Where do you like to buy your optics?

[Wassid82]

I have purchased several optics (binos, rangefinders,rifle scopes, spotting scopes) and from a couple different places. Just wondering where most people are purchasing and is it because of good prices or good service. What about warranty issues do you prefer to try to go through the retailer or directly with the manufacturer? Thanks

I have been very pleased with Cameraland and Euro Optic.

Ordered a scope from cameraland last Friday - called them around noon, they matched a lower price online, shipped it that afternoon, and I had it in my hands yesterday.

My only experience with them so far, but definitely a happy customer!

I should also mention that although it wasn't optics, I have also purchased something from Rob at S&S Archery and received great customer service and fast shipping as well!

Cameraland, ebay, and from the classified ads here.

Optics Planet or directly from Vortex or Leupold to get Vet discount..

Cameraland has been very good to deal with and great prices when you mention rokslide

CameralandNY is awful tough to beat. They make you feel like a local customer even though you may live on the opposite side of the USA.

I like the classifieds here or eBay. I don’t mind waiting for a good deal and feel it’s worth it to save several hundred bucks on high end items.

A&A Optics, Alan sells refurbished Vortex warranty turn-ins for a fraction of the cost & they are still covered under the Vortex Warranty. I bought a set of 15x Vultures last year for 225.00. I believe retail is up over 500.

Like others, I’ve had great service from Cameraland.

Nothing but good things to say about Cameraland from me.

apparently cameraland is a good choice, but I've just used optics planet or amazon and gotten Vortex for their factory warranty

Outdoorsmans is a good option, great customer service and very knowledgeable.

If I was sure what I wanted, and the product was commonly known and considered good, I have shopped around. Sometimes everyone shows the same price for something. . .I saved a lot by calling Doug.

I bought all my rifle scopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes from SportOptics. Their customer service is outstanding in my book.

I called Cameraland and got a Rokslider price on a Kowa 553, however I was able to get a lower price from another dealer and purchased from them.

I bought a used Meopta MeoPro 80HD on ebay for a fair price.

I bought Maven B1's direct from Maven.

So I guess you could say I get around a bit.

I second AA Optics. The stock sometimes runs low, but check back often and try to catch it when they restock. Great value and the Vortex Warranty is hard to beat. Picked up a pair of Kaibab 15x56s for 50% of MSRP.
