you don't have to tell me ... I'm the one that talked with Nikon myself about the 'supply' of scopes ...

but, in an effort to be totally objective and honest, here is what Nikon told me when I talked with them ... to paraphrase:

"We have long since shipped out all of our supply/inventory of the 'older style' Monarch 6x42 and 4x40 scopes. But, we are not the sole 'supplier' of these to the dealers, as there are other sources that may very well still have some in stock, and be able to supply SWFA with some to help fill their orders."

So, SWFA might not have literally meant that they were receiving them from Nikon USA ... they may have just chosen their words poorly - and instead could have just said "One of our suppliers has some, and will be sending enough to fill our back orders." ...

like I keep saying ... we'll see ...
