    I've had a Arrowhead 1x10 since May of 2020. Retail was $549 and I paid $422.24 to my door with a discount code. Their military discount is even better. I chose the Green BDC reticle and I have been very pleased with it. I've only taken it out to 420 yards so far but the subtensions are accurate and it tracts accurately with the Federal XM193 that I was using. Here are a few through the scope shots ( don't judge the scope because of my poor camera skills). As you can see the reticle is daylight bright it has 11 settings and 2 NV settings. The 1st two are @ 1x the next @6x and the final @10x.

    I have other more expensive optics ( Nightforce NXS 2x10x24 , Leupold MK6 1x6 , Trijicon TA 33 and Vortex Razor HD 5x20x50) and the optical clarity of the Swampfox is very close to all of them and the reticle illumination is better in daylight than my Nightforce. I just purchased my 6th Swampfox product a 2x12x44 Kentucky Long during their Labor Day sale and I'm looking forward to mounting it on my 2nd SCAR 17. The only problem I have had was with my Sentinel Green Dot as the rubber button covering the up arrow came off. Their CS took care of me and shipped me a new optic ( overnight I paid for the increase) and two days later I used it in a GSSF pistol match to win a pistol with it and was fortunate to repeat the feat the following weekend at another match. I think that their products are a very good value and their CS is second to none.

    I did a review of the Arrowhead: https://www.rkbarmory.com/swampfox-a...d-1-10-review/

    Disclaimer: The link takes you to our website, and we have that particular Arrowhead, lightly used, for sale.

    I pulled the trigger and bought one today straight from the manufacturer. I've been researching 1-10x and this one kept popping up and for the price I just couldn't resist. I was going to splurge and spend big money on a Vortex Gen 3, but couldn't find a Badger Ordnance C1 34mm 1.70" anywhere.

    I'll be mounting this scope on a Geissele Super Duty 16" via Badger Ordnance C1 30mm. Can't wait to see how it performs. The reviews all rave about the value.

    Any update on this. Considering this scope for a DMR'ish build.

    I placed the orders yesterday, so naturally I'm awaiting shipping arrival. I wasn't really going for a DMR build but I guess it's essentially what it will be. I have a couple SBR's in 300 BLK and 5.56 with red dots (MRO and EOTech) and feel I needed to put something more than just irons back of top of the 16", which to this point has been a safe queen. I want to start shooting the 16" more so I also ordered a better charging handle and have been looking for a Dead Air flash hider so I can shoot it suppressed when I get it all set up.

    I just submitted my 214 for the Veteran discount so I'll be grabbing one soon! Discount is decent for sure, hate to wait for Black Friday in case there is a deeper discount on the chance that they might go out of stock. I'll confirm everything Friday and probably grab one. All the reviews and you guys talking about this scope show that it's really a decent scope for the $$$! I'm long past the days of abusing my gear and running stuff hard so I'm sure it will serve me well. I'll keep ya posted on when I get it and grab a few pic's of it mounted up.

    I'm happy with the 1x8 Arrowhead and a Warne X-SKEL mount on my .308 AR. The illumination is plenty bright and as RKB noted in his review, the etched reticle works great in daylight, even without illumination. I would buy another and probably will if I can find a good deal on Black Friday.

    I learned of Swampfox after coming across this random video while searching for LPVO reviews
