Is there any word on to when Vortex will be shipping more StrikeFire's out?
I ordered one from Optic's Planet & they did not give me a shipping date. They said it will be coming driectly from Vortex.
I attempted to search for this answer but I cannot find anything.

I just got on the backorder list a few days aog at Cameraland in NYC.  I spoke to Vortex a day ago and they said shipments should be in soon and then they will go out to the retailers.  FYI, Cameraland still had some of the low mount models a few days ago, but that was a few days ago so they might be gone already.

Thank you, I didnt know about cameraland. But like you I want the high mount as well. I just wish we would get some sort of date from Vortex instead of everybody just saying "Soon" "Soon we will ship them".

I have a strikefire on backorder from optics planet also, I got the low mount, since I'm going to get a Larue mount, just hope "soon" is like a week..

Sorry for being vague about the dates, but it's hard to know exact dates sometimes. Pretty good chance that in the next week or two we will be sending more out though.

Hey Sam, how about compensating us on the unknown wait time by throwing in a high & a Low Mount?
That in my eyes would be a real nice gesture.

I ordered 1 from SWFA and of course was backorder. They replied that they should be shipping in a few weeks. I got my fingers crossed.

Did you look at the StrikeFires they had in stock? Were they the newer ones with the power button on the side or the older ones with the power button on top? If it is the new one, I just may order from here so I can get it.
Thanks

I'd give them a call and ask. Hopefully they have their stock onsite and someone will be nice enough to check.

I've done stuff like that before and most people are good enough to check if you have a reason for asking. In this case you want the newer version and they SHOULD check for that reason alone.

Darn Randy,,,good point.
Why did I open my mouth?
I am just kidding.
You are probably right. Maybe I should have gotten 2.

Just wanted to let you guys know that cameraland does have a few low mounts in stock still, got mine in 2 days so they are pretty much on the ball with the shipping.  The only thing I was unhappy about was that they are advertising a free pair of Vortex binoculars with any Vortex rifle scope purchase, when I got the scope there were no binoculars so I called and they said "well, that doesn't apply to the strikefire"  I said "but it is a rifle scope" and they said they need to take that off their website cause the strikefire doesn't count, lol.

I got a call today, when I come in from work from optics planet.  The lady wanted to ask what mount I wanted, AR15 or low mount.  She said they had forgot to enter that option on their site, when I placed the order.  SHE SAID THEY SHOULD BE IN IN A FEW DAYS!!!!  and they would ship shortly after

Should be soon, we have been shipping them out the last few days and will ship more next week.

Also check the threads in the main Vortex forum area for dealers that have them in stock right now. I posted one yesterday and someone else posted one yesterday also.

Cameraland raised their price from $129 to $149 today.
Places have these in stock lately. Please shop around for a better price than $149. I hate to see places raise their prices because people start showing some attention to certain products.
