Man this is getting annoying. I need a few scopes but have been holding out waiting for SWFA to get some in stock. As am I. I'm still thinking there's more to this story than the 'rona.

I hope whatever it is get straightened out soon. I really want to pick up another 3-9×42 before this fall.

I am also curious. Are there any other scopes that seem to be in short supply? At a quick glance most other scope vendors appear well-stocked in retail outlets. It seems a little disingenuous of SWFA to still offer the scopes for sale on a "backorder" status when there is literally no ETA on them.

Maybe they need a minimum order amount before production can begin? Money may be tight at SWFA. Just a thought.

Surely you guys that are waiting didn't have to pay first, then wait all this time, huh?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Didn’t have to prepay.
I’m waiting on an ultralight rimfire I ordered before Christmas. I checked with customer service and didn’t get a concrete answer when they will be back in stock. About ready to pull the plug.

I picked up a !0x42 3 weeks ago at SWFA, the guy said they were for filling backorders and I said I have the cash and got mine. I would have picked up a 6x too but they had none.

He could have said no and I would have been good with it. That said I drove 50 miles there to get it after calling customer service and had them check inventory, the lady said they had 11 in stock. So now while I am looking through the scope at the 700 yard steel I will be guilt ridden about all the sour grapes.

I guess we can boycott SWFA now, or just chill out and wait, or buy a Leupold..... LOL

Update on the back-ordered SS 3-9 scopes.
Spoke with SWFA today and was told that they are now hoping that these will come in by the end of July or beginning of August, but that they don't really have a firm date. I asked why they still show as backorderable on the website when in reality 8-9 months later they still can't deliver. Apparently it's a business decision they've chosen to make.
I'm going to look for a used or demo NF SHV.

That's funny. I called and spoke with someone this morning asking the very same question. I was told they had no idea when they would receive a shipment, and they wouldn't even commit to having them by the fall. I hope the person you spoke with is right.
