A low-power variable optic (LPVO) on your favorite AR or bolt gun is truly a case of the “best of both worlds.” The first focal plane Swampfox Warhorse adds a great middle-of-the-road option for those seeking this versatility on their defensive or hunting gun.
My overall impression of the Warhorse is “stout.” If you’re looking for an ultralight optic, this isn’t it. But, without getting into destructive testing, the Warhorse seems likely to be a long-term survivor. Even if you somehow manage to break it, Swampfox optics are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The 34mm main tube houses very clear optics with no distortion or fringing noted at any power setting. The operating controls, including the push/pull locking elevation turret with zero reset and 12-position reticle illumination turret, are robust and positively engage their stops with no slop. This one now resides on my longer-range AR-15 defensive gun.
MSRP: $639
