I’d like to apologize for the comments I made in Reply #16.I was rude and quite harsh. I have no excuse. We’re supposed to be here to help the other members & my comments were definitely not helpful. Again, my apologies to Ray & the other members.
I'm old, but I'm still learning. All advertising is deceptive. You will likely never get the advertised discount and realistic free shipping. By that I mean every order from PA with free shipping is ground and like clockwork takes 8 days EVERY time. In today's competitive online marketplace it would be a joke, but because Amazon and others do not carry the items we buy we are stuck with these vendors. They are all the same and do EXACTLY THE MINIMUM to entice you from one marginally different priced online vendor to another, and websites with pricing far above that generally don't last.You can explain it any way you like but they only have customer loyalty in mind when it effects the bottom line. To me, shopping online is a matter of trust. Not trusting I'm getting the best price but trusting the product will reach my door in a reasonable time in good condition without a scam involved. It is and will always be what the market will bare. I begrudge them nothing for playing within the rules of competition. It's up to them to present the product in a manner that will make us place an order, and up to us to use due diligence in purchasing.
I got a scope from Airgunopticsplus and it was truly free shipping and a great price. Just as they said.
