In todays market, we have tons of options from MOA to MIL and magnifications from 2X to 50X.

For my needs, I selected the 2-12x44mm.

My test model is in MIL, with the Recce MIL reticle design.

review of the Swampfox Kentucky Long

MIL allows you to do your math and adjustments in 10ths rather than 14 inches like MOA.

This reticle design allows for fast accurate ranging and holdovers from distance to wind calls.

Norma Ammo used during the scope testing

The tube diameter of the scope is 30mm, with a total length of 12.4.

It weighs in at 24 oz.

And for low light, you have a powered red reticle via a single 2032 battery.

Luckily for us, we never saw more than 5 mph wind.

Now, even though6.5 Creedmoor is a flat-shooting performance round, high wind like that can cause some deviations.

You will also see three other rounds in that same target, which are quite a bit low.

Sighting in the Swampfox Kentucky Long during the review

The eye box is generous and the push/pull-style resettable turrets are some of my favorites.

The turrets also display white and red markings for quick identification of turret adjustment location.

I think the quality speaks for itself with this scope.
