Default SWFA?

Purchased a scope from this company through the Internet on Friday. Email from them today says the scope is on backorder. Anybody have good or bad experiences with this company? I'm not worried yet, but it's my first purchase from them.

I have made one purchase from them. No problem! I'm sure you will get your order as soon as they get a new shipment in!

I have had very good luck with them,having bought several scopes from them. Shoot them an email and ask if they have an ETA.

Thanks all. Good to hear the positive feedback about this company. I'll sit tight, be patient and have a little faith that they'll deliver. Gotta say they had the best price by a wide margin.

I've bought five scopes throughSWFA with no problems, a easy company to deal with . I have had two scopes on order from another company myself for over two months now soI know how you feel.

Well, I have not purchased from them, as I have found some better prices and / orfree shipping for some scopes and a range finder I have been wanting and finallygotat other places, www.theopticzone.com and www.durhamoutdoorsupply.com , but since the end of the year has just passed ( year end inventory control ) and hunting seasons have mostly ended, I would not be suprised that some things are out of stock right now. With that said, I would not be too worried. I have heard that they are very reputable to deal with.

Also, halcon, If you don't mind my asking, where have you ordered scopes from that you have been waiting 2 months? I would like to know the name of the place, just for my own future reference. 2 months seems a bit excessive to have to wait.

God Bless

I have not had any business dealings with them at this point. I have "spoken" with a gentleman named "Chris" that adminsters their optics forum. He has always been very knowledgable and helpful in regards to optics.

I've purchased several scopes from them over the last few years. No issues what-so-ever. You should be fine.
