SWFA, what’s the deal?

Looks like I missed the boat with this shipment. Those of you that own 3-9s already, does the lack of parallax bother you any?

No

I take it I missed this one? How long have backorders typically taken with those that have ordered in the past?

 

[gbflyer]

It wouldn’t give me any shipping options online, probably because I wanted it shipped to a PO Box. They didn’t seem to have problem over the phone though.

I put in our typical Bush AK make - believe physical (you probably know the drill) then my PO Box on the line below that. It would not accept PO Box only. After that the shipping options were opened up.

Their site is a little weird.

I ordered my 3x9 on Nov 15th for $487.47. My credit card was charged on Dec 30th for $427.48 (they gave me current the 30% off price). I received the order on Jan 2nd.

Similar story, I expect that gesture will earn some good will to offset the ridiculous backorder period lately (did with me).

On another note, OMG! the box is fancy and not white.

Should be no shortage of reviews and general commentary on the 3-9 in the coming weeks.

[Opens the box] "Looks good"
[Mounts to rifle] "Looks great"
[Drop test?] "Why would I abuse my scope like that when Form already did that?!?!?"

So about a year for me…

I was doing that but it kept a saying they had no options. Again I’m not worried just wondering how to get 8 dollar shipping.

Anyone know which size Butler Creek caps these 3-9’s take?

That’s what I was afraid of. Want to pick one up, but don’t want to wait a year for it.

I ordered 12/30/22 and it shipped 1/3/23. Not sure if they are still in stock but if so they seem to be shipping fast.

They are not in stock anymore. I ordered mine on 1/1/23, and then called and talked to them on 1/3/23 to confirm my scope wasn’t getting backordered and was told they are sold out.

Yep, I had multiple back orders I couldn't remember. Of course I jumped on it when I saw they were in stock. Ended up with 3 arriving....all at the latest price. Was a nice move by them.

The box surprised me. I'm fine with meat and potatoes, but they spiced it up.

 

[Deywalker]

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone have info on this?

I had one sent in for warranty, just got the call that they aren't ordering any more of them and got 600 dollars of credit.

Didn't they cost around $1k new? You are talking about the 1-6 HD, right?

Double what? I placed a backorder last night, and they've told other people the next shipment is in 30-60 days

Yep, I bought mine used for $900 with a larue mount
