Back in the 1990s SWFA had ads in SHOTGUN NEWS and the girls who answered the phone had southern accents. Id be interested in knowing how many here besides me and the poster ever heard of Shotgun news. lol Read it all the time.

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Cameraland, Cameraland, Cameraland, great people to do business with, I first did business with them in the late 70's for a new Nikon camera, if they say they have it you'll see it soon. I ordered a SWFA scope on a Black Friday sale only because it had a ocular housing smaller than anything on the market, cancelled it last week as they still didn't know when it would arrive, and the reviews weren't that hot anyways, just hope the scope I have(Leupold Compact 2-7) doesn't bite the dust.

I've used Bear Basin Outfitters off and on over the years, have never had an issue. Also read Shotgun News sometimes too.

I would start with Doug, IF he can not help you then look elsewhere. Thinking you will not need to go any farther than Cameraland. Have dealt with Europtics and Bear Basin too. A long time ago...

I switched from Optics Planet to Camera Land and have never looked back.
I never had any problems with Optics Planet except when it comes to getting expert advice and someone you can trust on the phone, Camera Land's service has my business forever. That was a no- brainer

I’ve learned to call Camera Land first, because they always end up being my last call. Doug’s prices can’t be touched, and, as you can see, he is right here to deal with issues, year after year. Since he reached out, I might give Camera Land a call and ask for him personally. Here’s a hint: you’re not going to do better on this Kowa purchase.  Ditto...none better.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Back in the 1990s SWFA had ads in SHOTGUN NEWS and the girls who answered the phone had southern accents. Shotgun news was a great publication. I used to read it all the time. It was my go to for everything gun related before you could order stuff online. As far as scopes, I have been buying from optics planet, and midway USA. Looks like I need to check out Camera Land for my next one.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.
