Thread: Optics planet

Hi has anyone bought anthing off optics planet before?
https://www.opticsplanet.com/
And yes they are USD prices.
Also is getting a scope into the country easy enough nowdays with all the firearms restrictions that are around?

Bought a pair of binos last year, no problems, no issues with customs. Took a couple of weeks to process and deliver. I guess you know to sign up and wait for a discount coupon, 10% is standard

Long waits and very touchy about exporting clicky turret scopes.

I paid by Visa. Was fluffed around for approval, and after I gave them a reminder they sent it. Then it was rejected by the postal service and returned to them. They refunded my dosh but by then the value of our dollar had changed and with fees it cost me nearly $100. It was just an ordinary cheaper Burris 5 -20 or such like. Never again.

My one and only experience with Optics Planet was not good. The scope I ordered showed as being in stock but it took 3 months, several emails and a couple of phone calls before it was sent. Cameraland NY is a far better company to deal with.

Correct. A member of this forum recently approached Doug direct via the Rimfire central forum and the answer was NO.

What's wrong with The Opticzone? I've always had excellent service from them.

Optics Planet are well known for not holding stock, they generally appear to only buy in from the manufacturer what they have firm orders for.
Notoriously slow and frustrating if not understood before hand. I’d say it keeps them price competitive though.

I bought one or two scopes from them a few years ago which worked out fine but it looks like this may have changed from the reviews above.

Ordered 13 Nov 2013, shipped 03 Jan 2014.

Definitely competitive price. The Burris scope I was looking at is currently around $330 cheaper than over here.
Thats a saving over a days wages for me or 3/4 of a days spending for my wife haha. Havent heard of optic zone yet. Ill check them out too
I have used a site called the rifle scope store before but that was over 10 years ago and I cant find them on the net anymore haha

I found optic zone to be pretty good, never had an issue
