Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

[StupidLightweight]

That was me....kicking myself a little bit this morning

At the time, you got a smokin’ deal, so don’t kick yourself too much. Hard to know they’d come back so soon.

Yes, the one I ordered this morning, I already got an email it has shipped. Excited to throw this on my 6arc.

Ordered with coupon code. Thanks for the heads up. Still in the market for a fixed 6x when those come available.

Wish I knew about the discount code before hand! I added it to the first post. Thanks!

Ordered one up with a 10 percent discount. Seemed silly not to. I’ll likely pull the 6x off my 223 - I just hate having to rezero guns.

Ordered one, never thought they would be back. What do you guys say 6x that's currently mounted or go to the 3-9 on my Tikka 223?

So is there going to be a gen 2 with zero stop about to drop right after they clear all these backorders and new inventory?

They honored their “Black Friday” pricing from 2 years ago for me today.

The gen 2 3-15 is 750 so if a new 3-9 comes out I imagine the price is going up. Anyone remember what MSRP of the original 3-15s were?

Similar situation here. I may or may not rip the 6x off my 223. Depends what you want to use it for. I’m torn because the 6x is easy to hand off to my wife or similar. No dealing with zoom, I set parallax and leave it after zero, if it’s under 200 there’s no need to mess with dialing etc.

But the 3-9 is a better scope overall. I’ve got one on my 6.5. I may save it in the off chance I grab a 308 stainless this year.

I have experience with both. I prefer the dimensions, the turrets, and the glass of the 4-9. 6xmq has parallax adjustment. It’s really a use case question. I have never turned the 4-9’s magnification above 6x hunting and it generally stayed on 4x which fits my purposes. I like fixed scopes more for simplicity. Hunted with the 6xmq exclusively the last few years. If the 6xmq had capped low profile turrets like the 1-6hd, it’d be all I’d use.

Damn! I waited too long to post my NIB 3-9 (from a prior Black Friday sale) for $1,000.00. Oh well, I guess I will just have to hold onto it and put it on that lefty Tikka 223 UM is supposed to be getting me.

Ordered one. Thanks for the heads-up and discount code!

I asked about gen 2 3-9x. They said:

"The 6X is the only Gen2 for this first quarter. We do not have a Gen2 of the 3-9."
