Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics SWFA SS 6X42 Mil Quad Reticle

'Stick has posted often that it was best to pick up the phone and call them, because they had a habit of accepting orders for stuff they didn't have when the order was placed online. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them myself (by phone) and never had a problem. I will continue to do so. Nothing is ever perfect...

Bunch of babies whining about backorders.

Its call "first world problems"

I don't know if you can even call it that though. They make a good product for a great price. Its no surprise they run out of them. Just get in line and wait your turn.

I have pretty high hopes. I got one 3-9x42 MQ already shipped and on the way. One new style lit 1-4 $299 unit for a 30-30! and one 10x MQ backordered. Why no complaints? All the positive reports and I recently bought a used 6x MD - it's a substantial piece of optics. SWFA SS, what a bargain! If folks no likey - It's their problem. A Mil Mil burly 10x for $260 with rings and a level doodad thrown in too! Maybe they'll get enough market that the big boys will come to understand the importance of grown up erector sets? Way to persist Mr. F.!

Not whining, just stating facts. They have a habit of selling things they don't have in stock. If you don't mind the wait or being charged for products that are not in stock, then by all means, order away.

The problem I have with them is they never update their website to show an item out of stock. Case in point, none of the SS scopes are listed as out of stock on their website right now despite multiple people commenting that they are indeed out of stock.

If you've decided you want a SWFA SS, it's pretty much a moot point - you're gonna wait. I can see where someone might get a little aggravated ordering something that was readily available at another site and getting a back order from SWFA. Even more so if you were trying to get something in a hurry for a trip....

Think of it like ordering a Mickey. You just never know when it'll be "in stock".

The hilarity continues...and it remains a constant theme,that them who do the LEAST,whine the MOST. Nothing new there,but the reiteration(s) are a fhuqking hoot!

VERY easy to get a person on the phone,ask questions and act in them accords. Hint.

I doubt that I'm privvy to much more than 50 Fixed Fhuqker purchases,in these last coupla days. Hint. Hell...I mighta even ordered myself. Laughing!!!

Lotsa folks put carts in front of ponies and the hilarity never fhuqking wanes. There were clear instructions on their(SWFA's) site,denoting the fact that ring height needed to be ascertained,or the ball wouldn't roll. Hint.

That was a FULL fhuqking page of CRYSTALLINE instructions,replete with fhuqking pictures. HINT.

I'm a people person and like to connect a voice to an order and was hardly "surprised",that the person answering the Black Friday phone,more than recognized my voice. Hint.

My schit shipped. Hint.

As did all the others,I was privvy to. HINT.

Not that I don't dig the Whining Dumbfhuqktitude of them oblivious to hint(s). Hint.

I can only lead you STUPID fhuqkers to water.

Hint.

Laughing.....................

Seems the only whiner were the one not even ordering. Pretend disappointment?

Both my scopes shipped with no problem. I don't think I've ever had an issue with SWFA.

I ordered 3...all shipped...

Of course, I was smart enough to 1) order early in the sale and 2) pick my ring height

The butt plate missing on that stock or am I simply not seeing it? I am going to drop test the $299 1-4. It's on the way.

There's no recoil pad. It's an HTS stock, was getting inletted and bedded with the intention that I would finish and by the time it was done I only had enough time to zero, chrono, check comeups, and then we were on the road. Hasn't affected anything so I haven't bothered. Might do a flip flop.

Form:

What rings do you like for the SS? Apologies if it was mentioned earlier.

Depends on the application. Because of how many rifles and scopes I shoot I tend to stick to piccatinny base/ring setups. I would anyways as they are the strongest, most durable way to go. With that I default to Nightforce Ultralite rings, though I'm happy to use any that are good. The above 243win has some new EGW lightweight pic rings and I'm happy with them so far.

Thanks!

TPS also makes decent rings. I've not tried their aluminum rings but I plan to. TPS actually makes a low tactical ring and Leupold doesn't.

I ordered a 6 X mil dot site says waiting to invoice and my CC has been billed. Who makes them for SWFA? Picked the low rings will they work on a std barrel contour?

I'm not a heavy user of piccatinny base/rings or 30mm scopes so it's a bit of a new game for me, but I've been using Seekins low rings with a SS and have been very pleased with them. It's on a .22 so it's not eating a lot of recoil but I like the rings.

I use aluminum Tps rings over Egw aluminum rails on all of my short actions and rimfires. Long actions get something in steel for extra piece of mind, although probably not necessary.

I ordered a 6x42mq and a hd 5-20 on Friday morning, received both yesterday.
