So I ended up buying the Swampfox Arrowhead scope after watching a video review of it by Ilya, aka the Dark Lord of Optics. I have followed Ilya's reviews for a while and I appreciate the detail he provides. I have also never been disappointed with anything Ilya has recommended.
I am certainly not qualified to review scopes myself, but I have owned/used many different brands of scopes, as well as different levels of cost/quality. My high-end would be the NF ATACR, and my low end would would be a super-cheap Bushnell from from Big 5 (I regretted that one). Lots of scopes in between, including Vortex, Leupold and Sightron, etc.
I had never even heard of Swampfox before I saw Ilya's review, and I do not have any affiliation with them (or with any other scope company).
Bottom line is that I really like this Arrowhead scope. I got the 1-10 model and I think it is a fantastic option for the money.
The glass is clear and bright.
The eye box is very easy to get behind at all power levels.
The MOA reticle is perfect for my application.
The illumination is very visible, even in daylight.
The turrets lift and lock and have nice crisp clicks.
The focus ring on the eyepiece was easy for me to adjust for my eye.
And a little side-note: The box and packaging are as nice as I have ever seen.
Again, I am not a scope expert, but I wanted to write a "review" on the Arrowhead so others might become aware of it.
I hope people will give Swampfox a chance -- I am quite surprised at how much I like my 1-10 Arrowhead.
By the way, if you want to see a real review, check out Ilya's video.
