Oh Sh*t! I thought they said the next batch wouldn't go out until end of Sept! I've been spending money from that account and don't have enough right now to cover the scope...ordered 6/7! Oops.

This is just a very small batch that was short from the first shipment.

The real "next" batch is still on schedule for late September.

COfox,

PM me your order number and I will make sure you don't ship out of this batch.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

Looks like I have a lot of mounting and zeroing to do next week... just received an email that the 5 I ordered on 6/6 are shipping. That also means I'll have the scope in-hand and ready to go by the time my AI AE gets here in about 6 weeks (hopefully.) Once again, thanks to LL & SWFA for making this happen.

YAHOOO!!!!

Order made 06/7/2011 at 12:00AM (According to an email i just received)

Just shipped! Only 6 days after my birthday so it still feels like my birthday!

Thank you LL and SWFA, you both are awesome!

**NOTE**

According to SWFA, they had a small shipment of scopes that were supposed to be part of the first batch and didn't come in time. So some of us got lucky. Their real next batch is scheduled to arrive end of September.

Re:/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

No not really BUT I've looked through them both. My friend bought the SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 group buy. He also bought either a Niko Stirling or NcStar 6x24x50 for I think under $250.00. Yes the SS hd was better but not buy a $1,000+ bucks.The adjustments weren't crisp on SS HD . Sure it was FFP had a nice look. But for sure my Weaver 3x15x50 FFP EMDR Glass-etched reticle ( Enhanced Mil-Dot ranging)Has superior optics I've had a IOR 2.5x10x42mm I think it compares with that easily. It has both red&green Illumination . The adjustments are ultra crisp all the adjustment lines line up perfectly. Its mil mil all for under $750 bucks.

All this from an MIT study? They studied your Weaver?

Its 8:00 PM here in NV it sucks up more light on 8x then my Sightron S3 8x32x56mm. Amazing the difference between the two.Paid nearly a $100 bucks more for the S3.

Looking through both is different than actually trying both out and owning both of them without having a bias. I have seen several of your posts and it seems to me that you are just trying to justify how awesome your new Weaver is to yourself. I owned the Weaver EMDR, it was very nice for the price but I have a feeling the SWFA scope will be better though I could be wrong.

You mention the adjustments of the SS HD not being crisp, the Weaver is downright mushy in comparison to high end tactical scopes I have tried but it has locking turrets so it wasn't an issue for me. I personally think the reticle on the SS HD is better as well. Before you say I am being biased as well I will tell you I am not as I might not even keep the SS HD when I get it, I went ahead and got a Premier 5-25x56 for my TRG the other week. The Weaver is extremely nice for the price though, don't get me wrong.

He just bought a Weaver and is obviously very emotionally invested in it. Just check all his posts to confirm.

Re:/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

I've owned the Weaver EMDR, SIII, and the SS. Weaver glass doesn't compare, especially in low light. Not bashing the Weaver as its a great scope, but its glass is nowhere close to the SS HD. The Sightron and SS are very close with the slight edge going to the Sightron. The SS is brighter, but contrast is better with the SIII.

That's what I was going to say. He has several other posts asking what a "Mil" is (essentially) and another one for "What is one click at 100 meters using Mil MIL out of FFP scope ?"

I think Iron Worker is exactly that - emotionally invested in his new scope. Besides, we all know that 'the scope you just bought' is always the best one in the world, right?
 
#2,120
Re:/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

I've owned the Weaver EMDR, but returned it because it was too big for the rifle I wanted it on. I liked everything on the scope, but I feel the 50mm objective hinders it. A 40-42mm objective wouldn't effect it too much at 15X and would make it much more appealing. Mine tracked well, but I'm not a fan of locking turrets either. Not the EMDR's in particular, but any locking turrets in general.

Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

. I have the S3 and while to my eyes its better then the 2.5x16x50mm Elite 6500. Others felt the 6500 had the edge over the S3. I think the Weaver's glass is better then both. Equal to the IOR I had, Its a subjective thing to some extent. I looked through a Swarvoski Z6 its glass nearly took my breath away,$2500 dollar scope also..... This is my first MIL FFP scope so needed to ask the hide about mils compared to MOA.

I have never looked through and know nothing about Weavers. I appreciate the opinion offered that he likes his scope. Hope I like my SS 5-20 as much (I'm sure it will be the best in the world). June 16th order and am chomping at the bit to get it. Did ask SWFA last week about mounting on my Bobro and was told by the way they planned to have those listed as backorder filled by the end of Sept. Of course, as always, I see the world through the lower left corner of the big picture.

