Finally shipped yesterday 3/20. My order was placed on 5/21/12. For the guys that are still waiting, I should have a chance to take it to the range this weekend and get it up and going.

What are the pictures and questions that you would like answered?

dapenko · Mar 21, 2013

Order #190779 still waiting on e-mail but should be soon now...

SigKev · Mar 21, 2013

I called yesterday to order a scope for a new .22 rifle and they had my order packaged and ready to ship out. My order number is 190709 and was placed on 5/21/2012. Scopes should be here before the end of the week.

Mine showed up today and I am absolutely thrilled with the reticle - I can't wait to try this out. I was a bit surprised by the eye relief, though - as there is so much.
It comes with 2 batteries, an allen wrench. the caps, the thread protectors, and the scope. The scope has a storage compartment for the extra battery.

The donut reticle is at 1x and the crosshair is at 6x. there are better pics out there of the reticle, so i was just giving an idea.

This will find its home on my rifle tomorrow when my SWFA SSALT mount gets here. I don't need a QD mount, so I think the SSALT will be fine for my needs. With this crazy eye relief, I might need to toss it into my Primary Arms deluxe extended mount, though. lol.

All the adjustments are firm clicks. not too audible, but you can definitely feel the click, which is more important to me.

WVshooter · Mar 21, 2013

That reticle looks great. I can't wait till they get all caught on these orders so I can get one for my LWRC.

bp78 · Mar 22, 2013

Looks great, I think I'm within 50 order numbers now of shipping.

I see the turret covers are now shipping with new scopes? If I remember correctly, the first batches shipped with just a promise turret covers would come later..

BBJones13 · Mar 22, 2013

190731 shipped out today. Ordered very very late on 5/21.

Good luck to those who are still waiting.

Boats · Mar 22, 2013

Can not think of a better first post! Getting started on my first build and the timing could not be better.

NoFail · Mar 22, 2013

So you got your scope, boats.

Engineer · Mar 25, 2013

Order #190708 arrived today. Turret covers are coming with the scopes now (or at least mine did). I spent the evening mounting the scope on my carbine:

Bonjourjr · Mar 25, 2013

What size scope caps are those?

I thought I heard there was one being released specifically for the 1-6. If the 1-4x works perfectly, how is the 1-6x-specific model different?
--

The 1-6 switch view will be similar to the single screw 5-20x50.
Not only will it fit the 1-6 power ring properly it will allow for more clearance on some mounts.

slowr1der · Mar 26, 2013

Anyone know what the $1.99 offline order adjustment charge is? Are the rest of you guys seeing this? I haven't looked at my account or heard anything from SWFA about this scope since I ordered it. I got my 5-20 long ago and decided I better log on just to check on the status for the first time tonight. I see I'm getting charged this fee. I'm going to give them a call and tomorrow and see what it is. This has been a horrible experience all the way through with constant lies, and it's not really comforting to log in to see random charges being billed to me.

NoFail · Mar 26, 2013

Lies? To what lies do you refer?

rockrat · Mar 26, 2013

I had a combo order, a few hours after the 10k deal went live. My 1-6 arrived yesterday.

Ugh.. still have to wait since I ordered it later than some of you guys. Glad to see they are still going out and getting closer to my order #.

KMM696 · Mar 28, 2013

Order 190736 on 5/22 - talked to SWFA this morning to update credit card so they could ship.

2good2Btru · Mar 29, 2013

Well, I'll still be waiting for a while. I ordered mine back on 6/20

Hammertime · Mar 29, 2013

That is odd, sorry man, I'm sure you will get notified soon. I even double checked my email, UPS notification too.

thezoltar · Mar 29, 2013

190711 just shipped today. I had a few extra items in there that probably slowed my order just a bit. I've got a few things from here and there arriving in the next couple of weeks. New big boy toys!

I'm glad you are getting your scope(s), but it is a little irritating to me since I ordered a full month before you! ...sigh...

190761 is finally on it's long flight to Hawaii!

Order placed 5/22/12

maclowry · Apr 1, 2013

I called today and was told my card is still good but my 1-6 is not here yet.

I'm order 190758, I should of asked how the orders were prioritized. If they don't go in order.

jstalford · Apr 2, 2013

Has anyone that's gotten their 1-6 also had experience with the Bushnell 1-6.5?

