Oh it doesn't matter. Excellent scopes all around. It raised my attention to see how much they discounted this time, which is usually a sign of rolling out old stock for their next new product.
This is going to be the largest discount season SWFA has had since I've been watching.
$200 fixed 10x? $1000 illuminated 5-20 HD? Good lord. They might be moving stock because of an update.....who knows.....
Slight wind, differently cleaned barrel, you have a bad day, comfort level while shooting, etc.
.2 difference? That is minuscule when you figure in what I listed above.
This has been happening in a lot of industries. John Deere has been forcing buyouts on many of their chains to consolidate under single owners. It allows them to price set and eliminate competition between dealers.
This is never good for the buyer.
