Ledd Slinger said:I have never shot a rifle with an SWFA scope so I can not attest to their durability, but I have handled them a few times in Mom & Pop sporting shops that had them in stock. For the money, I was not impressed to say the least. Not even with their most expensive models. Glass was low/mid-range quality, maybe equivalent to Leupold VX-2 at best. Turrets were very hard to turn and clicks were very mushy. From my limited experience playing with a few in a shop, I personally will never buy one.

I've seen Chinese knock-off SWFA scopes on ebay before and AFAIK nobody retails SWFA scopes other than SWFA. It's possible those may have been knock-offs they were selling.
