Thanks for the heads up. I also ordered one. I have never tried a fixed scope before, but have been wanting one. Can't beat the price.

Dave For $100 bucks, who cares.

A few guys have posted positive experiences on this site, others not.
My point was you can buy four of these for the same price as a new FX111 6x42.

If it would help you, I can buy a couple and send them to you. You'd have to pay shipping/insurance twice, but I'd be happy to get them and send them to you. I have a PayPal account that you could pay into and then I could order them. I ordered 3 earlier today and they charged me $12.00 for shipping, so it would probably cost another $12 to $15 to get them from Omaha to where you are in Canada. remguy260 msn.com Jeff pm sent

Thank you gentlemen,
I just ordered the 6X42 in matte. I am laughing at myself as I was prepared to order a 6X42 FXIII.
With a 95% light transmission, and a claimed 98% from the FXIII the 4X price was a no brainer. Now the hiccup. I have a Win 70 with Talley rings that have outside ring space of 5.25 inches. The FXIII was 5.4" and would have left 1/16" on each side for a mount. Not much, but enough.
Does anybody know if this will fit the Win 70 or what the main tube length is?
And thanks for letting a member know about a great deal.

I have one mounted on an FN Mauser, looks like it would fit on my Model 70 but I haven't tried it.

Dave I googled this up, if it helps. I've never needed to use the warranty for any of my Nikon products. Nikon Warranty Nikon is dedicated to quality, performance and total customer satisfaction. If any Nikon riflescope is found to have defects in workmanship or materials, we will, at our option, repair or replace it at no charge, even if you are not the original owner. No time limit applies and no warranty card is required. Call 1-800-247-3464 (literature) or 1-800-NIKON-US (technical information) or 1-800-NIKON-SV (service) or check out Nikon on the web at www.nikonusa.com

I wonder how many of these things SWFA have in stock. They are probably going to show up at work tomorrow, and wonder what hit them!

LOL! I hope mine come in!
I once ordered a 4200 4-16 off of a website that had them mispriced for $200. A guy called and explained the situation. Wouldn't go through with it, even through I had the printed reciept.

Dang! That would suck. If this turns out to be one of those deals, Chris Farris will be ready to kill his webmaster!

Hope this works out for you all. I ordered from SWFA the last time they clearanced the Monarchs in 3-9's for cheap and put my order in from the web. The order went through fine but just sat on backorder status. I called them about once a week for a month when they finally said they wouldn't be getting any more and my order most likely wouldn't be filled. I left it open about 6 months and it never was filled. If you talk to them on the phone they don't have any in stock, so if this mimmicks my experience you all will have a bunch of orders but they will never be filled. Hopefully you get lucky and the phone guys are wrong, but my experience dictates otherwise. I kind of wonder if they do this to try to get people to order a different one in stock?
Good Luck! HH
