For both of my back orders they actually called me and asked if I still wanted them before they charged my card.

Or they are sourcing from another place to gain better availability.

It’s in China. I kid I kid!!

Would love to see a 3-12 with zero stop, capped windage ,and illumination.

No need to make a new scope just add those features to their current 3-15!

For anyone interested, I came across this today on another forum. Seems the sale may reflect some changes in how they run the business and an attempt to really focus on the SWFA SS scopes as opposed to their other products...

Swfa response to closing question.

So I asked SWFA if they were closing. This is the response I got. They said it was fine if I posted their response. SWFA, Inc. is a family owned and operated business, specializing in hunting and shooting related products since 1973. In the 1970's we had a single retail location, in the...

Looks like a promising direction/development.

Yes, that is an interesting development. The demand is there, they can't keep them in stock. Tweaking the basic design a bit for capped windage and a zero stopped elevation for the various models and they'll make an already great riflescope that much better.

Add a NF atacr style threaded throw lever and you'd have a real winner!

Will be interesting to see what pricing looks like.

Fast focus eyepiece (like the 6x) on the 3-9.

I've not used one on the atacr but if it's like the NXS's short threaded lever I'm a fan, especially the way it's implemented. Anyone who doesn't want to use it, just remove it.

I think they upgraded to 3-9 box from white to a more colorful black, maybe that’s the rumored upgrade?

Zero stop and capped windage is all I need, although I’ve kinda learned to live without it now.

If they added those two I'd actually own one. I've watched other companies add that to similarly priced optics. I can't speak to building quality on all of them but I've been generally happy with the Athlon and Meopta lines I've looked at.

Atacr is identical to the one on nxs

I actually spoke to Wendy yesterday. She essentially told me the same thing as posted in that thread. Wonder if she ever gets tired of answering our questions?

Anyhow, I asked if they had any plans on upgrading the scopes in the future. Keep in mind I didn’t say how, or what I would recommend, just a general question.

Her answer “Our scopes will be our sole focus moving forward”.

 

[Brandon.miller.4]

I'm way too excited for this. I'll remain hopeful they don't sacrifice durability

 

[Redwing]

I remain hopeful they'll keep them at or near the current price point.

I have my doubts...

Any updates on a new line?
