Telephone Orders & Questions: 925-825-9801


STOCKING DEALER

We are a large authorized stocking dealer for Leica, Swarovski, Kahles, Leupold, Nikon, Meopta, Trijicon, Schmidt & Bender, Steiner, Zeiss, Minox, Pentax, Kowa, Burris, etc, etc. We therefore stock a very large selection of optics that are ready for immediate shipment. At last count our inventory of premium brand optics was in excess of 1,000 optics!! It is our policy to offer our customers only products that carry full USA warranties. Therefore we do not deal in gray market goods.

NO GRAY MARKET GOODS!

It is our policy NOT to offer gray market goods of any type. Typically leaves the consumer with very little if any warranty protection. Swarovski Optik for example will ONLY warranty items purchased from an Authorized Swarovski North America dealer. Zeiss, Leica and many of the other high end optics companies have similar policies. This is significant because if your optic breaks and it was purchased from a gray market dealer, then what you have is a very expensive paperweight. Therefore, we donot carry any gray market goods because we want our customers to have the full warranty protection you deserve for your premium optic investment.

SHIPPING POLICY

We ship all orders immediately!! Until otherwise noted, all orders of over $199 and in the lower 48 states will be shipped free of charge via UPS/FedEx ground service. Express shipping promotions apply to the continental USA only. Delivery times on Express shipping range from 2 to 4 business days with a substantial portion of shipments being delivered within 2 days. Free Shipping does not apply to Gun Safes unless otherwise stated.

Also, we do not do price matches on gray market items (as well as items from non authorized dealers) most gray market items are not covered under warranty by the manufacturer or have a partial warranty, close-outs, refurbished or used goods. Therefore we only sell and price match items with full USA warranties that are brand spanking new and produced currently. Also we donot do price matching on auction sites.
