Made in Japan with zero stop, and option for capped turrets (still bulky though) or larger turrets, with the same durable guts at ~$400 will still be a deal especially if there are any improvements to the optics.

You know, for all of our skepticism, wouldn't it be hilarious if Ryan and Form had somehow teamed up with SWFA and managed to keep it quiet ... and we had an SWFA 3-9 with better glass and the THLR reticle.

At under 20oz, cheaper, and with a superior reticle, it could give the RS 1.2 a run for its money ...

I'm hoping they do something awesome on Black Friday like ship all you guys a new scope that have backorders for the price you agreed to pay when backordering
That's a little bit of a wildcard because they have always said they would contact BOs to see if they still wanted it, and then get payment. I know the card I used when ordering expired a long time ago. They seem to be a standup company, but it has crossed my mind that all BOs get cancelled because that model has been replaced with a new model.

Yes that's more likely. . Surely they're aware that people are angry due to that situation and would like to appease the crowd in some way

For the folks that are interested in ordering a news SWFA next Friday, I have an in-store credit from a scope warranty that I’d be willing to pass along at a discount. If I don’t get any interest here, I’ll post a WTS ad in the optics classifieds. PM me if interested.

I just looked at it only has two scopes listed in the SS line - the 2.5-10 and the 1-4 and 3-9 with everything else discontinued. They also directly link people to buy over here

Would be great if something real popped back up - but how can they really make up for two years of backorders?

It would be easy if they had every backordered scope in stock plus the warranty scopes. If you assume that a certain percentage of the backorders say no then they will have sufficient inventory.
This is assuming SWFA actually has inventory to sell this Friday.

If they have backordered scopes in stock right now and are making people who have waited over a year wait until black Friday, well, they lost me as a customer forever. And I had one of the original fixed 10x SS rear focus scopes waaaaay before they were a thing.

I would be mad as I am one of those people. The 3-9 unfortunately checks all the boxes for a scope on a gun I don’t use too often.

I have a 6x sitting on my 223 that I was planning to swap for rs1.2 but I’ll hold out until the weekend to see. Of course I’m about to just jump to a minox for that reticle
