I’m considering picking up the Swampfox Kentucky Long 2-12 for my rifle setup and would love to get some feedback from anyone who’s used it.

Key Features I’m Interested In:

  • Optical Clarity: How does the glass compare to other scopes in its class?
  • Durability: Has anyone had issues with it holding zero after some rough use?
  • Reticle Options: What do you all think of the reticle design for hunting vs. target shooting?

Performance Insights:

  • If you’ve used it for hunting, how does it perform at dawn or dusk?
  • Any thoughts on the adjustments and turrets? Do they feel precise?

Comparisons:

  • How does it stack up against other similar scopes you’ve tried?

I’m hoping to make an informed decision, so any insights, reviews, or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Color accuracy has been spot on for me as well. It really makes a difference when tracking game through foliage during the day.

It’s interesting to see how it performs in low light. I’ve had some good results, but how does it compare in foggy conditions?

Absolutely! After a hunting season filled with heavy use, it has kept its zero perfectly. No shift at all, which is great for long-range shots.

I’ve taken it out in some really harsh conditions—rain, mud, you name it—and it still performs like a champ. Definitely durable!

That’s reassuring to hear. Anyone had to deal with warranty claims? Curious how that process went.
