Now that you'all have gotten over your fixed power withdrawl for $100 does anyone have a 4-12X40 Bushnell 3200 or 4200 with Rainguard that you want to sell? Or maybe a Burris FullfieldII?

HH,
They do this I imagine they'll have me and a whole bunch of us on their butts for a long time...
They'll wish they would have never done it...

I just called them. They have none in stock and don't have my order, although their website said it went through. They also said they appeared to be still available but was not sure if they would get anymore and it would be a risk to assume they would. Now to call the credit card folks and be sure the charge does not go on my account. Once more, if it sounds to good to be true............. Oh well, it was worth a try!
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

I just called them also and got the same basic answer:
They said they do not have any in stock right now, and that this scope is a discontinued model (yah, we knew that)... and that they are trying to get some in to fill their orders. They 'expect' to have some in stock within the next few weeks, but don't know how many they will get, or exactly when they will get them. They also said that credit cards will not be charged until the item is in stock, and is shipped to that individual.
TERRIBLE business practice ...

Spoke to a gentleman and he said the same thing. On backorder, he doesn't know when they'll get them and cannot find out any info at all.
I then proceeded to tell him to update the website to illustrate this as folks are being misled and then he got chippy with me. Does not sound good fellas...
Reckon they'll get no more of my business if they pull what I think they're trying to do...

I just called them. The girl on the phone said they had none in stock. I asked her where they were going to get these scopes, since they were discontinued models. She said she did not know, and they wouldn't learn anything for 3 weeks. She did say my card wouldn't be charged until the order is filled. For chits and grins I asked her if I could cancel my order later, if I changed my mind. She seemed to be more than happy to do that! I started buying a few things from SWFA about a year ago. There website was convenient. Also at the time I lived close to them, and I would get things overnight by UPS ground. That was really handy for rings, bases, etc. I think that is going to change drastically. Too many other good people out there to buy from........like Doug. Steve

If only Doug would offer 6x42 Nikons for 99 bucks...

No kidding! Show season is nearly over, so he will probably have some good deals on display models and the like, in the near future. I'm willing to bet there will be no 4x or 6x Monarchs!

Same thing here. Called them about 8:30 a.m. as I was driving down to pick them up. The basic information is: 1.) the 4X and 6X are both discontinued models. 2.) they have neither in stock but have 63 of each model on order. 3.) they don't know when or if they will receive any of them or how many. 4.) all orders received will be filled as/if the scopes become available.
No, I didn't go ahead and order the rings and bases I was going to buy.

Well ... as an aside to all of this ... I did contact Nikon regarding the installation of elevation and windage turrets for the 6x42 Monarch scopes. Here's my original inquiry: I used to have a Monarch UCC 3.3-10x44 A0 ... it had the low-profile target turrets on it with the screw on cap covers. I have just bought one of your 6x42 Monarch UCC scopes, and would like to have an elevation turret installed. Can you please let me know what I need to do in order to have an elevation turret installed on my new scope? Thanks! Their response (in an email) is as follows: Currently these are not available, Turrets are being released this spring, unfortunately we do not have an exact date. Best option keep an eye on www.Cabelas.com, or you can call 1-800-845-6687 in a month, we should have more information at that point. So ... for anyone that already has one of these scopes, or ends up getting one from SWFA (if that ever happens) ... and if you want turrets ... this might turn into one hell of a deal ... still not happy with SWFA about this though ... doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies by any means ...

Perhaps someone should call in and demand a substitution of a Leupold 6x42 instead.
I'd bet that'd get their attention....
