swampfox optics

Awesome! I also thought the glass clarity and field of view was pretty good.

i can say that if i set it to max brightness in my garage, which has windows, the entire inside has a red halo, it can get bright

I've noticed the same with my 1-8, sucker gets extremely bright. Hoping to box test it this week or next

got it mounted, no time to test shoot under it yet

but the glass is clear, and the dot is bright at highest setting
when i get it out i will try a for some pics in daylight

Price wise, it looks like the Tomahawk is in the Vortex Strike Eagle range? How does the glass compare? I was looking at that kentucky long to replace a Vortex Viper if the clarity is better. Just trying to gauge comparisons.

never had a strike eagle, but i am sure youtube has something, or maybe even arfcom

Pretty sure Arfcom has a comparison. Only Vortex I have is a 2-7 Crossfire on a Rimfire rifle so can't really comment on glass quality

I have the strike eagle 1-6 and the swampfox 1-8. The glass is clearer on the swampfox and the edge to edge clarity is better. Not getting rid of the strike eagle any time soon though.

I was looking at them this morning. They almost made the perfect hunting defense scope for my needs. Until they keep the reticle from their other scopes.

They hit everything dead on the head and then tripped and went face first in the mud with the reticles.

i am not a fan of ranging options with sfp

What kind of reticle do you prefer and for what purpose?

[imaguy3]

This isn't a bad hunting reticle I don't think... especially for a close-mid range gun... I had a similar reticle on my Bushnell Tactical Elite 1-6.5 and slayed lots of coyote/rabbits with it... I loved it

A nice simple thin crosshair with hashmark elevation and windage holdovers. That's what I have in my pst's and I use them for hunting, target playing and self defense

The reticles with half circles and chevrons just to me clutter up my sight picture.

I have tryed several ffp scopes and always find the same problems. They don't work well in low light trying to kill a animal and when you turn up the power the reticule gets bigger and covers my aim point. I'm a (pick a hair) type of shooter. So far me in my style of hunting and self defense use's.

Give me everything the new swampfox scopes have but lose the reticles and replace it with a reticle like what is in the gen 2 pst or some of the Athlon scopes.

That would be a perfect scope for my needs.

The Arrowheads look nice and I like the reticle, however they are about $200 more it looks like.
Anyway before the Arrowhead came out I had a case of the ass and bought both Strike Eagles, PSA 1-8x and Tomahawk 1-8x and I'm gonna do a YouTube review of my opinion of them.
I can tell you my least favorite reticle is the 1-8x Strike Eagle(IMO useless for range estimation) compared to the others.
You may ask why buy them all.... it was a case of the ass I got and I want to test them myself.

Tomahawk's eye relief is much better, to me.

what about clarity. That was my biggest gripe with the 1-6 strike eagle I had... dawn/dusk/low light clarity was terrible if you tried to use any magnification. Even in perfect conditions it wasn't the greatest.