Quinc · Apr 2, 2013

Anyone sell their 1-6 yet? How much did you get for it? I sold the gun I was going to put mine on and it seems like over kill on a 10/22.

fireEMT5 · Apr 2, 2013

Considering the climate we are in with all things gun related, and how many people want one of these scopes, you could probably get close to full price if you have one in hand. No one knows how long it's gonna take SWFA to catch up and fill all the orders out there. Let the market decide what they will pay for it.

Normally, most SWFA scopes sell at $100 - $200 less than full price, or what you'd see for one on the SWFA sample list, but since this is a new scope, they are in high demand and short supply, you probably won't have to discount it much or at all given that you can't buy one for a sale or group buy price right now. Others may feel differently, but if you have the scope, you get to set the price and garner any return you get. Right or wrong, that's the way the market works.

NoFail · Apr 2, 2013

I'da paid you $1000 for the scope today if I wasn't in on the deal in the first place. I was prepared to do that if there was never the swfa group buy.

I've had it for a month or so, still love it. For $800 I'm beside myself... Like, "Are you kidding me? $800?" I'd be all over that one all day long.. Because all the features and everything about this one I'd expect to pay more than 1k for it from any of the "better" competitors.

cjgemm · Apr 3, 2013

Mine came today order 190757. Came without the turret caps though. Wonder how they are going to keep track if some are shipping with them. I guess I'll still have to check this thread from time to time.

slowr1der · Apr 3, 2013

Mine finally shipped today. I ordered it on 5/22/2012 at 12 AM. Unfortunately it won't be here until next week while I'm out of town, but I can't wait to get it when I get back. I also noticed they misspelled the city I'm in, but the zip code is right. I hope it makes it here. I can't wait.

fireEMT5 · Apr 3, 2013

My order for the 1-6 ordered on 5/23 shipped today. Should have it in hand on Monday the 8th. Order # 190936 Funny, I'm not even excited at this point. This one might just get listed, but will reserve judgment until I get it in hand.

MustangGreg66 · Apr 3, 2013

I've been following this topic for a long time now. I got in on the 5-20/1-6 combo at the last minute, ordered on 5/23/2012 and received my 5-20x almost right away. It looks like a nice scope but to be honest I have mounted it, but still haven't shot with it. I bought it to do some long range test loads for 3-gun with something better than my 1-4x Burris Tac30, but haven't gotten around to it. I've be contemplating canceling the 1-6 order and even returning the 5-20... but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was tempted again to cancel when word of the reticle change came out, but then I was curious as to what it would be.... now that it's out and in hands, the pics of the scope look really good. I'm almost excited again. Looks like my scope will be here soon. I just hope it's as good at 1x as my Tac30.

New order # 418318 received 05/23/12 12:00:00 AM.
Shipped 04/03/13 UPS GROUND
Original Order Number: 190913

Thanks for the ride guys. Maybe once it gets here I'll take pictures to drive some more excitement

That was my feeling as well up until it actually shipped. Now I can't wait to check it out. To be honest though, I really don't have a gun to put it on anymore so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I may list mine as well. I just want to look through it.

Howa4AU · Apr 4, 2013

Ordered on 5/26 with number 191216. Shipping info received yesterday. UPS tracking says I will have it by tomorrow pm. Shooting a 3 gun match on Saturday- don't think I can get it mounted and sighted in in time. Can't wait to move up to 6 power from the 1-4 I have now.

Bad-Andy · Apr 4, 2013

Mine finally came in today. Glass looks great, but no caps.

Hammertime · Apr 5, 2013

Mine arrived yesterday, without caps, but looks great. I hope to mount it this weekend and take it to the range next week.Although that may be a little tricky because all I have are 30 rd mags and Connecticut just passed it's new gun laws...never mind, different topic. I am curious about the reticle adjustment turret. Several stops on the turret do not seem to change anything. Turning it will go from non-illuminated to illuminated and different levels of illumination, but several stops do nothing else but show the non illuminated reticle and in no particular order? maybe I am missing something as I only opened the box and played with it for a short time. Otherwise it is a thing of beauty, glass is awesome, reticle design is great. Thanks for any help and will post results (if I don't get arrested for the whole 30 rd mag thing!).

mike72 · Apr 5, 2013

I think the in between clicks are off posistions so you don't have to go all the way through all of them to turn illumination off.

That's what I would guess also, but it will rotate 5 or 6 clicks on the "off" position then seem to be random on/off/low ? I would have liked to have some literature come with it, but I'll use it some more and see. Then call SWFA.Thanks.

on (IIRC) mine, every illumination level is followed by an off position. the off positions are marked by dots, the on positions are marked by their illumination level.
