Title: CameralandNY?
Post by: GoldTip on March 18, 2010, 07:23:43 AM: Has anyone here used this company to purchase optics? Have heard good things on other hunting sites about them, but thought I'd check with HuntWA brethren to see if anyone had used them in the past. Thanks for any input.

Post by: Jamieb on March 18, 2010, 10:11:10 AM: I've sent Doug a few dollars the last few years. Great company to deal with. Whenever I'm looking for optics other then Leupold I always start my search
on the Cameraland website, checking for demo's.

SWFA gets most of my business.
BearBasin gets none.

Post by: AWS on March 18, 2010, 12:39:34 PM: I was looking for a new spotting scope and Doug turned me on to a Bushnell that I wouldn't have even thought about for a lot less than I thought I'd have to pay. It is perfect for what I use it for. I can usually wait till I can find a screaming deal on something I need so most of my scopes come from other places. My latest is a new Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5x10x40mm for $259 last week .

Only bad thing is they don't carry Leupold.

Guess that would be a matter of opinion. ;)

As I said I don't have a problem with the company but you have to wonder why they wouldn't sell one of, if not the only, optics that are made in the USA.

Maybe they prefer to sell a better product :dunno:

Post by: AWS on March 18, 2010, 06:32:15 PM: Actually I believe they don't handle Leupold because they can't discount Leupolds because Leupold requires them to sell at a certian price. Why would anyone buy a Leupold from Camaraland if they can get it localy for the same price. I'm sure if it is really important to you you could just give Doug a call and ask him.

Post by: jackelope on March 19, 2010, 03:01:09 PM: you used to be able to tell them you were a member of monstermuleys and they would give an additional discount. you just had to ask for Joel or Doug on the phone.
