I'm certain you do need to be 21, because Federal law now prohibits you from buying a handgun under that age. (I'm not certain about long guns now; it used to be 18. But long before that, when I was under twenty-one, it was sixteen. I actually had a sixteen year-old friend in high school who held a Federal Firearms License (FFL#1). But that was more than a lifetime ago.)
The scopes I'm talking about are the Chinese-made pistol scopes which sell for between $29.99 to $49.99 depending on features. I think they are sometimes called "Nu-Star," and at other times marketed under other names --- but they are all really the same. FYI, another place to buy Chinese goods for really cheap prices is Harbor Freight Tool. A month or so ago there was a rush when people on the C&R mailing list found out you could buy electronic hearing protectors from Harbor Freight for $20.00. I let that one go by me, but those who bought them said they are certainly as good as the ones seen in Sportsman's Guide and other places for between $70-$100.
