Trust me as someone that just recently managed to get out from under a mountain of debt. It's far better than the alternative.

It's $219 SHIPPED FREE from Optics Planet, so I'd bet it meets or beats the $209 from Midway. BTW, thanks BobCat for the tip on this scope. Read 50 reviews online and it seems to please most everyone. 4 1/2 stars overall.

Need a "nervous giggle" smiley face...
Yes, I forgot about the free shipping, that's one of the things that pushed me over the edge toward buying it. And it arrived much sooner than I thought it might.
And... as far as being cheap, it is a good habit unless and until it drives your blood pressure out of sight. Paying e.g. $2.49 / ft for a piece of 3/4" galvanized steel plumbing pipe made my teeth ache (clenched jaw). But... Winchester White Box was $10.97 / 100 round box at wally world for so long, it didn't pay to reload that caliber. But I saved all the brass for years and now that it costs twice as much, instead of sticker shock, I get to reload once-fired 9 mm brass that I know is really once-fired.
G26ster, I hope you are as pleased with the scope as I am.
