I been looking at these two brands for a scope to go on my muzzeloader. The 2 brands fit the price I wonna pay. Which is better? Opinions wanted.

Thanks

JMO, stay as far away from BSA optics as you can get! I've never had one that wasn't junk.

I've only had one BSA scope. It was their 40-50 dollar scope. Got it on sale for 20 bucks. It sucked. Blurry field of vision. Not just the edges, the entire field of view. I wasn't too upset about it due to the cheap price. I can't comment on their other scopes as I've never used one.

I have several of the newer Swift scopes and have been very pleased with them. Their US headquarters is only 10 minutes from my office so I am able to go right to the warehouse and make my purchases.

I don't think you'll be dissappointed with any of their products.

I have had a BSA on an old 225 for about 6 years now. The quality isnt that great but it hasnt messed up yet. FOr the price it is OK. It is no Leupold that is for sure.
