    I had a 4-12x50 premier model on my hmr for about 2 years it never lost zero and it took a few knocks without any problems. i found it good for the price i paid for it, it did what i needed at the time i,ve upgraded since though :)

    hey there fellas i have a swift 4x24x50 on my 243 that i use for stalking and foxs and gets knocked bout a fare bit getting over ditches and so on but never not once lost it zero and even has mill dots with the premiere models bloody brilland 100 yards bang on cross hairs. 1 mil dot down 200 yards and 2 mil dots down 300 yards and so on,
    there is even screws on the turents to reset them back to zero so i dont have to yous the mil dopts down, for example 200 yards 2 clicks up and them just aim bang on the cross hairs on the target

    bad glass ,
    had trouble focusing both the ocular and the parallax ,could never get a crisp focus
    wouldn hold POI
    never had one bit of confidence in it after the issues i had with it
    got rid of it as soon as i could

    I have had a swift permier scope for nearly two years and i have had it on a .22 then .308 and its now on my .17. I have used it for target shooting and hunting bunnies and foxes.

    I find the scope brilliant it has never lost zero on any rifle its been on no matter how many knocks it got. It never fogs up and the clarity im it is ok for what i use it for.

    Imho they are good for the money you pay for it.
