[align=left]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.[/align]

By the way, I ordered the Nikon Monarch 2-7*32mm for about $220 including shipping. The cheapest I could find anywhere else was about $260 from MidSouth Shooting Supplies excluding shipping.
Again, SWFA has a terrific sale going on FWIW.

SWFA has always had a good rep, from comments noted on several websites over the years. Chris (assuming it's the same Chris from SWFA), handled optics questions at the defunct Shooters.com forums several years ago and seems to know his stuff.
I've been fairly lucky at finding optics locally at good prices, so have never used them yet.

Well, personally I've had no desire to buy from them since they registered the site theopticszone.com which is just one letter different than another site called theopticzone.com. I thought that was a little low class, though I'm sure it's probably done all the time. Besides, there are other places you can buy optics, including the aforementioned theopticzone.com, that have prices and service that are just as good if not better.

I just bought a monarch(nikon) 3x9x40 from swfa. I had it in 3 days from Texas. The service was fast and didn't have a problem at all. Seem to be a really good company.

SWFA has a great deal, but I think you got my scope.I ordered mine a few days after you and you apparently got the last one in stock. I'm sure your brother will like it. If not, let me know and I'd be glad to take it off his hands.
