Thread: Which oversea company to import scope through

I am not sure who to use to bring a scope in for a recently purchased .223
Anyone had dealings with the various USA stores?
Optic planet , Optic Zone, Cabela's , Natchez, NY camera land, etc etc
Really just after good prices and hassle free importing .<

I've bought from Natchez and Brownells before, good experience with both.
Natchez has some unreal deals from time to time, especially Nikons and Weavers. But unfortunately I don't think they ship to NZ anymore.

Natchez and The Optic Zone have been very good to me.

Cameraland NY

I tried to import a tree stand from optic planet a while back, after a month of them receiving my order they still had not made their mind if they were going to send it or not. I cancelled my order at the end. There are better companies to deal with out there .

dealt with them but never ended up ordering although optic zone, optics planet and cameralandny all have good reputations.
I have used euro optic (which even lists in NZD) and had no problems.

Cooool.... what are we looking at buying @viper ?

Bought maybe half a dozen scopes thru Opticzone. Jon is good to deal with. Highly recommended. They still have a discount system. Currently 11%.

One Weaver GS 4-16 (why didn't I buy more??) on special from Natchez. They no longer export.

A Weaver thru Bruno Sports. Expensive, they even seperately charged me for the polystyrene packing material. Could have just hidden the cost in the scope price.

And a few others through small players. They were all good to deal with.

Haven't used Cameraland NY but Doug has a good reputation here and in the States.

Natchez told me that they don't send internationally anymore when I rang them. I've bought scopes through them before; but then the shopping cart wouldn't accept international shipping options. So I gave them a buzz to check

I have used OpticZone with great experiences each time!

Euro optic have been good in the past.

Got a ZCO scope from OpticsTrade recently, no hassle, good service and no import permit required. Sometimes you got free shipping as well.

Nothing Crazy mate, just looking at my options and trying not to let my piggy bank get raped while getting a scope.

I suggest that you get on the Cameraland NY mailing list, and then you can watch out for their discounts and sharp deals. The Open Box specials can be very good.

The open box specials are awesome at CameralandNY. Mate got Nightforce spotter $1600 to his door.
I’ve got another certain brand with zero stop side focus that are $1300 here, on the way for $800 landed.
