February 4, 201412 yr I'm looking to buy most likely a 4-16x, debating on SFP vs FFP. Has anyone come across any really good deals? Thanks!
February 4, 201412 yr Rick Check on the Brian Enos forum. I know I've seen a few on there. I don't know if they were exactly what you're looking for. I've bought and sold a bunch of stuff on there and it's always super high quality stuff. Good luck. Jan
February 4, 201412 yr I just bought one & it seems everyone sells them for the same price. I happened to get a deal at DVOR. I paid the same as every where else, but got a $150 credit to use at DVOR. Ended last Thursday though.
February 4, 201412 yr Its not the same but i bought a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 PA from optics planet, i talked to the customer service and got a 5% coupon code and a free $100 gift card.

February 5, 201412 yr I actually just got a viper pst from camera land. They're selling demo units discounted about 20-25% It's win-win with Vortex's warranty!

February 5, 201412 yr I'm just compelled to say this...Look at Sightron. I have a 4X16 you are welcome to look at and am getting a 8X32. Very clear glass, nice choice of reticles and target turrets. Doesn't say "Vortex" Just says"hit your target".
February 6, 201412 yr Just got my Vortex Viper PST FFP in from Camera Land's "demo" model sale. Over $200 off MSRP and it literally looks brand spanking new. Came with all packaging, battery, shims, covers, etc... none of the baggies were even opened. Tempted to buy another!
February 11, 201412 yr Author How did you make out? I didn't "pull the trigger" yet. I plan on mounting a scope to my Ruger Scout Rifle. I'm trying to figure out how bad the cheek weld would be with a 50mm objective. I have an XS Rail to mount in the traditional position, but the rail extends forward past the objective, so it will require very high rings to fit. Fitment would be similar to a flattop AR. I have a scope with a 42mm objective now, and there looks to be 2-3mm clearance now with Leupold high QD rings. Cheek weld is fine with this set-up, but I'm not sure if 50mm is too much with high rings. I was also thinking about the 2.5-10x scope, but that only in FFP. Most of my shooting will be bullseye paper-punching, so it's possible the FFP will become too thick on higher magnification. I would look at the SFP model, but it lacks side focus. Does anyone have any additional recommendations? I want an illuminated reticle for no other reason than I want it.
February 11, 201412 yr Author Gear hog has a deal 50% off That's for their lower end model. Thanks though.
February 11, 201412 yr This looks pretty good, anyone have experience. Mueller speed shot http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rvMfbYwED1k
February 18, 201412 yr Author FYI I ended up picking up a 4-16x FFP from Camera Land. They answered a few questions via email very quickly and courteously, and I expect this to be a seamless transaction.

Nice! Did you pick up a "demo" model? Let me know how yours arrives. I literally couldn't see how mine was a demo. Everything was still wrapped and sealed as if new.

I did in fact order a "demo." I think offering "demo models" is a way for them to work around MAP pricing. Very nice people so far. According to Fedex, it will arrive today too. Not bad for ordering free ground shipping late in the afternoon yesterday.
