I bought one from a wholesaler for under 500 bucks...the 6 x 24 Elite about 400-420 or so.. I think you can find the Buckmaster 4.5 x 14 for about 260 or so.. Much better pricing out there for certain.. As the old song said..Ya better shop around..

I have ordered a couple scopes from SWFA and have been very happy with the prices and the service. Wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. I bought my AR-10 lower last year and have been waiting to build it up. Might just get it done this year. Bought an AR-15 lower too last year and still haven't built that one up. Anyway, I'm planning on building both of them up as long range rifles and using Burris scopes on them. I'll probably go with a Burris Black Diamond on both rifles, but who knows. Maybe I'll go with the laserscope from Burris that automatically calculates bullet drop and puts the red dot exactly where I need to hold over out to 500 yards. I'll have to think about it some more.
