FYI - "Swfa response to closing question" #18165379 02/22/23 Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 4,841 Oregon 4 4th_point OP Campfire Tracker OP 4th_point Campfire Tracker 4 Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 4,841 Oregon 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.

If they cut corners for profit they’ll lose the only thing they had going for them. Reliability.

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.
