Tried to buy a new Z3 scope from Cameraland and was told they are almost impossible to get
What is up with Swarovski?

Swarovski scopes are heavily back ordered. We do get deliveries of them on a fairly regular basis but we have been taking small deposits on many of their scopes so lots of times when they do arrive they go right out. Please feel free to give a call and put a small refundable deposit on the one you're looking for
