Buy online....pay shipping
Buy in store .....pay tax
I can get a FFII here in town for less than 15 dollars difference than online, most the time.....same price. If I am shopping, that means I have a rifle in hand and want to shoot it ASAP, I wont wait for the UPS man, the dollar savings doesnt offset the want to have it now. Some of the other scopes I have are not stock items for most or all the shops here. But when I order scopes its from my local dealer who charges me 10 bucks over cost and shipping, shipping is split on the rest of his order from the same place......most the time I pay nothing. This comes in handy when ordering high end scopes, saves a ton of cash even after taxes.
On topic
They will have the same glass, I think the only difference is the knobs and color, I must say the knobs are terrible 40 clicks up and 40 clicks down does not return to the same zero, at least it didnt on the one I played with. Now the knobs on the XTR model are a different story, very positive with nice clicks worth the money.

This is the last thing i will say about this. Dave yes i said some things to you on the pm. Its not as bad as you are making it out to be, You are just trying to attack my character. I did it on a pm because i didnt feel it was appropriate to attack your character on the post. so who has the class? I dont mean anyone any harm but i will not just sit here and take your bull crap. And i know for sure if we were face to face you would close your mouth real quick, and keep you opinions to your self. You -issed me off with your intentional harassment, and i will not sit down and Take it! This is a closed Matter move on. I think everyone knows where I stand and where you stand, and i wouldnt want to be where you are standing on this one! If you dont like me thats fine I will not loose any sleep over it I guarantee it. I have enjoyed some of your opinions in the past, And i thought you were a different person, I guess i was wrong! Lee

Dave, I bet salesmen love to see you walk in the door. They know if they give you a little time and a sales pitch than you will feel obligated to compensate them for their time by purchasing the item regardless of cost.
Just to let you know I purchased a rifle from this same retailer about a month ago after researching and finding that they had the best price. They just don't have the best prices on scopes, but they do have them there for me to look at.

Yes Dave i did say a few man to man words with you are you going to be ok? Or do you need to see a therapist? It sounds to me like you are taking it pretty hard! For that i am sorry i didnt mean to upset you. Really i didnt. But if you think i owe GM a dime just because they are there for me to go into and look around your crazy! If there prices were more competitive i would buy from them, but they are not, and when you have the guy behind the counter telling you that you can buy this, xyz product ( actually it was a Armalite one piece scope mount) else where for less. I really dont think he cares weather i but it from him or not. And besides that I dont remember asking you your opinion about were I spend my money. Again I am sorry that i upset you with a few man to man words. I would have liked to do it on the post, but i thought as men we should have kept it between ourselves. Again I am truly sorry i upset your feelings. I meant no harm. Now just drop this stupid thing would ya. We all know where we stand, you made a mistake. So what, move on. I always do. Lee

doesn't make finacial sense to me
You have to remember that there are others who don't agree with your "finacial sense". You've already said that you are willing to spend hours on-line shopping for a better deal but don't seem to factor your time into the cost. Not sure about you but for something on the price of a FFII spending hours researching prices is not cost effective.
Not that I begrudge folks trying to save a little cash but I have a different frustration with it. While the salesman likes to see some people coming because they are more likely to buy something quicker I can assure you that there is a group of people that they just dread seeing coming, the new age internet price shopper. I am going to go ahead and generalize the internet price shopper even though I know not everybody is as bad. The internet price shopper, typically, is the guy who shows up with no intention of purchasing something but always has a story to keep the person on the counter thinking that they are right on the bubble of buying it, which fools nobody. The internet price shopper then proceeds to spend 15 times as long as an actual person really wanting to purchase with mountains of questions and continuing to spin a yarn to make everybody think he is a impulse buyer just needing one thing go right to make the sale. The stories are usually along the lines of "Yeah, just got a (windfall/bonus/side job/etc) that the wife/girlfriend does not know about and I need to get something bought before she finds out. Say, could I look at another 10 scopes and see all your literature for them while I ask every question known to man?" If I sound a little bitter it is because I am usually the guy that is next in line after the internet price shopper and more often than not have to leave before shopping if he is there.

I was wondering if maybe it was you behind the counter or that you own a gun shop, before I got to the end of your story.
I am not the guy that goes to that extreme. I will have 2 to 3 scopes that I have in mind and look at those. And if the price is inline with what I can get elsewhere then they will get my business.
Are you able to get a FFII 3-9x40mm for ~ $150? If not I can get one dropped off at the door and all I have to do is bend down and pick it up. As for waisting time on the internet looking for the best deal, I enjoy it so it's not waisted time in my opinion.
I see your point and it's your preference and I like to waist others time and my own on the net.

One word....CAPITALISM!! It works. Competition breeds improvement. The business (be it online or a retail store) that can provide what people want, when they want it, and at the price they want to pay for it, will be the one that sells it.
Gander Mountain has a method of achieving that with great retail stores, lots of inventory, and people behind the counter to help you out. Internet shops let you shop from home, sometimes at a better price, etc. Who's philosophy is best? I guess that depends on the customer.
For now, they seem to both be going strong. In the future?......only time will tell, but the great thing is that WE (the consumers) will decide.
God bless America!

I agree but I probably should clarify, before anybody gets the wrong idea, that my major problem is scope shopping. In the spirit of the thread that is what I was sticking with. Competition between sellers is healthy for both the consumer and the vendor. Like I said in my post I just don't like waiting in line behind the internet buyer who has no intention of making a purchase but will kill the time of the store and people who are legitimately buying. I also don't like folks who scratch lottery tickets in line while people are waiting behind them.
Edit to add that I also don't care for people who are just plain cheap. I think we all know the person who would gladly burn a gallon a gas to save 10 cents a gallon. Lets see - 20 gallons at .10 savings = 2 dollars. A gallon of gas = check your local station to see what was saved.

I could care less about this arguement on how you all shop and why this way or that way of shopping is the best. Sounds like the off season is in full swing now.
Back to the real question??????
Anybody even remember what it was??
The lenses are the same in both of the scopes.

are you talking a "new" scope ?? to your door including shipping ??
Yep new, and with shipping. Sometimes they get a little more expensive up to $157 with shipping. But I have purchased 2 news ones that were $150 to my door.
