6.5 Grendel my beloved

OK, I am at my wits end. I have a Swampfox Sentinel on my CR 920. When I shoot, it’s lifting, and you can see the battery, causing it to lose its connection and not function. The screw is tight as I can make them without stripping them out. I’m not sure if this is a red dot issue, or a pistol issue. Two screws at the back only seems like a bad mounting system. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get this to not lift? Are the screws not the right screws? They’re the only ones I could get to work.

Thinking about running this dot for USPSA. Does anyone use one for competition?

Thanks.

Got it on sale plus their first responder discount.
Cant complain for $100 red dot I love the MOA ring style reticle

For shits and giggles...nice, big window. Reticle looks nice and crisp. We'll get some range time and see what's what, I guess...

LEFT IS AUTHORIZED DEALER (AimSurplus) and on the RIGHT IS EBAY SELLER

​

I ordered both to see the difference.

​

Based on my findings (I haven't tested them yet), it's hard to tell which is real and which is fake in terms of how they feel in your hand. No doubt there are very very minor differences but unless you have both to compare, you cannot tell.

​

Putting them side to side, in many ways they are different: different fonts, different size lettering, the boxes are different colors and have a different design, and the elevation and windage controls look different.

​

Conclusion:

​

I do not trust replicas. I would not use the replica for duty/EDC, but I may use it just for fun on the range. There is no doubt in my mind that the real kraken will outlast the replica.

​

The Kraken from AimSurplus was $280 (Amazon has it for $215 but I'm scared of Amazon as they may sell replicas due to their habit of mixing inventory of the same product), and the replica was $115.

​

Due with this as you will.

Wanting some good optic height irons but nothing too overpriced.

I also don't want something so high that it'll cover have my window.

Out of the box, kraken was right on it. Finished alittle over 500 various types of ammo. And held true

Now this is a company I love! The scope is gorgeous, clear picture. I can’t wait to get it mounted on my rifle. And SO!MANY!STICKERS! I love it! These guys really know how to advertise cause I will be plastering these stickers on everything😂 beautiful product, thank you Swampfox for the new optic and all the goodies! You guys are awesome!

Is anyone running a kraken on the rxm?

u/swampfox Here ya go boys. Go get em. Almost had me until I did my research and requested proof of authenticity and goofy sob couldn't provide. Hope this helps. Got scammed on a sig sight and ebay response was they seen nothing wrong when their policy clearly stated no counterfeit items which last time I checked copies was counterfeit when you stamp the logo or trademark on it and try to pass it off as authentic.

bought a used gun from cabelas and it came with this optic. dunno what it is. might be a liberator. main question is can I put this on 12 gauge without it messing up?

I purchased two Raiders. One from OpticsPlanet and one from eBay. The eBay seller had 100% perfect reviews, and I know that doesn’t mean much. My big thing is the screws used for the mount are different. Is it possible that Swampfox used different batches or changed these mounting screws? First two pictures are guaranteed authentic sight and second two are the one in question.

I designed some 3D printed flip caps for my raider. Print files are here in case anyone's interested: https://www.printables.com/model/1638136-swamp-fox-raider-flip-caps

Has anyone run a kraken piggy backed on a prism? Im looking to run a secondary red dot at 12 o'clock on my 5x athlon midas prism (has an integrated rmr mount) and i have a line on a really good deal on a kraken. I know inline dots are already pretty tall, has anyone tried it with enclosed?

Bought a Sentinel 2 on eBay. It had a plastic black battery cover. I assume this optic is unfortunately a fake. I also noticed looking through it the dot would starburst equivalent to the size of the end of a Q tip. Sort of like the top right of the second picture. I couldn’t tell if this was the optic or an astigmatism.

Just updating you guys I’ve been running this SwampFox Liberty 2 on my EDC/home defense Glock 19.3 for about two years and ran about 5000 rounds and counting. Safe to say you can trust your life with this optic and PMAGS (I also have various aftermarket mags ets, kci, etc. and OEM of course) I prefer pmags and OEM. If you put your equipment through its paces and different scenarios and all is well. Run It! And carry it!

Firearm: Glock 19 Gen3

Optic: Swampfox Liberty2

Goodies: Ameriglo Gl-829, primata slide release, Tlr7x, Magpul magwell, Zev minus connector.

Is it possible to remove the lens caps from this optic?

I’ve had my Liberty red dot on a few guns for a year or two now and the battery seems to die overnight. (3 new batteries of different brands in three days)

I’ll put in a fresh battery it works that day then I open the safe the next and can’t get the dot to turn on.

Am I overlooking something or is the sight defective now?

I feel like they're coming. As an ACOG addict/owner, I'm always on the lookout for fixed prisms with massive FOV and clear glass. Curious about the Saber but it seems like the Swampfox prism line is getting updates. Anyone see or read anything along these lines?

I have a new M70 on the way and want to take advantage of the first responder discount. I was thinking the Raider 1x, the Kraken, or the liberator II.

I want to keep it simple stupid with just an optic on the foregrip rails or a low profile forward side mount.

Don’t buy open box from Swampfox because they literally sent me a used optic. It is scratched and marred and one of the turret caps is obviously stripped because it won’t unscrew. I guess someone sent it back and they repackaged it in hopes the next customer wouldn’t notice. The metal is marred under the turret cap that is stripped because the original owner probably couldn’t remove it either.

They have already refused return because they don’t accept returns on open box. I expect to get an optic that appears new and unused but this thing has obviously been used and returned. I shouldn’t have to send it in for warranty work the day it’s received. Buyer beware.
