remington1187 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi all, has anybody used the above mentioned website to purchase any optics? They are the same company and was just wondering what their service was like. Thanks Remmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've bought a couple of scopes from optics warehouse without issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remington1187 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wow, thanks for the quick replies. I had my eye on the Leupold MK4's they have in stock but am rather worried as I know there are a significant number of fake Leupolds on the market.

Billy. Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 That being said... My faulty scope wouldn't really have been OW's fault. I received the scope pretty sharpish and they're fairly priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I bought a Nikko Sterling nighteater from OW and it fell to bits. yes but what did you do to it before it fell apart I've used them as well and the prices tend to be the best about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turrets don't engage any more, the parralax adjuster wobbles all over the place and no longer seats on the turret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I bought binos, a bipod and electronic ear defenders from them. I ordered at 2pm and they arrived the next day. They were cheapest by a fair amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've bought 2 scopes, stoney point bipod (very good!), F1 Chrony, all excellent price, and next day delivery. I'm currently looking for yet another scope (boys & toys....) and will probably use these peeps again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Ordered a set of Leupold rimfire rings yesterday, and they were on the door mat this morning Can't get better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have had several scopes and mounts from Opticswarehouse, the first was face to face at one of the Game Fairs many years ago now, since then several mail order. I am happy and have no issues, I have heard tales though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadioles Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have bought several things from them over the past year or so and delivery has been quick and reliable. The way they do business purely by email / internet makes me feel very uneasy and I really hate dealing with a company that does not want you to talk to them on the phone as if something goes wrong you need access to a person. That is where Uttings, Scott Country and the others are so much better. Having said that though, when I have asked Optics Warehouse / Scopes Direct to telephone me (by leaving them a message on their web site) they have done so and been extremely pleasant to deal with. Their argument is that talking on the phone is inefficient. A fair point as it keeps costs down. So, I have only had good experiences with them, I will use them again, I would be happier if they were more open about contact details and published a phone number.

Ian750 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Bought 2 Nikko Stirling scopes from Optics Warehouse on separate occasions, both have been spot on and delivered next day. I'd definately buy from them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_fox Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Recently bought a scope on Ebay, when it arrived it had come from Optics Warehouse but quite a bit cheaper than their list price. Perhaps they sell off their old stock this way. Have also used OW for a very expensive Leupold scope and the quality, delivery and service was excellent.
