    Are they OK to deal with? Got my eye on a benchrest scope from them.

    Dead sound. Optics Trade EU.

    I've bought 3 scopes from them over the years and had no issues.

    Looking at getting a bipod and a few more bits and pieces in the coming weeks as well.

    Another happy customer, great customer service too as I was asking about specs of a specific scope.

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    Usually takes 3-5 working days for delivery if I recall, assuming they have your item in stock.

    Another good reason to use them these days is there is no possibility of Customs issues.

    I can't get their page to display properly on my computer. I've tried Chrome, Explorer and Edge.

    I ordered a vector optics scope off them and like yours it had a ship in one month after order at bottom of it.After 3 weeks they emailed me and said they were having supply issues and it would be another 5 weeks before it would be shipped so I'd be waiting 2 months.

    Cancelled order and went onto AliExpress and ordered direct from vector optics.Had it in 10 days would of had it in less if it didn't get stuck in DHL as I needed to pay duty which I knew I would but they never bothered contacting me I had to contact them.Vat is paid when ordering so duty should be small enough I think I paid 20e.

    The above is no comment on how good the company is to deal with when they have optics in stock but I thought 8 weeks was a bit too long.Also if buying from AliExpress you register scope online and if any problems you send it to Germany for repair or replacement.

    Just checked with discounts added on AliExpress the scope comes in at 209 vat included and free delivery so you only pay customs duty.

    You might let us know how you get on with your new optic. Spec seems to be good.

    That's good.I got a 4-16-44 and so far like it alot.The glass seems good and clear and it works fine with my pard.They supply rings that are good quality but mine would seem to be high where I could of done with medium but until the weather clears up and I get to zero it with medium rings it will do.
