yep, I have 2 of the premiers.
One had a turn on an AR before going to a rimfire, and the other is also on a rimfire.
Good glass for midday paperpunching.
Surprisingly clear up to 20X.
No regrets, but mine cost alot less than current pricing.

I've considered the swift line both for binos and scopes, though I don't own any of there products, I've always wondered how they were.

Swift is a really good scope for the money you pay. Good to go. I have an older 3-9x40. 10+ years old, no problems, good optics.

Is the eye relief good to go on the Swifts you fellas have? I thought it may be a little short on a bigger caliber rifle.

I have the Premier 2-7x40 Wide Angle on a .243. At 2x it is very bright and i can see very well 1/2 hour before sunrise or after sunset. It has an eyerelief of 3" at 2x and about 2.7" at 6x. If properly mounted, it is enough eye relief.

I have a Premier 4-12x40 and it has been outstanding, for what it is for which is deer hunting at relatively close ranges (300 or so).  It is useable out to longer ranges, but does not have target or tactical turrets, so requires some "work".  I used a Leatherwood 3D mount and tested it out to 500 and it is very good, with the mount, for that range.  Price was great and as others stated, the warranty is hard to beat.  Well worth the money, which is much more than I can say for some of the scopes I have purchased trying to find a "deal".  Swift really IS a deal.
