Folks - Stumbled upon a terrific inventory clearance sale (mentioned in the Optics section here) and wanted to mentioned as the Monarchs have been recommended here a couple of times.

See SWFA's website at: http://www.riflescopes.com/default.asp

...and the Sale section within.

A word of warning, though, unfortunately the scope I ordered was backordered so I'll have to wait awhile.[:@] Seeing as I saved at least $75 compared to MidSouth, I'll deal with it.

FWIW, I ordered the Nikon Monarch 2-7*32 for just under $220 including shipping.

I spent the better part of this morning trying to at least match this price elsewhere and I couldn't.
