Looks like they changed the price?

JB62 · Mar 3, 2015

Yep, $429, still have free shipping and cabelas bucks but would jump on it for the op's price.

Damn looks like it changed that quick. I wonder if it was a typo? Glad I ordered one as soon as I saw it up. Sorry guys, I was hoping someone else could get in on it.

You could have ordered several and made a killing. Oh well! I hope you they honor it for you!

Yeah even if I sold them just for the 224$ and kept the 50 Cabelas cash on each one.

Why do they (meaning all distributors) buy so many plex style reticles? Seems they're always the ones on clearance because most people want a better reticle, especially on a high magnification scope.

:shrug:

Hunters like the plex reticles. For range use I prefer a fine plex reticle. You can dial in range on the turrets if you need to shoot longer distances. You are correct though that todays consumer likes the bells and whistles of more complicated reticles.

guthook · Mar 3, 2015

Yep.

Growing up in the '80's, I think this explains my fascination with TMR reticles. :lol2:

I found a Leupold VXII 6-18 for $299 at Sportsman's guide a year or so ago. I assumed it was mismarked but they honored it.

Russ D · Mar 4, 2015

Just got a backorder email from Cabelas. Looks like they are honoring the price but it's not expected in for 3 months. I think I can wait that long for a deal this good.

Russ D · Mar 6, 2015

So in the middle of the night I get an email from Cabelas that the scope shipped. Strangest thing is they shipped me the scope and never charged my credit card. Tracking says it will be here tomorrow.

Russ D · Mar 12, 2015

Scope came in with the 50$ Cabelas cash. I used that to buy a Nightforce 20 moa base. So my cost for the scope was 174$.

Don't worry, I've heard directly from Vortex that they're discontinuing the V-plex reticle in some models of their line-up.

The Viper HS 6-24x50 for example.

Russ, smoking deal on that. I got that mag out earlier today for you.

People who review stuff on company websites never cease to amaze me. They give a scope '5 stars' when their review is: I just got this and it looks really great in the box. :rolleyes:

Not a single shot fired, no gun sighted in but they have to 'review' their new possession.

Thanks bud, I really appreciate the kindness. I hope I can repay you for it.

Yeah that always drives me crazy. FWIW The scope is very bright and the clicks are crisp. Vortex Viper scopes are a good value and the normal retail prices. At this price it really is a steal.

Really good deal on a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10-44
