Let me shoot straight with you, save for a little longer, I know it's tough cause you want to shoot now. I've been there, trust me you'll be alot more satisfied if you wait just a little longer and get a better scope, take a look at this, I wouldn't settle for anything less than what I'm recommending. http://www.swfa.com/pc-10698-1526-new-millett-4-16x56-buck-gold-30mm-riflescope.aspx

i havent used them myself but i have spent a fair amount of time looking through them, i would compare the swift to a nikon buckmaster and a burris ffII closer to the buckmaster, if you wanna know how they are for real talk to dolphin he has a few of them and they are on wby mags so i know they can handle recoil.
