Online optics retailers - opticsplanet etc

[Socalman]

Is optics planet legit? What are other online retailers for optics?

Many folks here recommend s&s, NY cameraland etc. I would rather support these outlets (i usually shop small / local when I can), but just curious about your experiences with some of these online retailers who seem to show good prices

I’ve bought from OpticsPlanet with no issues. I’ve used PredatorOptics. He does get good prices. Never tried CameraLand but it’s mentioned a lot on this site.

Have bought many times from optics planet. If you put something in your cart or wishlist they will start sending more discount codes for a few more bucks off. The only bad thing is they sometimes show items in stock that are not. Turns into a waiting game

Eurooptic is a good place to shop. Optics planet is legit I just prefer Eurooptic.

I've done business with all listed. Optics planet will always act like they have everything in stock but often they will take much longer to ship. Euro and cameraland will actually call you if there's an issue.....and you're talking to one of just a few employees and possibly even the owners themselves.

Eurooptic or Cameraland. Both great prices and customer service.

Cameraland is great people. I usually look there first when I'm serious about buying. EuroOptic and their sister side Scopelist is good too. Optics Planet generally has the widest assortment to browse but you've got to watch their out of stock and backorder stuff. There're things on backorder that have been out of production for years with stupid estimated in stocks of 3-6 weeks, 3-6 months, etc. Shipping is decently fast on in-stock items though. DVOR is Optics Planet's sister site that is a free membership, and sometimes the deals on there are nothing short of spectacular. Shipping is SLOW and returns are store credit only, so there's that to consider. They don't only sell optics. I bought several hunting coats around $800 retail cost earlier this for $200.
