What’s funny to me is the sale pricing. I bet they could’ve re-stocked after the sale and upped them all to $700 and sold the whole shipment in a day.

Yeah I bet this is the last time they do that.
Bet they charge you in full for back orders that is.
They gave up alot of money on this one.
But good on them for doing the rite thing.

I have absolutely no need for one of these but you guys have me wanting to buy one. I have been more than satisfied with my 3–15s but I may have to give them a call tomorrow. 😬 I saw mention of the new turret numbering, what’s changed there?

Ok. I’m too lazy or losing my mind. What in my order email or on the site should give me comfort that my order is in, and not back ordered, short of calling them? I don’t remember being asked for my middle initial (or giving it), but I have an account and have ordered successfully (!) before.

Are you guys plunking me?

My bank card has my middle initial on it. I sometimes get spurts where it is very finicky of that is in the info, and sometimes not. My wife has no middle initial on hers, and never had the issue. I think it is a "me" problem and not a SWFA problem (happens religiously at Rock Auto).

I'd just be patient or call Wendy tomorrow.

I’m so impatient that when I first read this sentence, I read “or call” as “and call” and thought to myself, “wait until tomorrow is patient? My man!”

Their system rejected my first card when I placed my back order some time ago but accepted another. No phone call or email for me. My account order status indicates processing. Under the view order tab it indicates shipped with a tracking #. Then the fun police just asked what the Hell this SWFA charge is on the card as she gets text alerts. Haha.

Their system is weird. Probably slammed too. Nice folks. Dealt with them for years.

I love the 10x's like everybody else loves the 6x. I have two and I'll never get rid of them.
I may call and see if I can tack a 6X onto my 10X order. Then decide which one will be best for what I want. Don’t think it would take me long to sell the other if need be.

Just call them if in doubt.
I seriously hate calling any body for anything.
It's a last resort for me.
And I found it easy and pleasant.
I'm getting to be the same way, which is something I give my kids crap about. I will call because I can't discern any differences in my two orders - 6x on 12/28 (which I think we believe is a definite backorder) and the 3-9 ordered today. The emails are the same, the status on the website is the same, and the CC was charged each of those days.

Wait. Does that mean the 6x is coming too?!

Well like I said previously at 0937 Pacific time today she told me the website was glitchy and they had 100
3-9s in stock after filling back orders.

And a couple hours after that I got a 3-9 in stock alert.
Yeah, but I'm trying to turn my "worry" (I'm not losing sleep - just spare time on my hands) into lemonade, as now I'm convince the 6X is NOT on backorder and they are both coming soon! Now I *must* proceed with my RSS Build.
