Would you buy this scope?

[Nine Banger]

I called and asked that it be checked before shipping. I don’t know if it’ll dial past one rev yet, but at least it focuses

I was thinking "moose tag odds".

I think you were in... that is until you said "clips."

He's probably referencing the fact that Ryan and Jake say 'clips' for laughs on the podcast ...

The SWFA 3-9x is a great scope for what you want. Yes, maybe the S2H scope will be “better”, but for your specific uses, I would get the 3-9x and then later get another scope if you want. The SWFA will sell easily enough.

Appreciate the advice Form, I’ll still keep tabs on the project. Honestly. Might buy both. Sell the one I don’t like. Look forward to any future projects. I’d definitely throw some money at S2H for a 2-8

Not 100% decided yet. They are going to get a lot of use very quickly, and we’ll know if there’s an issue. With what is inside these things, I highly doubt that there will be. They are not $1,000 scopes inside. They have what according to LOW is the most durable erector system and components they can make in a scope like this.

Damn. I'm ready to make a deposit today if that's the case.

The reticle tells my brain what my eye needs to look at?????

Not literally ... but in one sense, yes - almost.

Thomas's last few posts and the ZP5 Q@A thread have some fascinating information about the brain / eye / perception / attention / reticle connections ...

Damn. I'm ready to make a deposit today if that's the case.

If the mayhem that has been going on in this thread is any indication, a fair few have deposited already

Where can you buy a SWFA 3-9?

Until they get another drop at SWFA, keep an eye on the Classifieds here. They come up at reasonable prices fairly regularly.

I was debating selling mine. But after sending my Minox off for repair, I'll probably hang onto mine at least until I get the Minox back.

So I may have missed it, what's the latest sitrep? When can I order one and when should I expect to get it? Would be a perfect scope for my Mid-Sept high country muley hunt in CO this year.

That’s kinda where I was at.

I didn’t know that Jedi mind tricks would help me kill stuff, until I did.

I could be wrong, and I'm sure not everyone will agree, but I think expecting to have this scope on a September hunt is extremely optimistic. I think Form said once the order is placed the manufacturer will take 6 months. So that's end of July if S2H ordered a first run today, and I don't think it's unreasonable to believe they won't be doing that for another month or two at least.

 

[Laramie]

Do we know where they will be sold? I would like to reserve a spot in line for one.

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.

That's why I hate when the SWFA recommendation keeps getting repeated. It's unobtainum unless you camp out on the internet.

Hell, I almost qualify as a Rokslide camper and I've never seen one available. I'm dropping MOA ,so I need two scopes to bridge the gap to the S2H release. I'm not dropping Minox coin so yeah I'll keep an eye on classifieds. I plan on picking up a SFP Triji as well.

Rats. I'm gonna wind up with an NX6 for that hunt I guess.

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

I have a very lightly used (range trips only) 3-9 HD if you are wanting one. I ordered a few when they had their last drop.

....and three scammers trying to sell you one from IP addresses in India.

3-9's are on fleabay pretty much every week
SWFA clears out demo models a lot
