    So I've been debating on trying out a budget LPVO on a spare rifle build I have. Just checking to see if anyone has some insight on Swampfox Optics. As the market has been flooded with guns, parts, accessories, etc., I'm sure there are some trying to make some quality stuff at a decent price.

    Sorry for the delay, I had totally forgot about this thread. I intend on picking up one of their LPVOs here shortly and try it out.

    Any info yet? Which model are you looking at?
    I was looking at the 1-8x or the 1-10x Arrowhead line. The specs seem to be fairly good and close if not better than some other entry to mid level scopes in the same price range. My only hesitation is I can't put my hands on one before buying it. Also, being a relatively new company, not a lot of reviews out there.

    I saw those while browsing their site. My initial thought is for a 1-8 or 1-10 I would like them to be first focal plane instead of second. I think the second focal plane is good for the 1-4 and 1-6 market. What are your thoughts? Im actually trying to get hands on a burris xtr 1.5-8 dual focal plane. From reviews I have seen it looks good.

    I am also looking for a scope similar to the ones/styles mentioned in the above.
    Will be watching this thread. Please post any additional info as it becomes available. Especially the available reticals or if lighted.
    Thanks all. --- SAWMAN

    My shop that I work at in Colorado is about a mile away from the Burris factory. If you haven't found the xtr yet, I could drop in and ask about one and possibly get a manufacturers discount. Let me know if interested.
