Renting a Scope
      05/09/08 12:14 PM

Has anyone heard of a place that you can rent a scope to test them out? I wouldn't mind spending the money to have it sent out to test for a month...It would be nice to "test drive" a scope for a while before commiting to the purchase.

I have looked all over the internet and asked my local hobby shop but nothing has turned up....I imagine that you could really make some money in doing this.

The only place I have seen is: http://www.scopes4rent.com/ (It has a decent selection but not what I am looking to purchase)
