SwampFox optics are made/manufactured in China. ‘SwampFox’ (AKA SwampFox Optics, AKA SwampFox Tactical Optics) is the ‘American distribution direct-to-consumer brand name’ for products of a China OEM company (Shanghai Changhong Optoelectric). This OEM makes optics (and components) for many of the big name leading firearms optics companies (for example, the Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP rifle scopes are made by Shanghai Changhong Optoelectric). SwampFox does have engineers and designers interactive in the design and manufacture of the optics. ‘SwampFox’ as a company entity of the Shanghai Changhong Optoelectric American branding, the company headquarters, is located in the U.S. in Englewood, Colorado and was founded in 2018. China OEM’s started doing the ‘direct-to-consumer’ thing many years ago, it bypassed the ‘middle man’ concept and lets the China OEM simply market their products directly under specific brand names, for example, Primary Arms optics are a China OEM optic. Today, 100% of all firearms optics on the market, at a minimum, contain some components that originated in China (yes, even those in use by the government, and big names like, for example, EoTech and Aimpoint).

Personally, based upon having been fortunate enough to have been able to procure many different optics for free including SwampFox optics and having been able to use them myself… If I were going to mount a SwampFox optic for regular general use, and including a ‘home defense role’, I’d choose their Raider 1×20 Micro Prism and not the Liberator II. The Liberator II does cost less than the Raider though and its actually a pretty good optic for the money.
