Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Black Friday SWFA Sale ! ! !

Most Japanese OEMs these days either have additional factories in the Phillipines, or alliances with Phillipine makers.

Of the SWFA SS line, the only Phillipine assembled scope so far is the 1-4x24. However, unless I am misunderstanding something, it is built by the same company that builds the rest of the SS Classic scopes in Japan. The build the components in their facility in Japan and assemble it in their facility in the Phillipines.

i wish I knew the Sightron SIII moa-2's were on such a great sale on black friday. By the time I found out, all the 8-32s were gone, I was able to snag two 6-24s for a great price. Over the last few years I replaced 6 or 7 Nightforces with them and have zero complaints.
I wanted to try the 1-4, but had just grabbed a VERY cheap Eotech at the last gun show and all my ARs have optics already.

You understood correctly ILya. The only SS scope assembled in the Philippines is the 1-4.

I was told that they (SWFA) sold way more scopes than they had projected.

My order status is pending, whatever exactly that means.

I'm by no means worried and know it will arrive but order that Friday, CC charged, and no word yet.

My only complaint with SWFA is every time I order the items are on back order. I don't know why they can't just tell you when you order. Other than that they have always been great. I am up to 6-SWFA scopes now, can't beat them.....

Remember the $99 Nikon 6x42 fiasco? Nothing new for SWFA...

Perhaps my sarcasm didn't shine thru. I am sure they were flooded with orders and a 48 hour turn in those circumstances is actually quite amazing.

I ordered 3 scopes and received a shipping confirmation Tuesday. From the sounds of the number of orders placed, I am more than happy with that.I ordered some items from other vendors and received shipping confirmation either Monday or Tuesday. I have ordered from SWFA in the past and have never had a bad experience with them.

Part of the problem with some delays was from them moving into a much bigger building not too long ago. That also caused some delay with some of the new scope models that will be coming out as well

You guys must be a bunch of the self-entitled millenials the way you whine. Jesus.

I've got a 10X thats buck naked except for the numbers. Probably worth thousands, if not millions.

I'll let it go to a collector for $500

I had no problems at all with them. I did not wait until the last minute. My scopes were shipped and are tied up in the stupid postal dis-service somewhere. UPS sends small items to the postal for delivery to rural addresses. That just plain pisses me off, because it delays everything at least a full day.

Seems any mis on the information occured a year ago. I'll live with the sticker since he's already gifted me a few Benjamins.

Ordered online Friday at 12:01. Called later and they let me add another scope, pay the difference on a different card - effectively combining postage. Pleasant ladies on the phone. In-hand on Wednesday. No complaints.

Yes last year it did not have a made in philly sticker. Not sure regards if the scopes are the same.

I ordered mine at 7 am Friday morning. Got an email Monday saying the Seekins long action 0 MOA rail was back ordered. Everything else shipped. Heck of a deal on Seekins rings and rails...

The scopes work. I care not where it was assembled.

Or if it takes a few weeks to get delivered.

If you want to complain about shipping, order from Palmetto State

Looks like the postman should be delivering mine tomorrow, happy happy, joy joy

Excellent point; and, one could always contact them and cancel the order if one is unwilling to wait for the backorder to be filled.
