Curly,

I initially contacted Stephanie at SWFA. She offered me the 25% discount after determining where I would have been on the wait list. After the phone conversation, I received an email from her informing me of the same. If you look for my post above, I noted when I placed my order. If you ordered a matte finish scope after me, then you might be too far down the list for a matte finished Nikon. If you ordered a gloss finish, then your place on the wait list might be different.
