Sorry if I am way behind on this one... I have been looking for a new scope for my new boom stick. I was looking for a LARGE selection of scopes that I could check out and choose from. See I'm the type that will use a piece of equipment for YEARS before getting a new one. So I wanted to be sure. Anyway after looking at tons of Academy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Basspros, Gander Mountains, etc I finally stumbled across this place. I heard about their website (Thanks Gogburn) but just learned they have a store in RedOak Tx. I just don't like buying things online where I can't check em out in person... Their website is www.swfa.com but their store name is Rifle Scopes Com and they are right off of Hwy 35 and Ovilla Rd. Super nice guy showed me all the scopes I wanted to see and was very helpful. They have, in stock, everything from Tasco to Swarvoski and prices you WON'T beat. Trust me, Ive done hours of research! Anyway, I'll be skipping all them other "brand" stores from now on when I'm shopping for optics so I thought I'd share my new little gold mine with you all. I am in no way associated with this company. Just trying to help future optics buyers save time and $

If you look at their sample list online you can find some great deals.

I bought a spotting scope from those folks and thought the price was just fine.

Exactly, the samplelist is the first place you should check. Bought several from them and it was nice to be able to drive there and look at them first hand.
For Swarovski, Zeiss, Pentax or Nikon go to www.cameralandny.com and check out their demo/sample scopes. I've bought 3 high dollar demo scopes from them that were in 100% condition and much cheaper than SWFA's samplelist ( no tax either and they'll ship free ).
Talk to Chris at SWFA or Doug at Cameraland.

Been dealing with SWFA for years. Great people. Good prices. Local is a huge plus too.
