It wasn’t until about three or four years ago that I got my hands on my first optic from Swampfox. Given the lower price point, I didn’t have too high of expectations. I’m happy to report that my expectations were surpassed.

From prism scopes to red dots to LPVOs, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the optics I’ve tested. When you can get a reliable optic at a great price, there isn’t much more you can ask for.

Since I’m a sucker for multi-reticle red dots, the Liberty II caught my eye right away. Now that I’ve had it for several months and it’s spent time on pistols and rifles of mine, I figure it’s time to share my experience with it.

A big shoutout goes to Swampfox for sending this to us for review. As always, no expectations or stipulations were outlined in exchange except to provide an honest review.

We’ll dive into the features, discuss its performance, and ultimately try to help you decide if this should be one of your next optics.

Despite the affordable price, there is no lack of features, and one of my favorites is the multiple reticle options.

I usually run the combination reticle, but you can also choose each reticle component individually (3 MOA dot, circle, or crosshairs) if you prefer. Regardless of which reticle you choose, the Shake N’ Wake technology will ensure it’s on and ready to go the second you need it while saving battery when you don’t.

Regardless of which reticle you choose, you’ll have ten manual illumination settings, including a couple that are night vision compatible.

I’ve found level seven or eight to be the most ideal unless you’re shooting in the brightest of conditions, in which case nine or ten provides more than enough brightness.

A durable 7075-T6 aluminum housing with anti-glare serrations on the hood protects the glass and reticle.

Not only do the serrations help with reflections, but they also add to the aesthetic appeal. Small details like that reassure you that a lot of research and development went into it.

Other small but not-to-be-looked-over features are the top-loading battery, large and easy-to-use buttons, and blacked-out logos (I’m not a fan of bright and flashy branding).

I haven’t been hitting the range as frequently as I would like, but I have managed to throw just over 750 rounds down range with the help of the Liberty II. I’ve mounted it on various firearms, from my Smith & Wesson Volunteer XV Pro to my Springfield 1911 Operator.  

I’ve only been using the Liberty II within roughly 20 yards on my pistol or 40-50 yards with my AR-15, but it’s successfully rung gongs and punched paper at any distance in between.

It’s always been “on” by the time I look down range, it’s stayed zeroed regardless of whether I’m shooting 9mm or 5.56, and the brightness levels have been more than adequate in sunny outdoor settings.

Overall, the Liberty II has been performing well, and I haven’t experienced any hiccups.  

Remember, what may be pros and cons to one person can be the opposite for another.

When it comes to pistol optics, the Liberty II checks many boxes for me. Multiple reticle options, the Shake N’ Wake technology, and durable construction are enough to make these fly off the shelves, but considering the price, it’s a no-brainer.

If you’re in the market for an affordable yet feature-packed red dot with an RMR footprint, I highly suggest you consider the Liberty II.

As always, stay safe, train hard, and have fun.
