Just ordered a Thompson center 1x32, $165 shipped. Optics planet

Good luck.....mine has been backordered for over 4 months.  I'm thinking it is not coming.  I found two used Nikons and snatched them up quick.  If I were you, I would be looking for a second option.

you got one for each of us?

Excellent!

Not that I have heard of.....just anticipating so stocked up early.  If I'm wrong I can always use them on the Muzzy for general season or put them on some .22's.

Unfortunately, that reminded me of this post.

True that. I've done a lot of business with them in the past and optic planet. I am done with optic planet cause of there dishonest sales they are doing. I'm about done with powder valley.

AGREE letting you go on back order status forever don't work for me

That's exactly why I just ordered from Ebay for delivery by end of week.  Ordered from OP in February for March delivery, changed to July delivery, now August or who knows when.

Well there are scopes available on the used market.  I posted a want to buy on another forum today and picked up three 1X scopes.   A new Vortex, a Traditions and a Pentax Lightseeker SG.  All at very good prices.
Are these red dots, or reticles?  I am not finding much that isn't red dot...
These are all scopes. With Reticles.   Most manufacturers have discontinued the 1X scopes.  I've heard that TC 1X scope has been discontinued.

That's my understanding also, actually discontinued several years ago.  If you guys ordered TC 1x scopes they either JUST brought them back or there is a screw up at Optics Planet.

I think the words "screwed up" and "Optics Planet" are synonymous.  I have ridden that pony before.  Not even looking there...

Ok, so is red dot better than a cross hair type scope?  What do you guys think of the vortex viper red dot?  They say it's for a pistol, but will it work on my CVA optima, and work to 100 yards out?  Never had a red dot before.

I'm looking at red dot sights too. Since I can't find a regular 1x scope. Not sure about the Vortex one. From reviews on Midway I'm looking at the UltraDot brand. They're priced a little higher than I really wanted to spend, but a lot less than Aimpoint or other popular brands.

I'm by no means an expert on red dots ,
If it where me I would look for red dots made for shotgun or rifle . Just for better chance of it holding zero.

I bought this for $26 on amazon, unscrewed the lens on each end and works great.  Fixed 1x power, adjustable crosshairs and no glass to fog!

This one is on eBay.  I need to find a nickle plated muzzy to match it.  Growing up, I had good luck with Tasco.

85 bucks.  Im going for it. :dunno:
