I'm having issues with my Swampfox Kingslayer not holding zero. Has anyone else had this issue? I really like the green circle dot, but not being able to have confidence in the sight is unacceptable!

I have had nothing but great experiences with the two of mine. I'd reach out to them...they'll probably do right by you.

I had no problems with my 2 holding zero... They have great customer service, so contact them...

Have you ruled out the mounting system? Turkey guns are tough on mounts. Check your bases screws and/or the screws holding the sight to the base.

Great to read the positive reviews also!
Been thinking about picking this up for a few year.

Let us know how it turns out, please?!

No problems with mine. Like others said could be mounts.

Gentry

Thanks for the reply's. It's a sumtoy mount and basically can not move. All screws are tight. I do not think it is a mount problem. I crippled a turkey and had to run him down. I got to looking and I can visibly see the halo had moved to left of the bead. I shot it to verify and it did in fact shoot left of POA.

I have close to 100 shots with mine and no issues. It's not perfect in design but it's held zero great. I give a much higher probability of the base being loose a hair than the sight failed but Swampfox is a good company and they will get you right.

What type of mount do you use?

Mine is mounted on a rail that came with the gun...

I am having the same problem with mine.

Gentry

Just giving an update. I contacted swampfox and they replaced the sight basically no questions asked. All they wanted was pictures of how it was mounted. Can't ask for anything better..

Great to hear they took care of the problem. I hunted with mine this season & so far I love it .

It happens.

Had a FF3 do the same, mounted tight but POI moved each shot. No questions asked by Burris and replaced with a new unit. Glad the manufacturer took good care of you, too.
