The Swamp Deer Optics FX HD 5-30X56SFIR FFP-S is a premium long-range riflescope engineered for shooters who demand exceptional clarity, precision adjustments, and reliable performance in demanding environments. Designed for long-range shooting, precision competition, tactical applications, and serious hunting, this optic delivers the versatility needed to engage targets from medium to extreme distances.
Its first focal plane (FFP) reticle ensures that reticle subtensions remain accurate across the entire magnification range, allowing shooters to estimate range and apply holdovers at any zoom level. Combined with HD multi-coated optics and a large 56 mm objective lens, the scope provides bright, high-contrast imaging even in low-light conditions.
The FX HD series also features precision 1/10 MIL tactical turrets and a zero-stop system, allowing shooters to quickly return to their original zero after dialing elevation for long-distance shots. Built with a rugged 34 mm tube and durable aluminium construction, the scope is designed to withstand recoil, harsh weather, and demanding field conditions while maintaining consistent performance.

Key Features:
- First Focal Plane Reticle
The FFP reticle scales with magnification, ensuring holdover marks remain accurate regardless of zoom level. This is especially useful for long-range shooting and tactical applications.
- 56 mm HD Objective Lens
The large objective lens captures more light, producing brighter images and improved target clarity during low-light conditions such as dawn or dusk.
- Super Fine Illuminated Reticle (SFIR)
The illuminated reticle enhances visibility against dark backgrounds and shaded environments, helping maintain clear aiming points in challenging lighting.
- Precision Tactical Turrets with Zero-Stop
High-precision turrets allow accurate windage and elevation adjustments with tactile feedback. The zero-stop system allows shooters to quickly return to their original zero after making long-range adjustments.
- Wide Magnification Range
With 5× to 30× magnification, the scope adapts easily from mid-range target engagement to extreme long-range shooting scenarios.
- Side Parallax Adjustment
The side focus knob allows precise parallax correction from 10 yards to infinity, ensuring crisp target focus and improved accuracy.
- Rugged Tactical Construction
The aluminium scope body and sealed construction provide resistance against recoil, shock, moisture, and environmental conditions encountered during field use.
Included Accessories:
Depending on supplier packaging, the scope may include:
- Lens covers
- Cleaning cloth or cleaning kit
- Adjustment tools / Allen keys
- CR2032 battery for reticle illumination

TK Series vs FX Series Riflescopes
Swamp Deer Optics offers several riflescope lines designed for different shooting applications. Two of the most popular are the TK series and the FX series. While both deliver reliable optics and durable construction, they are designed for different types of shooters and shooting distances.
The TK series is generally designed as a versatile, mid-range optic, making it ideal for hunting and general shooting. In contrast, the FX series is a high-performance long-range optic, built with advanced features such as first focal plane reticles and precision tactical turrets for extended-distance accuracy.
TK Series Scopes
The TK (Tomahawk) series focuses on simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. These scopes typically feature moderate magnification ranges, adjustable objectives for parallax correction, and lightweight construction that works well for hunting rifles or air rifles.
Typical Characteristics:
- Magnification ranges from 3-12× or 4- 16× commonly
- Second focal plane (SFP) reticles
- Adjustable objective (AOE) for parallax correction
- Simple illuminated reticles for easy aiming
- 1-inch (25.4 mm) tube diameter
- Lightweight and compact design
- Ideal for hunting, air rifles, and recreational shooting
These scopes prioritise clear optics and practical usability, making them well-suited for shooters who want dependable performance without complex tactical features.
FX Series Scopes
The FX series is designed for precision shooters and long-range applications. These scopes include advanced features such as first focal plane reticles, larger tube diameters, and high magnification ranges for accurate shooting at extended distances.
Typical Characteristics
- High magnification ranges such as 5-30×
- First focal plane (FFP) reticles for accurate holdovers
- Precision MIL-based turret adjustments
- Zero-stop elevation systems for quick return to zero
- Larger 34 mm tube diameter for greater adjustment range
- Large objective lenses (often 50–56 mm) for improved light transmission
- Designed for long-range shooting, tactical use, and competition
These features make the FX series particularly useful for shooters who dial elevation frequently or rely on reticle holdovers at varying magnifications.
