So lets start this off right, I live in Ohio and do not work and or affiliated with them. I have a hunt coming up in a few months and I landed on a scope. A leupold 115009 vx6 34 mm tube and tmoa reticle. It is perfect for what I want. I looked through our sponsor as I always try and use them first. Two of them had them at 1250 which was the best price I could find.

Searching the internet I found this company and they had it listed at 1139 delivered. I called them and asked if the price was guaranteed and they stated yes. I am just very very skeptical of someone being that much lower than all other people out there.


Has anyone used them. And while where at it will any of the sponsor match an advertised price.
 
They're top - notch; I buy all my camera - related equipment from them, never had an issue.
 
My dad used to buy all sorts of camera equipment from them, as far back as about 30 yrs ago
 
Great company! Their brick and mortar store is mind boggling. I dare anybody walking into that store looking for pro/amateur equipment, i.e., video, sound, printers, tripods, spotting scopes, scopes and yada yada yada, not leaving a large chunk of change there. It. Is. Absofuckingloutely. Amazing. Especially if you are a serious photographer. Go up to a by brand name counter and ask for any camera body and any lense or accessory and they will plop it down on the counter in front of you. I'm talking about Sports Illustrated/ NFL sidelines/Olympics type of equipment. You can easily put your hands on to a $10,000 body/lens combo just for the asking.

I've been there several times and it's near impossible not to fall in to a trance-like state of born again gearhog bliss. And, if you ever decide to visit the store is 1 block from Penn Station. Safety is a non-issue. The block you walk down is home to the NYC General Post Office, zip 10001. High security is a given.

So, order away!
 
I've been dealing with them for years. They are one of the most honest customer service oriented companies I have dealt with. First class all the way.
 
Very overpriced on most items IMO but reputable and very well established company.

B&H is probably the most trusted source for optics and camera equipment. You cannot go wrong with them. We get worried about a $1,139 purchase, but they deal with camera lens purchased in this hundred's of thousands. So yes, they cannot be trusted completely.

Let us know how you like the scope!
 
I bought some camera equipment from them several years ago and the transaction was flawless. I would work with them again anytime.... as a matter of fact I had forgotten about them! Headed that way shortly myself
 
Been there in person and have purchased online. Deal with confidence...
 
B&H is good to go, spent over 10K with them in the last couple of years and not a single problem. That being said, I would take Scott up on his offer ^^^
 
Ordered camera equipment and binos from them over the years with no issues. But sounds like u got a good quote from a hide member
 
B&H is a great store. Their customer service is fantastic. If you go in the shop, prepare to be impressed since everybody there seems to know a LOT about their products. Run by all Hasidic Jews, so not open on Saturdays. Good people, good prices. What's not to like?
 
<----- Multiple B&H purchases, every year, for the past 25 years. I wouldn't keep going back if it wasn't always a smooth experience.
 
I have bought quite a bit of cameras and equipment from them in the past and never had a problem. But, for a scope I would go with the offer from Scott.
 
B&H Top notch online dealer....i purchased camera related items thru the years in fact they suck me dry....
 
I've been buying all of my camera equipment from them since 2007. I've never had a problem. Their shipping is always fast and packed well. Buy with confidence.
 
Been buying from them since 2000. Just bought a new 500gb SSD from them day after thanksgiving for an awesome price. Man I feel old now.
 
Like others, have used them several times for cameras, lens, and associated gear, but never for scopes.

See response above from Scott, because it doesn't get any better than that!
 
B and H is one of the largest, if not the largest camera shop in the country. Anyone that is into cameras know who they are and have probably bought something from them. They are definitely on the up and up. That being said, I think its always better to buy from a board sponsor all else being equal.
 
I've bought a bunch of high end audio/video equipment over the years, always been happy with service and price.

Just ordered one of the new X400 Ultras with green laser and XT07 switch at very attractive prices. Expect the same kind of transaction (the SureFire was a pre-order, and is slipping, but that's not B&H's fault).
 
So I have to add to this post. I did take Scott at Liberty Optics up on his offer. First the communication was awesome, second he answered all of my questions, third I am way happier purchasing with a sponsor. I can not say enough about liberty optics. Thank you, thank you.
