Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

[Ratamahatta]

Discount code still works as of now.

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.

And I was just getting ready to offer you $975………..

Got one ordered up for the 16” 25creed build. Going to be awesome

I would still give you the buddy price of $1,050.00.

It’s nice to know that friends will take care of you.

Told myself I wasn't going to pick up a new scope anytime soon but Rokslide got me again. Thanks gentlemen!

Same issue here… the FOMO is real.

 

[roosiebull]

Glad some folks have been able to get these. I know I've been "patiently" waiting. Hah!

I feel like this thread should change your rokslide status to WKR automatically, or at least “big-Rokslider”

Thanks for the heads up! Can’t believe they were still in stock this morning when I saw this thread. Almost got 2 but I didn’t want to be greedy and I only have need for one currently

I might swap the swfa with the NXS i currently have on my rifle and put the NXS on the rifle in progress, I think I like the swfa 3-9 a little more than the 2.5-10 nightforce.

The other reason I didn’t get 2 is because of the implication of Ryan and crew having a scope built in the future, but hopefully the swfa are in stock consistently in the future

Hah! I certainly wouldn't mind the status upgrade! I've been around for 10+ years, I just do a lot of lurking. I'm very interested in the UM scope as well!

I didn’t read enough of the thread before ordering to see the discount code, but, buying one at retail is like having a 30% discount code in the classifieds

 

[JustSomeGuy35]

I ended up buying a second 3-9 when I saw that discount code posted. I was just about to buy a NX8 in the next few weeks for an upcoming prairie dog hunt but couldnt resist.

Oh well, guess I gotta start saving again.

I ordered the one that I needed..... Then screw it! Ordered another the next day just for the shelf

Order in. This scope will be perfect on my Ruger M77 mkii in .280 Remington. Been waiting for these to be stocked again.

Got mine in yesterday evening and fondled it a bit. It’s nice but I think the 3-15 gen 2 is better. The 3-15 has much better feeling turrets and my eyes can’t tell a difference in glass. The only downside to the 3-15 is the magnification ring is backwards. Still super happy with the 3-9 for the price and will make a great optic for my 223 trainer.

 

[JAC8504]

i think I would try a 3-15 due to the fact it has a zero stop

 

[Choupique]

I have a gen 1 3-15 and I love it. Never understood why the 3-9 is so beloved and the 3-15 rarely discussed.

I have been wanting to move my swfa 3-15 to my sage rat gun, and now I can. An nx8 would be awesome for a rat gun, but unless you live in sage rat country, it would be hard for me to justify.

I go east a couple times per year to shoot rats, and only use my 17hmr for the prime time (first 3hrs of daylight) and then i start walking the edges of the pivots and shoot my bow the rest of the day

The 3-9 will still be great for rats, that’s mostly what I have used in the past… a little more would be ideal, but unless you’re burning 10k rounds a year shooting rats every day, I would have a hard time spending over 2k on a rat scope

I don’t love the swfa 3-15 for an all around hunting scope, especially if there may be a new shooter behind the gun, but it will be awesome on my CZ
