RE: Good places to buy scopes
I am sorry, but you would be a fool to by a scope from cabelas or Bass Pro. There are many stores that you will be able to get one alot cheap then those two.

RE: Good places to buy scopes
Outdoor Wizard - I think that's a little out of line. There are a variety of factors that go into a purchase decision, price is just one of them. Maybe I'm getting a bunch of stuff at the same time, and your store doesn't stock that merchandise. Maybe I like Cabela's return policy, or Bass Pro's customer service. Go ahead and give us the link to your web store. We can browse and do price comparisons ourselves.

RE: Good places to buy scopes
Cal,
Don't get me wrong, I too buy stuff from Cabela's and Bass Pro. My comment was if someone was just buying a scope or pair of binoculars. Here is an example: Leupold Var-X III 3.5-10x40, Cabela's $488.00 with shipping charges, our store ( and others) $413.00 shipping included, bases on 2002 prices. To me a $75.00 savings could buy a new set of rings and bases, lens covers and others. Just my opinion, take it as you may.

RE: Good places to buy scopes
Outdoor Wizard - I hear you, and agree on the pricing. My thought was, as a representative of The Optic Zone, the more appropriate angle would have been to invite people to come check out your web site. The forums have a "no advertising or product marketing" rule, not certain which side of the line this'd fall on. If site/company reps take shots at each other the whole forum could suffer.
