Fry's is a topic unto itself. Love em, hate em, but they likely have that
weird part you were looking for that the last four
electronics/computer/etc. store didn't stock anymore. Its like asking if
the jungle is a good place to get an elephant, sure, but it is a BIT
dangerous.

I would shop for a scope the same way as anything else, carefully figure
out what your requirements are, ask some smart people, shop for price.
