For those of you waiting for what the next new SS variable is............. wait for it...............
 
I'm still holding out for a 2.5-3 x 10-12.  Oh well, maybe next year, or a nightforce.
 
SWFA, what's the price on this 5x20 going to be?

I am disappointed BIG TIME...

WHY OH WHY OH WHY DO WE ALWAYS HEAR IT FROM OTHER PEOPLE ON OTHER SITES FIRST...

I have personally not contributed to the Hide, but after getting more info over their about the SWFA product OVER THERE, I guess I need to start contributing.

I did not even get a heads up...

What, you don't have one already? Most of us have been using them for a while now...if our name is Lowlight!

Seriously though, it could be a while before we see them on the SWFA site. Sounds like he likes it so far. To echo one of the posters over there, I'd be eager to get my hands on a 3-12. It's a very nice looking scope, that's for sure.
Reaction time is a factor...

Price not comfirmed..  Well its not a CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET Scope anymore.
Would like to see a little more love from SWFA instead of finding out on another site.                        I do really like it so far... Can't waite for LL's review.

My most sincere apologies, we were going to break it here bur Frank could not contain himself (can't blame him).
 
He got the prototype today and I did not know he was going to make that post.
 
JonA has one too and he is going to post some really good pics here and his impressions.

Look forward to details.

Looks like a really nice scope in a really competitive market.

Awesome.  Can't wait to get more details on this one.  It looks great Chris, I like how you put the parallax and illumination both on the same knob.  Excellent

I don't need you to do that for me...

I just shared with a few of the guys... My wife is ragging it so I am as well...

I will gladly and patiently wait my turn...

Others on here more deserving than me...I can think of ILya, Rancid, Supertool, KB just to name a few...

I will take back all my comments and just forgive you It was not your fault (I will accept the things I cannot change and....j/k)...

I truly know you would have posted the info first if you knew someone else was going to...

Again I await patiently (or at least until you block my phone number) and try to not call to many times to see "Are they here yet? Are they ready?...

As you now know everyone is in clear astonishment they are this close.

I will however be wanting to cancel a few backorders with you on the PST 6-24's to wait for the SS but I will call Brady to inform him...

Again Chris thank you for your site you host for us and your service you provide...

I keep on fighting my urge to ask a.... what I said I would not so....ummm...I have to go and clean my mouth out I am bleeding some how I bit thru my tongue and my bottom lip within the writing of this...

When?
Peeker

J/k 

Please everyone respect them R & D is a pain and can take a long time, the SS 1-4 took like what 6-8 months conservatively...

I would offer to take it elk hunting as a test for them, but I am not sure they want a horse rolling on it.

True, I'd hate to be responsible for our scope harming such a beautiful creature.  Shocked

Very true.  I only roll my horses down rock slabs and mountains sides.  Not need to kill him with a scope.  But the offer stands if you would like.  Or you could just come up and hunt with it yourself.

Well, if you come up with another prototype any time soon, I am working on another High End Tactical article and I am sure I could squeeze in a new Super Sniper while I am at it...

My Hensoldt ZF 6-24x72 is sitting on the .338 virtually unused... 7 short of a box of shells through the rifle to date.  Just when I was going to spend some time shooting with it, the tornadoes came... plus I am now considering the Spuhr mount before I really start to wring it out.  
I have a driveway that is almost impossible to drive on, due to storms, that I have to repair today.   A major test series coming up.  I am looking at probably August before I could spend any time with any scope.  
I sure would like to see "Slap's" review, though.  
Congratulations to SWFA/Chris on getting this scope out.  Long awaited, much desired.  JonA always takes good pictures...
