Nah, they're just messing with you and sending you a box full of packing peanuts.


Seriously, its nice watching folks get their scopes, almost like watching kids open christmas presents!

I know how you feel, I was going nuts waiting for mine, when I got it and opened it up damn near needed a moist towellette, best package I've ever gotten in the mail by far.

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

agree with rero, I had a hard on and I heard the angels sing. What's the specs on your build lone wolf?

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

The specs are:

SN-3 3.2-17x Ergo
44mm Lo-Pro Objective
30mm Tube
GAP Reticle
Red Illumination
Mil EREK
Mil #3 M40 Windage

I think it should fit in my Seekins Low rings (current obj. is 44mm and has some clearance).

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

keep in mind the SN3 with Ergo is 2.24" diameter, only .2" smaller than a 56mm S&B......

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

That's f-ing sweet dude. I hope it does too. I have a factory barrel on my savage 10 with low mount tps rings on a warne base and I've 2 tenths of an inch of clearance. I'm hoping it clears my new kreiger.

Sweet! Post some pics when it comes.

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

Well, I did the math and there MAY be a gnats hair of clearance between the cap and the barrel. If it doesn't clear, then some sanding may fix it.

I am still trying to figure out if we can get our grubby hands on a Simrad, so that may make a difference on the rings. I love Seekins, but if I get replacement rings I may go Badger so I can fit a Simrad cap.

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

It gets here tomorrow!!!

Too bad I have to work. I will be coming home on my dinner break to visit my new scope! I had to make sure my wife would be home to sign for it.

I've been waiting for my sn3 t-pal since early February.

Got a call from Becky 3 weeks ago saying that my scope is now in QC. When I called last week the response was "I don't know why she told you that" and he couldn't give me a time line. I don't like to bitch on line and don't like to keep calling USO. Maybe that is why mine is last!

Anyone out there waiting as long as me?

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

I know how it goes. The wait was killing me. I called for a status report a month ago and they didn't know anything. I wasn't really sweating it because I knew going into it that it would take some time. I also knew that I WOULD get my scope, so it's not like I was worried.

Maybe the T-Pals take longer than the Ergo, or the reticle you selected was out of stock. I dunno. I hope you get yours soon.

Mine is here on a FedEx truck somewhere. FedEx usually hits my place in the late afternoon. I am actually contemplating taking the day off so I can be here when it arrives.

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

Wouldn't you know it showed up this morning!

See... all I had to do was whine a little.

My GAP 7WSM was mailed Friday and should be here any day so waiting for the USO was somewhat tolerable.

Re: HOLY CRAP I think my SN-3 is on the WAY!!!!

Great!

Well I did take the day off. Now I am sitting here doing some sewing and waiting on FedEx.

ETA:

It arrived!!!! I took pics of the unboxing and have not been more than an arms length away from it since. If I don't mount it on the rifle I am confident that I could use it as a less-lethal weapon. This is one solid piece.

I can't wait to mount it up and shoot!
