Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

I'm thrilled to see these actually shipping. I didn't order until 5/31 and am still waiting for both the 1-6 or 5-20.

 

[catalyst]

Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

don't get me wrong - i'm glad they are shipping... but these seem to be going out in a really slow trickle. I thought it was implied that they would be sending these out in good-sized batches?

probably you are correct, however, without an authoritative comment from SWFA this is hard to judge when we don't know:

1.) # of orders placed
2.) % of people who ordered monitoring this thread
3.) % of people who ordered monitoring this thread taking the time to post pictures or order details

Yeah who knows? Could be non promo deal people who've been ordering all this time are getting 1st priority, even if they ordered a minute ago. But I kind find that hard to believe thats the position we promo people are placed. But all I can tell is that so far only the pre-promo people have been getting them, which is only right. Seems like a trickle as they come in.

Makes me wonder how long does it take to mass produce a batch of scopes? One scope? I have no idea. Seems like once they get going they would pour in, but I have no idea what it takes to get a scope out. Oh well......


GearHead, nice rig you have there!!!

I hit "submit" within the first 20 seconds or less after the promo for the 1-6 only went active... scope shipped 2/1 and will be here tomorrow.

Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

I ordered mine in early May.

Here's SWFA's response today:

<span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-style: italic">Good afternoon,

With only getting a few in we are sorry to say we do not have the time frame as to when the rest will arrive so we can get them to the customers.

Thank you.

Just received mine today with Bobro/SWFA mount and Butler Creek lens caps. Putting it on a Colt 6940 with Matech Buis. With Butler Creeks on there is no clearance for that particular Buis so have to mount it a little more forward than I might otherwise. Workable however. One minor complaint...I received no paperwork whatsoever for the scope (ie. operating instructions and warranty/registration). Anyone else have same issue. Scope looks darn nice from preliminary lookover. No turret covers for the windage and elevation turrets but I think that was addressed earlier. SWFA logo cover on other turret.

Thanks Casey. My first SWFA and first illuminated. I've had a little time to play with it now and I must say I am very impressed. I complained a little early on about customer service (communication) and it is water under the bridge now. From what I can see, this scope is worth the wait. I think everyone will be very happy with it.

OK, getting better acquainted now. Scope just barely clears Matech Buis with Bobro mount and can be mounted where wanted. I like this scope....A LOT. Illuminated reticle is outstanding.

And I purchased within seconds of the 5-20 & 1-6 combo promo going live. I'd have to imagine I'd be one of the first from that next batch.

I will keep you all updated as to when I get a change in order status.

Folk from the very first batch when the 1-6 coupon went live are just getting scopes and you are in the 5-20 & 1-6 batch and you think you are next? I like your optimism.

ETA: I just checked my order number, and if they are consecutive by time, you are a ways into the combo group even.

I was referring to the next batch of customers (IE, those who ordered the combo).

In no way was I implying that I'd get one before the people who ordered *just* the 1-6 or pre-ordered the 1-6.

I imagine I'll be among the first in that batch that get shipped, which is why I said I'd post when my order status changed. Either way, I'll post when my order status changes so we can help order tracking.

Yeah, looks like they're only just into the first few minutes of 1-6 group buy 5000 code orders to be shipped. I ordered after 40 minutes of it going live. Maybe I'll get mine next batch, maybe not. Looks like lots of you guys have a long wait ahead at this speed. But they are coming for sure & it's good to know that intitial reports, from guys who have so far recieved 1-6, are that 1-6 is pretty sweet, or to put it in my own words it's a FUCKEN BADASS SCOPE & worth the wait. Can I say that? Oh shucks if I can't

Oh well be cool, guys, it looks like it really is worth the wait.
Just try to keep that in mind for now, fellas.

You're not the only one who has been skipped. I'm #18818x on 4/26 at 12:19 pm. No notification for me and my account still has it listed as back-ordered. I was alright with the entire waiting process but it is rather frustrating now seeing people who ordered after me getting scopes.

Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

yeah my CC expired during the long wait, but changed it last month . was worried it was going to put my order further back in the que but all was ok.

i was hoping people who upgraded to the 1-6 would start selling their 1-4's at a reasonable price as i need another similar scope for one of my wife's ar's.
