Probably Amazon. But I buy all mine at prophet river, a site sponsor. What scope in particular are you after? There is a user on here named Travis m. And he is somehow affiliated with Nikon, you could pm him.
yeah im noticing amazon is cheap for them, was just hoping there was a better option, as in cheaper site sponsor.
EDIT, not sure yet on exact model, likely a 3-9 or 4-12 model. maybe even the 2.5x-10x prostaff 5. not sure yet.
The only thing I buy from Amazon is books (far, far too many I'm afraid).
Anything that may require warranty or service purchase locally, even if it is a bit more. Amazon has a great policy of no questions asked return, but that is for a limited time (usually about a month)...after that repair and warranty issues are usually not worth the hassle for the $20 saved on purchase.
Recently picked up one of the new Nikon X1000 4-16x50 tactical scopes.
A great piece of glass for the price.
Prophet river had a bunch in the reduced section, give them a call.
I have both the monarch 3 and prostaff 5 both with the anal bead reticle and the monarch is much, much better glass for only about $100 more.
