RE: question on scopes
I just purchased a Nikon Monarch 6-24x50sf NIB off of ebay. I was very hesitant about buying it off of there just because the price was so much less then at the stores, I figured something had to be wrong with it. I did my research on the seller and he did have a very limited return policy on it. I am VERY happy with it. I bought the scope for $489- it lists for $630 at cabelas. If you want you can PM me and i can give you the sellers name.
I agree with glockman, before you buy a scope make sure you can go some where and get your hands on one to make sure its what your looking for.
