Re: S&B 3-20 lead time

I ordered one 3-20 last January , this is the email I got from my friend at S&B Germany last week :

Hi ,
well, we are still facing some sub-supplier problems and do not have all parts to start production, therefore delivery will be delayed, honestly speaking I don’t feel you will get this scope before August/September…
Sorry for these bad news.

PP out

That's too bad. I have been looking forward to both scopes as I am sure many others have. Oh well guess I can wait. Patience is a virtue right? LOL

I called S&B USA yesterday about another matter (reticle swap) and when I asked about the 3-20x the gentleman I spoke to told me the same thing.

Tough to wait, but I'd rather they get everything right before shipping. Guess I'll have to try to "get by" with my 5-25x until then.

I'll believe a delivery time that they give when one actually ships...

This is making my decision between a 5-25 and 3-20 easier.

I'll just have to get a diff S+B now and I'll have plenty of time to save up for the 3-20
