The quote below was posted at another forum. Can anyone confirm the change in business? ILya?

I thought I read or heard of some new designs being released.

"As of today, SWFA, Inc. is in the process of transitioning from being a retailer of many different brands, to solely being a manufacturer/retailer of our in house line of products in order to fully concentrate resources to the continued growth, expansion, and success of the SWFA-SS brand.

Regards,

Wendy
Customer Service/ Accounting Manager"

I hope they maintain the quality of their products at their place in the market. If they cut corners for profit they’ll lose the only thing they had going for them. Reliability.

They seem to be well aware of the importance of reliability, while adding some new features and products.

Does this mean they are doing away with the samplelist?

All my using guns have SWFA scopes on them. I truly hope they are able to continue with their own products only. I also hope there is a super Memorial day sale.

Not sure that you’ll top the sale prices they have going on right now

Maybe add some eye relief while they're at it.

And a shorter elevation turret and a capped windage would be awesome!

I'll second that. I'd also encourage them to accurately list specs like weight and eye relief on all of their scopes.

FWIW they have a pretty darn good sale going on what they have left in stock.

I'm with you there.

But I'll admit that thier current turret configuration doesn't bother me while in use.

I got my first SWFA scope this last winter. It's the fixed 10 x 42. I really like it. I have been contemplating a second one as well. The fixed 6. I'm completely happy with mine.

Sure gonna miss buying from them. They had great prices especially when they did sales. No shipping or tax either. Got no interest in their scopes though.


You ain't about that life.

That is going to be the sentiment of MANY. Looks like a downward spiral of demise happening.
