Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

[5811]

Small ranger band fixes the stiff power ring without the bulk of a throw lever. 12$ for an assorted sized bag on Amazon.

I like this idea. Will try it. Thanks!

The power ring, is stiffer than Jerry Sandusky at a Pop Werner game.

That is wrong on so many levels, but funnier than hell lmao.

Is @ChrisAU in the lead so far for the longest wait?

I was 2 years 2 weeks i think. Don't remember the exact day it arrived

I’m not great at math, but I think I had to wait 6 days from order date, does 2 years and 4 days equal more days? If you just add the 2 and the 4, it looks like we were tied on wait time?

I ran the numbers and your math checks out.
I’m a pretty good mathist too, so we got that going for us.

So 2 way tie for first as of today.

Got mine mounted, nice! should have bought 2. I got mine in 2 days from order. Same when they had the 3x15 and 10x gen II's.

Scope caps and a ranger band installed. If you haven’t applied a little dab of grease to the o rings inside the turret caps I strongly suggest it! Much better feel to the turrets now.

 

[270quest]

Yes a little grease on the o rings and the clicks are far more audible and more defined feel.

14 for the eyepiece and 29 for the objective.

29 is too tight for the objective and could cause the cap to break in the cold. 30 is a better fit

I can confirm the 30 fits well. When SWFA was selling Butler Creek cap kits they sold the 14 and 30 as the 3-9x kit.

 

[jfk69]

I got the 30 as well and it’s perfect.

Looks like I just wasted $10 on the 29 then.

It will go on and work, but it's really tight and I think it would be more prone to breaking. I've got one on mine right now but I'm going to exchange it at Scheels where I bought it.

You can always wrap some electrical tape on it to help hold it together.

 

[HighUintas]

My local Scheels doesn't have a 30 obj in stock, so I'm just going to use the 29 and see how it does.

One gripe I have about the BC caps is that the objective cap flips open so easily while I've got it strapped to my pack. Maybe the extra tight fit will mitigate that issue

Good luck. With BC caps, I’ve found the tighter they fit on the objective or ocular, the EASIER they are to inadvertently flip open. It’s the thing I dislike the most about them.

Warm it up with a heat gun, before you install . It will be fine.

 

[Weldor]

I use the Vism, they have a nice clamp and foam tape if needed. I like how they flip pen and lay flat.

 

[Brix8984]

Back in stock if anyone missed out.

Only lets me add 11 to cart so get them quick
