credible on-line optics suppliers

I've been looking for a Kowa spotter for an upcoming hunt. Cameraland doesn't have it in stock. What are some other suppliers you've dealt with on optics that are credible? thanks much.

What Kowa product are you looking for that we don't have? We're a full line Kowa stocking dealer. Please give me a call, 516-217-1000
Doug

Check with Scott at liberty optics

They offer great prices and service

These folks are good to go.

3 I’ve dealt with.

1. CameralandNY
2. SportOptics / Interstate Guns in Hammond LA.
3. EuroOptics.

B&H Photo & Video is also good.

Cameraland, and Cameraland also...... Cameraland. I made personel and work purchases with them and they have always come through for me.

Optics and ammo

Houston Texas

Great deals, fast delivery

I’ve learned to call Camera Land first, because they always end up being my last call.

Doug’s prices can’t be touched, and, as you can see, he is right here to deal with issues, year after year.

Since he reached out, I might give Camera Land a call and ask for him personally.

Here’s a hint: you’re not going to do better on this Kowa purchase.

^^^This is the worst April Fools joke ever.^^^

Back in the 1990s SWFA had ads in SHOTGUN NEWS and the girls who answered the phone had southern accents.

Camera land PERIOD

yes, check with Doug first. outstanding service

I switched from Optics Planet to Camera Land and have never looked back.

I never had any problems with Optics Planet except when it comes to getting expert advice and someone you can trust on the phone, Camera Land's service has my business forever.

I've bought a number of optics from Cameraland and have been happy with their service. I think Eurooptic is also good. B&H Photo seems pretty good. I've never had any problems with Optics Planet either, but haven't used them for a while.

Bought my first optic from Camera Land in 2012 and never looked back. I’ve dealt with Neil on a couple of occasions and can’t speak highly enough about him. Even if Camera Land is a little higher than another store I will purchase from them because when you consider their service you’re still getting the best deal.

Purchased once from B&H, good experience.
Once or twice from EuroOptic, all good.
I live within driving distance of SWFA, have been a little underwhelmed by the attitude and service since Skylar left.
Optics Planet-if they are the absolute only option I would use them but grudgingly. My personal experience with them on a couple of occasions left a bad taste in my mouth.

Read it all the time.

EuroOptic
Cameraland

SWFA.

Cameraland, Cameraland, Cameraland, great people to do business with, I first did business with them in the late 70's for a new Nikon camera, if they say they have it you'll see it soon. I ordered a SWFA scope on a Black Friday sale only because it had a ocular housing smaller than anything on the market, cancelled it last week as they still didn't know when it would arrive, and the reviews weren't that hot anyways, just hope the scope I have(Leupold Compact 2-7) doesn't bite the dust.

I've used Bear Basin Outfitters off and on over the years, have never had an issue. Also read Shotgun News sometimes too.

I would start with Doug, IF he can not help you then look elsewhere. Thinking you will not need to go any farther than Cameraland.

Have dealt with Europtics and Bear Basin too. A long time ago...

Have you called Doug yet????

Shotgun news was a great publication. I used to read it all the time. It was my go to for everything gun related before you could order stuff online.
As far as scopes, I have been buying from optics planet, and midway USA. Looks like I need to check out Camera Land for my next one.

Cameralandny is my first choice! Best customer service that one can get.

Thank you for the confidence, the support and the kind words. Pop would be very pleased. This November is our 65th Anniversary, which is very exciting for us. As Pop taught us, customer service is paramount
