Quote: In my quest for a scope with either a German #1 or #4 reticle I keep coming across great deals on scopes that have rails attached.
I have a number of scopes with #1 and #4 reticles and none of these have rails. The rail scopes did not seem cheaper either. Perhaps they are because you are in the USA where they are less common than in Europe and harder to sell?
I think it would be cheaper to buy a rail-less scope than to buy one with a rail and have it removed. Cosmetics alone might make it unsightly afterwards.
