Rifle Scopes Badger Ring Shortage?

[Beef Curtain]

So, I ordered some Badger standard rings from SWFA and I got an e-mail the next day that said they are out of stock and don't know when they will get more in. So, I'm stuck, they have my money and I don't when I will have my rings. Is Badger Ordinance just overwhelmed with orders or is SWFA just poorly stocked?

You can call SWFA and they will return your money. I had a hard time finding 34mm rings recently. I found some at Sport optics, they had a bunch in stock.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

Everywhere I've looked they either don't have the 700 SA 20 MOA base or the don't have the rings. I want to order both on the same order. I'm gonna call Euro Optic today to see if they have them in stock.

I hate shopping on websites that don't tell you up front weather or not a product is in stock. It is even worse when they take your money at the same time you place the order and then don't ship the product.

Midway has what you are looking for in stock:
Badger Medium Rings
Badger Low Rings
Badger 700 SA 20 MOA Base

You can always look around for some Seekins. Excellent rings.

As Rob said, I'd call SWFA back to cancel your order and ask them to replace with Seekins. Glen makes nice stuff.

When I as looking for rings I wanted Seekins but i could not find them anywhere. So I went with Badgers. Call Jay at sport Optics they had a bunch of rings.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

Called them, they were apologetic and canceled order for me. Found them on Brownell's but not as cheap.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

WTH?! Brownell's is out of stock too!!!!!!

Guess it's Midway....

What's your hang up with Badgers? Get some NightForce rings or some Seekins (my choice) or some US Optics. The Vortex PMR rings are also great and made by Seekins. You won't find many, if any reports of any of the above mentioned rings "failing". Also, Midway is the last damn place I'd order from.

Talked to Mike from CS yesterday. I had Badger rings on backorder with him since middle of december. He told me he talked to someone from Badger at SHOT SHOW and they said they were trying to catch up on orders....mainly due to military demand. The only ones that Badger had at SHOT were for display only. Primaryarms.com had some in stock. Might give them a try.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

I have a set of 30mm Mediums. If you want them PM me.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

Seekins has been out of 34MM rings for some time, I spoke to them at the SHOT show, they're in the process of making some up. Hopefully, they will get to the dealers soon. I've been waiting for some time.

34MM rings have been hard to get lately.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

Well, if somebody need 34 mms, I got two sets I don't use. One set is even from Badger.

I could ask you the same thing. What's your hang up with Seekins? If he wants Badgers, he must have a reason...

I already have a set of NF rings and don't like the Seekins not having the 1/2" nut. Just wanted a little variety.

Re: Badger Ring Shortage?

We got hit hard all at once. I'm not sure how to forecast that

. We have a bunch on the way in and have had 2 people assembling rings full time for pretty much a month.
