Holy hell I never knew this! I checked out their website... good lord. I’ve never seen a more “warrior-bro lifestyle” website. It’s cringey at how bad it is.
I looked at their warranty, 50k rounds. How the heck do you determine round count through a red dot? Couldn’t Swamp just claim it has X number of rounds and not fix your product? They seem super sus
Yeah, I could not in good conscious ever buy from or recommend buying from a company like that. It's best to steer clear.
I'm not privy to the sentinel but I do know that a lot of people have had failures with the LPVO's they make, but that is typical of all chinese variable optics, they're all junk regardless of who's name is etched in the side of it.
There are some decent red dots coming out of china in recent years. Are the swampfox units one of them? I don't know but they don't really seem to be. The Holosun's have had a decent track record for probably close to 5 years now on most of their dots, and a few of the Sig ones are pretty good too. They're both good quality for the money and exceptional for being from china, but I still would never run one without some sort of backup sight or if there was a better option (like Trijicon) available for the same footprint if it's anything but a range toy. You're most likely not going to go home stomping your feet because your range day was cut short from your Holosun or Sig red dot failing, but they're still not good enough to trust your life to without a backup sighting option, but then again nothing with batteries or electronic is.
