Re: how are the vortex crossfire 6-24x50 for 99dollars I have two, that I bought for my son's 22LR trainers to shoot at 100 to 200 yards. They have enough adjustment to zero at 200 yards, and their mechanicals are definitely much better than the price they go for. However, the glass is not...

Re: Good Guy List I bought a Nikon scope from ORD. His communications was timely and courteous, he shipped extremely fast with perfect packaging, the scope was in excellent shape and just as described. I made a friend in the process. You cannot wish any better from anyone. ORD is a class act...

www.rrarms.com: I got an email alert from them for a rifle I was waiting for, but I have not been able to get on their site for 2 weeks. Has anybody heard anything about them?

Re: ZFM If it's in really good shape and you can find a military collector for it, you might get a few hundred dollars for it, as they are not easy to find. But, to the ordinary user, it is worth much less. You might want to ask on a black gun site? In this case, really it totally depends...
