Vortex Optics Dealer--ElkNut1
KillBilly:
Let me clarify lest I be misunderstood. I am thinking about some new optics and Vortex are a possibility. Now I am confused on where to get the best price. I naturally went to the Vortex site for pricing. I am not trying to start an argument, just asking for clarification.

Houndhunter LOL!!!! I don't think so!! (grin)
KillBilly, Yes, the Vipers do list at 609.00 that's what they'd cost you if you ordered them direct, but I sell them for less! 509.00 is what we sell them for & of course I'm talking new in the box with great looking carrying case & lens cleaning kit. The Vipers are awesome! They are unreal bright & clear. The warranty is unmatched!
If anyone is needing to save a buck I have a demo model here I've used for the last few months, I can sell them for less since they're used! PM me if interested? They still have the case & kit of course! Thanks!
Shawn, did you buy them new? All Vortex dealers have a set limit on how low the price can be, 400.00 is no where near it. I understand if they were used, but if new you might not want to say by whom as they would lose their Dealers privilege. I promise you no where can you buy them for 400.00 new!

KillBilly, yes I do represent Vortex, as a Dealer of course. We as dealers are allowed a profit margin, we can go as high as they allow or as low as they allow so not one of us can be ridiculously low & put companies out of business or where they wouldn't consider carrying Vortex products! It's simple as that!

My Vortex spotting scope was made in China. But it does carry the life time transferable warranty. Also, the guys at Vortex are a pleasure to deal with. They are very customer service oriented.
I've looked through the Razor and Viper binos.... both are really good. For the price the Viper is almost untouchable. In the 450-550 $ range those things flat out kick ass.
I've only looked through 1 of their rifle scopes. I wasn't overly impressed.... it was good but it wasn't cheap($). Their price point on them doesn't look to be as good as their binos/spotters. But having said that I haven't really had a chance to compare them fully w/ other riflescopes on the market. I'm basing that more on just that in the $ ranges you'd pay for 1 of their rifle scopes theres some pretty stiff competition.
All in all I truly believe they are a top notch company that produce some great optics at some really good prices.
Elknut1:
Interesting! I will look into it further to see what's actually produced in the Japan area!
