It appears they are counting down to their new optics at midnight tonight. My guess is nothing revolutionary but modest improvements. Hopefully they will still be manufactured in Japan. https://swfa.com/

They have the Gen 2 model line up, pretty underwhelming.

SWFA is a hasbeen. The current "mods" are a joke.

Agreed. They added a zero stop to the 3-15X. I can't see if they put their HD glass in it, like the 5-20X has. The glass in the Gen-1 3-15X took me two seconds to say it does not pass. I was about to buy one. Big Fitz had one on a rifle he was shooting at my range. A serious mirage day. I looked out at 500 yards with it and said that is terrible! He probably punched me in the ribs.

Would have loved to see them create a compact 3-12x40 milquad using the 1-4 tube, turrets, and illumination.

Not sure about "official" but it's rather obvious IMO.
Wonder what happens to all of those folks waiting on warranty replacements for the 3-9 MQ, 6x MQ, etc. Some have been waiting several months. The "new and improved" 3-15x has the same glass, non hd. A joke.

I swear, optics manufacturers could make so much more money if they would just ask their potential consumers what they want.

The 3-9 MQ is in stock and on sale for $599. At least when I looked earlier. That’s the only thing I saw that was tempting.

I remember. I actually have several of the 3-15 scopes and, interestingly, the newer ones seem to be clearer.
