ordered the CTD ammo about 720 rds so that should get me started. I need mags and a scope, a 1x or 2x short...Thanks
Dealer cost all depends on the quanity the retailer does with the distributor. A good example is a shop I know that sells new Glocks for $399.00 plus tax. They are the #3 dealer in the country and get a much better wholesale rate. Most Glocks have a dealer cost of around $450 and they sell them for $499, these guys are getting them delivered for $350.00 since they do so much volume... $525 NIB is a great price, you did good. I sold mine used 6 months ago with a Stainless Bushnell 3200 3-9x40 scope for $650.00. I have another one of those scopes NIB I'd ship you for $150. They run $209-239 new. Let me know.
Thanks GB, I want a 1x or 2x scope, short and light in dimension, prefer stainless color. I just feel the 3x for a hog at close range may be hard to do. I "think" the gun will be good to 100yds and maybe 150 but that is stretching it. After that, got any ideas??
Not really, most of the 1x, 2x, 4x, 1-4x, 1.5-4x, 1-5x, and even a 2-7x are going to run you more than $250 for a decent scope. I had the 3-9x40 Bushnell on mine and always kept it on 3X unless I was shooting past 100 yards. I have three or four more of those 3200 scopes as IMHO they are the best scope on the market for the money. The mini 30 will shoot out to 200-300 yards but with the light bullet doesn't have much knock down power left in it at those ranges...
I got this one for 100, will see how it works:
