I know everyone is likely aware of the deal and the fact that once it gets to 10,000 that the 5-20 and the new 1-6 will have one heck of a package deal.

What you may not know is that just a little bit ago today a company called Mission First Tactical (who has 30,000 fans on facebook) launched a contest where to be entered to win you have to "like" their sponsors that donated to the contest. Well it just so happens that SWFA.com is one of their contest sponsors.

So what's this mean? A page with 30,000 fans just basically asked all of them to go and like SWFA. So it's very likely that SWFA will have 10,000 likes before this time tomorrow. If you were thinking about getting in on this deal then I'd be ready to order as I'm sure the backorder list will get long pretty quick once 10k is achieved.

yea, to win the MFT prizes you have to like all of their sponsers. SWFA being one of them. should hit 10k by saturday. if you buy the package deal will they ship the 5-20 out separate or do you have to wait for the 1-6 to release?
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

have they stated the deal price for the SS 5-20 and 1-6 will be?

Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Is the code going to be for a 5-20 and 1-6 package only, or can they be bought individual?

The codes for them individually are active right now, though not as good of a deal. You could buy both and sell one off and do pretty well.

Holy crap that's great info... warming up the visa now. lol
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

So not to sound super dumb, but to get the 10000 code do you just add the 5-20 and the 1-6 to the cart and enter the code and you are good to go?

Or do they have some like "group buy" package you will have to select to get the discount?
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

You are correct. Once the likes reach 10,000 and SWFA unlocks the code, you add both scopes to your cart and enter 10000 in the box which should apply your discount before checkout.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Honestly, I thought it would be going up faster. Y'all can sit back and relax. I'll tell you when you can order (after me).

Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

1,208 likes to go until 10k...that's up HUGE from this time yesterday.

Wife is gonna be PISSED at me!

LOL! Unless 300 other people have the same idea and flood the "For Sale" boards and Ebay.

Like last time when someone bought 11 scopes so he could sell 10 and have 1 free.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Yeah I imagine there will be some good deals to be had in the For Sale forum on some 1-6's and 5-20's soon.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

The <span style="font-weight: bold">10000 </span>coupon code will only be good for both the 5-20 and 1-6. You will not be able to order just the 1-6 or 5-20 individually using this code.

The code will not work if the 1-6 and 5-20 are in the shopping cart individually. You must order the “combo” product.

We made a separate SKU that has both the 5-20 and 1-6 combined.

How will the billing and shipping work? Will the 5-20 ship right away? Will we be charged the full amount right away? Just curios... So i can figure out how to explain it to the wife! Can't wait for 10k!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: rrflyer</div><div class="ubbcode-body">70 more to go!</div></div> It's at 9047 right now, so 953 more to go, not 70. The benchmark is 10k.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

This is a sweet deal for the combo package. I just hit "Like" on FB and within a few days they will get 10k. I know a lot of people will order the combo. I bet SWFA will be swamp with back order for both scopes, may be in the thousand range.
Now, the next question is, how fast can they make those scopes with good QC and how fast can they ship them out.

Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

SWFA,
What about some of the above questions that have been asked?

Is it possible to get the 5-20 when you pay, or do you have to wait some unknown amount of time for the release of the 1-6?

Stock levels....obviously this is going to be a pretty big sale, so have stock levels been bumped up to compensate for this or will there be an extended back order? Is product made and ready to go or is product going to be made based on order volume?

If you contact us and ask us to "ship ahead" your 5-20x we will do that and only charge you for what ships.

While this sounds easy it really is not but we can accomodate you if you PM us with your order details.

No firm date yet and we do not speculate until we have solid facts.

We maintain a very large stock of all SS scopes at all times and we have production scheduled at all times. The promotion was launched to coincide with the delivery of the first production run of the 1-6x model. Preliminary sales numbers do not have us in a back order situation at this time but the top promo has yet to launch.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Will SWFA be charging at time of order or time of shipping?

Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

I just put my order in. Thank you SWFA for holding this promotion. This will be my second 5-20. Good deal!
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Got my order in and now comes the wait!

I've got an AR-10 carbine waiting for the 1-6 and a Rem 700 waiting for the 5-20.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

+1 on the order.
Thanks SWFA.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

I know Brady stayed up late so he could activate this code as soon as they hit the big 10k. Happy for him it didn't take any longer.
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Hi SWFA,

I would like to buy the SS 5-20XHD illuminated and 1-6X combo. Just wondering if you can offer a package like the non-illuminated ones. I am sure quite a few people are interested in it as well.

Kevin

Why don't you just call them?
 
Re: SWFA - Facebook 10,000 likes deal - A heads up....

Was there a time limit on this? They have 10K likes but the code does not register.

Should be good.

Did you add them to your cart separately or did you add the "package deal" to your cart.

I thought they said mid-summer.
