VM, they're giving you your antique B&L back and taking back a scope you bent........

That's as good as it gets.  Sounds like you misrepresented your original trade and they didn't balk, that's the first sign of SWFA being above and beyond, and now they're taking back a scope that isn't marketable because of you.

 

Good luck getting sympathy.

 

BTW Brady, Chris is giving me a full refund and I'm applying it to one of the beautiful MK4 M1 8.5-25X50 30mm LRT's you have laying around.  Full credit for a scope I mounted, then returned 6 months later.....that's GOOD customer service.  Let the airsoft kids bitch, you guys do a good job!

Chris, Brady,

 

Is anything wrong optically with the XOTIC he returned? or is it just the slight dents in the body?

Nothing at all wrong optically. Just the dents you see pictured. I guess he would rather have a scope filled with internal debris over a scope that has a very minor dent.

Is there a history of mental illness in his family?  or is he just one of those mall ninjas who buys nytrillium ammunition that is supposed to stop a charging buffalo with the mere sight of it?

My XOTIC was such a piece of junk that my nephew took it away from me.  After he nailed a prarie dog at 463 yards, he decided that it just wasn't good enough for me.  How much do you want for Volders dented scope, I have a few nails to drive and I could use a good hammer.

hi guys, i am new here and i come from the netherlands , but i own a steyr ssg 04 in 7,62x52mm /.308 winchester with a quick ditache scope mount steyr ssg and a xotic scope, it's a perfect sniperscope for sniper targets , iam very glad to have 1 .

the scope cost here in europe only 449 euro thats about 500 dollar.

i know a adress in germany just close over the dutch border and he will send it worldwide.

i heard that in the states that this scope is very exspensive.

 

so hear the link to your xotic scope. and you will have register this site before you can buy /trade.

he will accept pay pal.

Looks like a hell of a scope for the money, whats the catch? 

 

By the way, people like the original poster arn't hard to figure out.  They are motivated by poor self esteem and feelings of inadecuacy.  They have never achieved anything.  They would never be able to feel equal to someone like Chris, so they attempt to belittle the person they feel threatened by.  Shrinks call it leveling, they're trying to drag you down to they're pathetic level.

Chris,
Would you buy a 16X42 super sniper scope or a XOTIC?
Why/Whynot.
Thanks
FYI, I have a supersniper on order and your are currently out of stock. 10+ days. Currently I use NightForce, and Mark 4 Lum scopes.

A more appropriate question is from whom are you getting a Xotic?
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

We tolerate a lot of post and comments that probably should be deleted or edited for our benefit but we don't and that is one of the reasons why the OT has become such a good place to hang out.  We've only ever banned one user in our history and now we have banned two.

 

This particular guy baited us with a trade and I called it right when he propositioned us and told our warehouse manager in charge of trades exactly what he planned to do.  I contemplated just turning him down immediately, then again when his scope trade arrived in a lot worse condition than he described.  But I gave him the benefit of doubt and proceeded and told David (warehouse manager) that I bet this comes back to haunt us......didn't take long.

 

I don't know who this guy is or what his motivation is but it is more than obvious to all.

 
  CHRIS .... INTUITION .....  dang it ..... everytime you let your experience in these matters be overtaken by your  kindness and generosity ..... you seem to have too much of .... you get burnt ..... STOP IT !  YOU'RE TOO DARN KIND HEARTED !  Just an old man's opinion .... I am not trying to tell you how to run your business by no means ... I just feel sorry for you being taken advantage of so often by those type of people . Tell more of them NO .... blame it on me and send them here to argue the point with me ..... Cool  the world's full of those Cencored  idiots ....

Hi,
 
I do not understand your reply! "A more appropriate question is from whom are you getting a Xotic? ''. Is anyone able to answer my last question?
 
Thanks,

To answer your question - depends on what you want.  The Xotic has better optics and is a variable power scope.  It is also significantly more expensive.  The SuperSniper is less expensive and comes in three different fixed power configurations.  Both are rugged scopes and offer an excellent value for the money.

BTW - I suspect the prior poster asked where you were getting an XOTIC because they haven't been available for some time.  So unless you are buying used it's not currently an option.

And, the question was asked because a scope saying a thing doesn't make it a thing.  if someone is offering you a Xotic for $200, I'd check with Chris and make certain it is what someone says it is.

All things being equal, I'd take the Xotic.  SS is a fine product, but Xotic was, in its breif life, a great-er product.
