I recall reading that USO has a discount on their scopes every year around the time of the Shot Show as a commemoration. Am I recalling correctly?

Is this at the SHOT show only, with actual cold hard cash? I've bought two SN-3s this year with "cash" (checks) and received no discount.

Re: USO Discount
I am assunming you will never get a discount if you do not ask for it.
I am actually in the market for three pieces of glass. I was going to buy two of them a few weeks ago, but I did not.
I am going to wait until after the first of the year. IMO there is going to be a lot of discounts after the first of the year. I have already seen 8% discounts on NF. So it is just a matter of time. Things are tough out there right now, and cash will be KING after the first of the year. Tom.

Re: USO Discount
Last advertised discount was the Xmas, end of the year, customer thank you discount. I believe it was 10%.

Unrelated to USO discounts, but relevant to HOGHEAD's post, saw that the Optics Zone has a Veteran's Day discount if anyone's interested....

The discounts at SHOT are so they don't have to be shipped back home. Not that anyone would break the rules and actually "sell" anything at SHOT
Cheers,

Re: USO Discount
I know this, USO will be increasing the price 5% across the board for 2010. So if you get your $ in before the end of the year you just gave yourself a 5% discount.

Prices on the website reflect a 3% (or whatever) cash discount. This is the legal way of saying they charge 3% to use a credit card because most merchant account agreements preclude charging customer's more for using a CC. Offering some people a discount and others not is not the same as charging a fee, at least that is the commonly established precedent.
Just to be clear, I'm not calling USO out for this or complaining in any way. This is pretty standard practice and I have no problem at all that USO does not make an extra 3% of off customers who don't use CCs (which is what it costs +/- USO to process the transaction.)
Or maybe they do it for an entirely different reason and I have no idea what I'm talking about. This is pure supposition.

WORST part about this was that I actually logged on to the website looking for a Veteran's day discount!

Re: USO Discount
Thanks JBW#3 for the discount offer. I did not see it until just now but I appreciate it none the less. USO is tops in my book.
