SWFA Black Friday

[Mike Islander]

Got my Black Friday 3x15 in mail today - going on a Tikka build

Same here. Arrived last night. Today pulled the 10X off the Fieldcraft and installed the 3x15. Nice scope.

When they were on sale I didn’t NEED one. Now that they’re out of stock I reallly WANT one again. Such a doof.

Looks like the 3-9s sold out. Glad I grabbed a couple on sale. My first SWFA scopes. What are the chances they come out with a Gen 2 version?

I was told a few months ago there was no plan on doing that

I have a used one I'll sell you for $599.

$498! $1 off the sale price. Since it’s used and all.

I'm glad you didn't take me up on it. After I posted, I thought "shit, I might have to send him a scope I want to keep".

I'm surprised they blew out their remaining inventory on a sale. Be nice if they kept some in stock but that must not be the SWFA model.

They still cant believe folks want their 25 yr old design scopes enough to pay 2x what they sold for 4 yrs ago

Has everyone received their Black Friday purchases yet. I bought 3 of the 3-9. Received 1. It would seem odd that they would ship in separate boxes for the same order.

I ordered one the the morning of black Friday and then impulse ordered another right before the sale closed the Monday after. Those e-mails with the countdown timer really worked on me I guess. They shipped separately, but both should get here tomorrow.

Mine came in on Friday, very happy with the 3-9 so far. Now waiting for the rifle to come back from UM cerokote.

Little comparison info

Uncalibrated scale difference shows approx 3.3oz difference without the turret caps

The form factor does feel a bit smaller in hand, I think mainly due to the lack of parallax knob. Overall pretty close. I may consider trading the 3-9 for a 15x because I like to zoom in and measure rocks lol

Side note, clicks on the gen two 15x are much better than the older gen 1 I had. But that’s a sample size of 1

The diopter adjust design does not work with the Butler 14 flip up scope cover I was using on my fixed 10X. What size fits the 3x15 Gen 2? Is it Butler 16 ocular?

I measured the diameter of the ribbed ocular at almost exactly 43 mm. Ordered a 16 and an 18 Butler Creek to see which fits best. Anyone who has used these will know that they are flexible and can stretch a bit. Will report back.

Sorry no help there. I hardly ever use scope protectors, when I do, it’s a cheap neoprene cover

My Gen2 10x has way more defined clicks. Nothing like the mushy Gen1, which never bothered me honestly but it is a noticeable difference.

My 3-9x and 10x gen2 came in last night and now I just have to stick with the plan to allocate them appropriately.

If your plan is working, it's probably an ambush!!!

Good luck sticking to the plan.
