Default Holy Price Increases Batman!!!

I just went to the Natchez Shooters Supply website thinking about getting another Simmons 4X ProDiamond. Holy Cow! My favorite scope which was formerly $39 is now $55, even with the Simmons 20% promotional rebate.

Semi - don't know what Natchez is charging for shipping (I know they are crazy high). but Opticsplanet.com has them for 69.90 with free shipping.
There are also a couple used ones on Ebay.

Dang Bronko, thanks. I'd checked the price on Optics Planet but missed the free shipping option. Cost after rebate would be $55.92.

also, if you have a Cabela's visa card, they are applying a no shipping charge promotion until Oct 1 (promo code: clubvisa)
I don't see that they carry the Prodiamond, but they do carry the Tasco Pronghorn in 4X. That's a pretty decent scope. IMO better than the Simmons.
My fav though for a ML is the Bushnell shotgun scope. Its short and I love the circle/crosshair reticle.

Semisane:

Just looked at my Natchez catalog for May-June. They have the 4X Pro-Diamond shotgun scope on page 20 and 21 on sale at $39.95. Catalog number for the scope is: F04SN567793. On the back of the catalog by the cell phone scan code is F1210104 and N7350500078.

More:

There are two 4X Pro-Diamond scopes. Looks like the expensive one has some rubber stuff.

The rubber is on the adjustment ring of both Falcon. Same scope/different stock numbers (check the description on each page). I've run into that with Natchez before on this scope. If you don't use the number from the catalog you never find the cheaper scope on the web site.

Bronko, does the Tasco have the quick adjustment eyepiece like the ProDiamond? That's a "must have" feature for me.
