Swift scopes

Anyone familiar with scopes made by Swift Instruments?

I've got a Swift 4-12X on an older Remington 700 ADL in .308 that I picked up at a great deal as a package. Mostly target type plinking off a bench or in some of the "back 40's" way up north, mostly in good weather. Seems to work well for me so far. I haven't had as much experience with Leupolds or Nikons, etc., but I'm happy with mine.

I have a Swift telescope (15x60) (it's not a riflescope). I get double images. Piece of Junk was returned once, fixed once, and went out again. Made a Leupold buyer out of me.

I have a Swift 18X Riflescope mounted on an Colt flat top AR15. It works great. They come with a lifetime warranty, but by the way this one takes all the handling I give it, I doubt I'll need the warranty.
