Optics Planet would be my last choice after exhausting all options with the vendors on this site. Not that they don't have decent prices, but with our vendors, you will get the same good prices AND personal service. When you put out that much money for a toy, it's good to know there is someone whom you have grown to know by name only a phone call away when you have a problem.Ive messaged the site sponsor Third coast, but has anyone found a vendor which has good prices. Or is Opticsplanet the go to option for high end thermals.
Maybe somebody can correct me on this...... And I'm by no means bashing or even putting down local vendor's or sponsor's of this site, I'm sure they are great people.
I purchased my first thermal through optics planet, was a great experience, you can haggle with them. I think they knocked 3-400 of the thermal by just asking. I did have an issue with my Armasight a year later, and I just went directly to Armsight with my questions and repairs needed.
Are the dealers or sponsor's mentioned doing work on thermals? Or would you still have to go direct to the manufacture? If they aren't, is the only advantage being able to talk to them? And in that case, wouldn't you still want to talk with the Armasight, or whoever, Techs that would actually be repairing the thermal?
A warranty from the manufacture is just as good through Optics planet as it is through any other authorized vendor isn't it????
