight bit out of focus although useable. At 15 yards it is really crisp. Seems to be really well built, has good solid adjustments and is nice and clear. An excellent value in my opinion. It does have the long eye relief if that is what you are after.