Oh wait, it's top secret because it's dealing with an NC Star and a Weaver Tactical, huh? Probably can't see it. Darn, maybe I'll read it through the shitty glass on my SS HD...BTW - the Weaver's are awesome for the price. I'll be waiting for my copy of the study. Thanks.

Re:/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

I bought two of the SS 5-20 and wish I had the money to buy 5, they make my sightron SIII 8-32 and 6-24 look like crap. Comparing them to the weaver and Ncstar is a joke, and not even funny. You get what you pay for, spending good money on a crappy scope is a waste of hard earned cash, don't do it.
hope this helps.

You hope that helps? Its doesn't. Not even in the slightest. What it does do is show your pure ignorance on the matter of which you are speaking. Comparing the new 3-15 Weaver tactical to Ncstar? Calling the Weaver crap? Maybe take a look at one of those "crappy" new Weavers before you spout off something like this and come off looking like, well, I'll leave it at that... My 2 cents.

Funny that you made this comment about someone comparing the SS to the new Weaver, both good scopes, then you compare the Weaver to a shit airsoft scope company like NCstar...

Dude why the hell are you raging on attherange he stated that the Weaver Tactical and the Ncstar comparing to a SS is a joke! And that there not near as good as the SS you smart one. What he said crap about was the Sightron scopes that HE OWNS!!! A little understanding goes a long way. Also it was Iron Work that started the comparing the Weaver to the SS.

No need to get your panties in a twist there, tiger. I'm willing to bet he's never looked through the new Weaver either, so how does he know it is "crappy", as he himself put it. He is just emotionally invested in his new SS, and thus got heated and emotional when he saw someone compare it to the Weaver, which he knows nothing about but assumed is crap and on par with ncstar. I pointed that out. I also made the same comment (about emotional investment) to Iron Worker, regarding the weaver, if you hadn't noticed.

Fair enough then
laugh.gif
I personally have looked through both and actually plan on getting the weaver. I have seen reviews though from John here that the weaver did have some tracking error where the SS in the review by Frank had no error and was right on. These are two different companies and also different price ranges.

Right on, it is hard to compare a scope like the weaver to the SS which costs twice as much. I also vaguely remember the post you are referring to about the slight error on the weaver tracking. I think it translated to about 1/4 inch at 1000 yards or something around that. I think you'll like the weaver. Is it a Hensoldt? No. But I think its one of the better bangs for the buck out there currently going by retail price. (the SS seems like a hell of a bang for the buck for the cats who got it for the group buy price though!)

I'm still waiting for this ACME study that placed the SS against the NC Star. I think it's probably a real scientific deal too, you know, it being "ACME" and all. It was probably peer reviewed by Wiley Coyote. Some of the shit that people come up with nowadays.

Don't feed the trolls... it's easier if you just ignore them.

There is an easily recognizable affiliation to the guys I got into it with over the turret alignment issue, so this is his version of payback against me for banning the pot stirrers.

Anyone who has spent any time behind a scope for real knows the difference, guys come on all the time asking why spend $2k plus when they think their NcStar is just as good.

So, just ignore these guys.

Some of the stuff is just so idiotic Frank that I just can't help myself, and have to try stating the facts. Then again that's feeding them! I guess I will have to keep it at my SS scope lines up fine and its one damn good scope and even worth $2000 in my books.

Picked mine up in person Friday! Removed my SS 3x9 mildot and replaced with this SS 5x20 in my Bobro mount. The optics and reticle are very nice. I could resolve .223 hits on manila targets at 300yds Sunday morning. Thanks to LL and SWFA for the group buy and thanks to CFII for dealing with me. Terrific CS!

You really let someone do that?

While there was no rule against it, I feel that is taking advantage of SWFA, especially since the sale will be competing against SWFA.

Yeah, it is 'OK', and will make no difference to the SWFA bottom line, but I think it perverts the spirit of the deal.

Just my own opinion, and often I have goofy ideas of ethics and honor, so don't mind me.

I think it is brilliant AND honorable.

He takes his 11K dollars for 11 scopes:

1) Basically gets his for free

2) Provides 10 late in the game shooters with the SS SWFA GB scope that they thought they missed out on... what a way to put a smile on 10 more shooter's faces with only a 10% late fee. Hell, it was HIS upfront monies that made it happen

3) Those 10 people tell others of their kewl good fortune and get the SWFA SS brand name out into the world even farther

I'd share a bottle of excellent bourbon with the man.

There are enough shooters out there that missed out on the buy I guarantee you they will sell quick. Compare that to buying for full price now! It's called enterprising!
