One of the mods alerted me of this thread. I will side track this thread for a moment.
The account was compromised and it was banned.
i would like to take this opportunity to make people aware. There are 173,000 accounts at CGN. If there is money to make, there will be scams. There are many ways to compromise an account. For example, a webbrowser can be holding all kind of passwords and many people don't even care.
It is a reality that accounts can be compromised. Communities like CGN is vulnerable because people have built a lot of trust on each other. On the other hand, simple things like pictures will go a long way. Trader ratings are important, but it should not be a license plate to just take the money without showing a picture.
A new trader rating rule is coming soon. If a seller refuses or does not produce pictures that prove ownership within a set time frame, the buyer can leave negative rating. We need to foster an online buy/sell culture that is based on trust, but also on verification.
Thanks CGN Admin for taking the effort to post this update. I too will take this one opportunity to side track.
As I stated in an early post, price was too good to be true at 57% BNIB. My rough price guidelines are 85% for BNIB, 75% newish, 60% based on used conditions. Anything below raises a red flag.
57% in this case was a solid red flag. If you are ever so lucky to find a lottery win deal be sure to verify/validate/authenticate the seller (yes, I'm being redundant, you should be too)
Had I been the unlucky buyer without solid verification I would have insisted on EMT $100 deposit, COD.
Scam can come by
1.) hacked acct, seen too many lately scamming hot items like pythons, Razor, ...
2.) acct created by hacker, usually new with few posts/FB
3.) desperate members, rare but so are lottery winnings.
For folks using Google Mail and Chrome be aware they can store you browsing history, id and pwd. Lose your smart phone with simple pwd and you're completely compromised; Scammers have access to EVERYTHING. Ultra convenient having everything linked from PC to laptop to Smartphone to tablet but if any device is stolen/accessed the scammer have full access to your life.
I have been looking at that Gen 2 razor or even Gen 1, jumped onto that and was getting a wicked lottery deal worked out but something felt off in my Gut when he was short/didn't answer much.
Always trust you gut people, if I didn't I'd definitely be out $2000 right now. Had the EMT all made out and just needed to send him the password.
Time to keep looking for a Gen 2 or Gen 1
2000 for gen2 razor 4.5-27 is crazy deal!I Paid almost double of that for mine
Taxes really have their toll in these bracket of price items
Glad i got it from BC at 3599$+5%tax
If i would of read that review before yours or watching snipers hide on youtube, i would of turned away and purchase something else.
So if that negative review was easily debunked, there was lack of integrity.
Kinda like a ford rep reviewing a chevy truck.
Recently read another review, which made me doubt my choice of optics.
Review saying scope was very good and nice, until elevation was cranked to max, then that's when things start going sideways and image turns blurry.
Just hope mine won't be that way
Tilt
Tilted mounts are necessary when shooting at very long distances. We generally recommend as little tilt as possible as large amounts of tilt really may have a negative impact on the quality of the sight picture. In most cases 6-9 MIL (20-30 MOA) will have no negative impact on picture quality while still providing greater available adjustment range for long-range shooting.
To allow for the greatest available range of adjustment choose a mount with a tilt that is half of the scope’s range of elevation. For example Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 have a maximum elevation adjustment of 26 MIL (93 MOA,) you should therefore choose a mount with 13 MIL (45 MOA) in tilt. Doing so assures that you are able to adjust the sight out to very long distances.
However, when mounted in this extreme elevation it’s common to experience optical defects such as a oval pictures when shooting at near targets, etc. We therefore recommend that when fitting a large elevation scope (such as 26 MIL/93 MOA) on a .308 rifle that will only be used out to 1000 meters, to choose a 6 MIL/20 MOA tilt as it’s more than sufficient for that use.
