Rifle Scopes Demo scopes

I have two an ATACR 5 x 25 and an ATACR 7 x 35. Both function flawlessly and come with Nightforce's warranty. One is on a 338LM and the other a 300NM
Has anyone ever purchased a demo scope? I was looking at nightforce demos and was wondering what to expect if buying one.

Picked up a demo Kahles K16i not long ago. I honestly couldn’t tell it was a demo. It looks brand new. I wouldn’t hesitate to go the demo route again from a reputable company.
 
I've bought demo units from Mike High and Euro Optic WTH great success, and would do it again without hesitation.

Just makes sure that you're buying from a reputable dealer, and that you fully understand any effect on warranty coverage.

I bought a pair of Swarovski SHOT Show floor demo 8x40 EL binoculars from SWFA twenty years ago.. I dunno, a few hundred people probably picked them up, looked through them, and put 'em down. Someone walked off with the objective lens covers, but I think I got $300 off. They still work great for me.
 
I've also heard and read these are very good deals. I have probably spent money on new when the savings on a Demo would have paid for a muzzle break or some other item I needed.
