Full review
Optics Planet is the first online retailer I go to for all my birding and astronomy optics (I am an experienced hobbyist in both). I’ve compared prices from several different online retailers, and nine times out of ten Optics Planet has the lowest prices. In addition, they offer free shipping on most orders (as long as it’s over $29.95), and frequently offer some excellent combo deals if you’re interested in accessorizing on a significant purchase. Optics Planet’s brand and product lines are generally unparalleled, in my experience. If you’re a sportsman, hunter, or an enthusiast of an optics-related hobby, you understand that quality makes all the difference in the world. Optics Planet has a fine selection of products from hundreds of brands, and it seems there is something to suit any budget. Many high-quality spotting scopes and telescopes are quite expensive, so it is also very reassuring to me to know that the representatives truly understand the products they are selling and can make informed, expert recommendations. I’ve purchased several different items from Optics Planet in a wide price range, and have been treated with respect and importance each time, regardless of how large or small the order. My shipments always arrive quickly, too. I will certainly continue to shop there for my hobby needs in the future.
