Bummer! And thanks, I've wondered about the Swift scopes, but not enough to buy one. Especially when the same money could have gotten you a Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32. Yes, 32, and even then, it's at least as good as the 40 and 44mm scopes I've had for light transmission. Also, it's spring gun rated, and the guy I got that info from at Burris sounded like he really knew what that meant. Did I mention it's also small and light? Under 12" and 15 oz. If you haven't already replaced the Swift, consider the Burris. I don't think you'll regret it. Later.
