Fuggit'... just ordered a fixed 6x for my daughters .223 and a 1-6 donut of death Illuminati for me to play with. Between SWFA, Cabelas, PSA, and Primary Arms this has been one hell of a Black Friday & Saturday!  The 6x is really nice. I love mine.

Looking for a scope to mount on a SW 15-22. Suggestions? The 6x or the 10x (not the 10x HD version) would work great I'm trying the 1-4x24. For $299 it's hard to not try it...

I ended up ordering 2 of of the 1-4s for a couple 15-22s. Might out one on an fullsize AR.
Damn hard not to buy a bunch of things I don't NEED but really wanted to try.

I caved and bought another 12x Mil-Quad. I bought one on sale last year and it did well in its intended use before being sold off, so I figured I'd try it again.

Going to try a 6x42 on my M70 in DD's and see WTF. No sense in trying to make that boat anchor any lighter.

I ordered the SS 10x with Side Focus, Mil Ret, and Mil Adjustments. 50 buck off, free SS rings and bubble level.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Same with the 1-6x24 I ordered.
SWFA has this situation a lot (and not just during their sales). Not that difficult to tie their inventory in with their website orders. That way when they're out of inventory, it's reflected on their online order page, and it can't be added to checkout and tie up your CC balance.

How do they handle out-of-stock orders? Do they put it on backorder or cancel the order? What if you order other items that are in stock? Do they ship those at the time of purchase? Do they charge another shipping fee when the backordered item's shipped?

The 6x's are in stock. The other 10X MMQ's (side focus/parallax) are ordered and are scheduled to be in stock in two weeks or so.

Seriously SWFA, step into the 21st Century and get an up to date automated inventory system. I don't mind backordering something if I KNOW it's going to be backordered. What I DON'T like is having my CC charge for something that is NOT in stock and NO IDEA when it will be in stock.

This is my first time ordering from this company and I'm not happy they excepted my money knowing the item wasn't in stock without informing me up front before placing the order.

It really is this easy. "Please cancel my order and reinstate the funds to my card, I decided not to save hundreds of dollars." Life is too short to sweat this crap. Cancel the friggin orders and move on.
I understand that tons of people waited to buy SWFA scopes for these crazy low prices, so if my order takes significantly longer than normal I really don't care. YMMV. And having my card hit now makes no difference to me. My savings account is returning .001 interest so I'll survive them having my money for a bit.
I have had nothing but good experiences with SWFA on their SS scopes and many off their samplelist.com site. To expect the Black Friday shopping experience to come off without a hitch is expecting a little much in my opinion.
And I would rather be able to backorder a SS scope at $259 then be told "sorry, we sold out at that price and the offer is no longer valid."
