The Swampfox Arrowhead 1-8x24 delivers versatile magnification in a compact low power variable optic designed for modern sporting rifles. This scope bridges the gap between close-quarters engagement and precision shooting with true 1x performance and clear 8x magnification. The 30mm main tube construction provides enhanced light transmission and reliable tracking across the magnification range.
What Makes This Different
The Arrowhead features Swampfox's Guerrilla Dot BDC reticle system with green illumination, offering rapid target acquisition at 1x while providing holdover points for extended range shots at higher magnifications. The 24mm objective lens maintains a low profile while gathering sufficient light for dawn and dusk hunting conditions. Japanese glass construction delivers edge-to-edge clarity that outperforms many optics in this price range.
Key Features
- 1-8x variable magnification with true 1x performance for both-eyes-open shooting

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking and return-to-zero performance through temperature changes and recoil stress. The scope maintains zero through hundreds of rounds of .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. Competition shooters appreciate the fast target transitions possible with the 1x setting, while hunters benefit from the precision available at 8x magnification for shots extending to 400 yards.
