    I haven't had many dealings with them but all have been very good. Fast.

    I have bought several scopes from them and had no problems at all. One thing though - they can show a scope, let you order it on line and then a couple days later send you an email that it is out of stock and back ordered. I like websites that link their inventory to the order form so you can tell if it is in stock. SWFA is a good outfit but for that one bug. You can beat it with a phone call.

    I have bought almost all my scopes from them, great prices and most of the time they have the scope in stock. Not like some places where it is a great price until you call and they are out of stock but have a substitute for you at a slightly higher price. Never had any problems that required service. Also always call in, that way you get instant feedback on your ordere and whether they have it in stock.

    I've bought 2 scopes and an ACOG from them ... great guys, fast shipping

    If you want to save a couple bucks, check and buy their demo's off the sample list and get great prices!

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    Good place to deal with.
    Between them and opticsplanet.com they cover 95% of my optics buying.

    SWFA is efficient and has great prices, I've ordered many times and never had a problem. Since Optics Planet was mentioned, I like ordering from them & they have free shipping, good prices. But I've found their order fullfillment dept is a disaster - wrong items shipped, orders cancelled but sent anyway, broken scopes sent twice and a very high but unknown "out of stock" count when ordering off the net. They seem like good guys and eventually correct any mistakes, but it's just a drag dealing with the goof ups.

    SWFA on the other hand has always had in stock the items ordered and I've almost 100% had my scope in a few days.
