    Vortex 4-12x50mm Crossfire II scope for $169.00 at B&H Photo. Rings are additional. Comes with a free mini flashlight. Free shipping and no tax was charged on the one I just bought. That scope usually goes for $199.99. I have no clue how long that sale will last.

    I should point out that when I first looked at the item's page, it showed as selling for $199.99 but the price was printed in a lighter shade than usual that gave me the hint the price would be different in the shopping cart; although, I think my link above shows it with the $169 price. Anyway, I added it to my cart and it came up as $169.00.

    Just a comment - When I can buy from B&H, I do. Those are some great people to do business with and have been so consistently throughout the 40+ years I've bought from them.

    For buying camera gear, B&H or Adorama were always my first thought. For rifle optics, I never seem to think of them. Not sure why. Mental block.

    Not on a gun but on your cell phone so you can buy gun stuff ;)

    I got a text from verizon saying they are offering double data on a prepaid account. So I am now at 6gb a month for 35 bucks. It works on all plans under unlimited and it says you can upgrade or downgrade and still keep the double data as long as your account is current.

    Now take that with a grain of salt as my grandfathered unlimited plan was pulled for no reason <other than the gobs of data I was using on my unlimited account lol> and if they were not the only service that works at home I would never use them.

    The add online say its on new accounts but I just logged into my account and chatted with a rep and she upgraded my current account.

    The text said it ends 12/9 but that is also when my payment is due so I duno what the real end date is but if your interested I would do it tonight.

    TMobile has a veterans plan for $120 a month unlimited everything. My family has 6 of us on it at $20 each a month. No one I have found has been cheaper or better than that. Taxes included. Only one of you need to be a veteran but 4 of us are.

    Nice of them to offer that to vets but their service sucks, at least around the Texarkana area. I switched to them a couple of months ago, along with my son onthe same account. His service in Benton, AR is somewhat better than mine in TX. Hopefully, wherever you are, their service is much better than here.

    Never had an issue except in far west Texas open areas. But even that has improved over time. The Austin area has great coverage. With the new 5g coming they will have the correct freq. to get faster speeds and cover more area, or I am hoping. Also waiting for SpaceX to get their satellites up and running as that will solve a lot in my opinion.

    I placed a couple of orders at Cheaper Than Dirt awhile back after not having ordered from them for years. I ordered an AR and an AK from them - excellent prices. About 10 days ago, while looking at knives on their site I came across one I wanted to order and put it into my cart. When I did so, I noticed that I had accrued points. For what purpose I did not know but it was asking if I wanted to use them and I had about 1,400 points to use. When I clicked on "Redeem" it said I could use so many points for so much of a dollar reduction in my order. 600 points got me the highest cash off - $40.00. The knife I was buying, a Ka-Bar 1234 Gamehook (with sheath) usually sells for from $37.95 to $54.99 plus shipping. It was $44.31 at CTD plus $6.95 shipping and .93 sale tax. for a total of $52.19. After using my poonts I paid $12.19 for it. That is a good deal.

    While the above was not a gun related deal, I just placed another order and used another 600 points. In the new order I bought a brick of 22LR and two 3 point rifle slings. The slings were $23.38 for both, the ammo was $21.60, the shipping $11.95 (higher than the standard $6.95 they charge for USPS shipping because ammo cannot go via USPS and is being sent by UPS), and the tax $1.40 for a total of $58.33. I paid 18.33 after the discount for my points on that second order.

    I never heard a peep from CTD that they were giving points, they may have notified me in an email but I just delete them as I receive them. Anyway, if you buy from CTD and did not realize they give points toward cash off of future purchases, you may want to check your account. Those points made some decent deals very good ones for me.
