Would you buy this scope?

[benconfused]

...but do keep your eyes open for a restock on the 6x MQ Gen2. Might show up in this thread, but no guarantees.

I actually just emailed them about this one.

 

[Gstew1930]

Yeah and these 2 are in stock and very good too. Sleepers really compared to the 2 that get purchased aggressively.

SS 3-15x42 30mm MQ GEN 2 - Zero Stop

In sub-zero temperatures or searing desert heat (-50 degrees to +130 degrees Fahrenheit, and altitudes of 30,000 feet to depths of 15 feet in salt water) the waterproof, shockproof, fogproof SS performs. Whatever the weapon, from .223 to .50 BMG, the SS handles the recoil. Whatever the target...

The 10x is great

We gotta stop. We're being too rational.

 

[dreamingWest]

I get that for the fixed 6x, but their other scopes have been in stock and readily available for the last several months. The 3-9x sold out on their Black Friday deal, but up until then, they were in stock and ready to ship

Fair enough. I wasn't shopping then.

 

[ckt3]

Post a WTB ad for one and I bet you have one in a week.

Worked for me. 3-9x and a gen 2 6x. Also there’s a 3-9 on eBay right now.

Lol its not real common for me

It is ZeroTech. The story is interesting.

And they were used to kill 10 deer today.

Interesting, my posts were just removed calling out the S2H podcast that was publicly posted...

Not sure what I did wrong there.

That was my bad; someone posted a scope from IG that wasn't the S2H scope, I deleted it and two other posts somehow....

Try again - S2H podcast today talks about Scope details and ordering timelines (not actual ordering process). Confirmed it is ZT.

RS Lite was discussed as well.

Start at 14:40.

Thanks Form and Ryan for all your work on this.

Given the swfa business model, you'll probably be able to get the s2h scope before they come back in stock on the 3-9.

I was really bummed when I found out pretty much right before I started looking for scopes that they were in stock for Black Friday and I barely missed it. I’ve been eyeing the website ever since. Even sent an email asking about it. No response. Time will tell. I saw a post saying posting WTB posts on here invites a lot of spam and scam artists so if you were going to do it, be aware. So I’ve held off on that. Saw the one on eBay. Maybe.

And one was just posted today.

There’s about to be two more SWFA scopes hitting the classifieds. It’s a cycle around here.

Can you share the cliffsnotes on the timelines for the scope and stock?

It's just what they've said here.

Whenever they open up orders it'll take 6 months to produce. LOW requires FULL payment before it leaves Japan from the buyer (would assume that's ZT > UM, but those details were not discussed). They don't want to make the same RS ordering mistakes.

After that 6 months, I believe Jake said 10 days to arrive in UM's hands on the US side.

All this is still is contingent on when the order is actually placed, any changes that are to be made to its final form, etc.

They will setup a pre-order (implying that is assuming for us Roksliders).

It's worth a listen to hear for yourself because it includes some of the (high level) story points Form called out this evening. LOW seemed to know exactly what to do to fix the side impact and overall design, and was very aware of the Drop test eval.

Scope will be available to touch at Hunt Expo.

RS Lite orders will open up first day of Hunt Expo (online) - same ordering process as regular RS.

Don’t really check the classifieds. I know that’s a big draw for a lot of people here but honestly unless I know the person, I can meet physically, or if I have no other choice I don’t really buy from classifieds like this. I come here mostly to learn a bit more about gear or find some new stuff to practice. I also don’t have an immediate need for the scope so it’s not something I’ve been looking for very seriously. Hence why I was considering jumping on board for a S2H that could potentially be here maybe July August time frame. But I’ll start paying attention more to it. Maybe. July is about when the relative need will become an immediate need. Although I’d prefer to have one by May time frame so I can have some real time behind the glass for this upcoming season.

Not related to the S2H scope timeline, but @Ajsomp is in the group of folks I'd happily buy from again, and I even purchased from him based off a WTB ad I posted for a hard-to-find item. A quick perusal of a poster's history can give you an idea of the type of person you're dealing with.
