Yes, Amazon rocks. Usually have the best deal. I always check amazon first when I am looking to make a purchased. Great no questions asked return policy as well.
also, Vortex has the lifetime warranty so if there is something wrong with them you can always have them fix them for free. I was worried about the same thing went I bought a scope on there for much cheaper but with so many companies having the warranty it didn't really matter.

Amazon, Paypal, and American express are a damn good trio of advocates should you have issue with a product.

Thanks for the tip. I just found a scope I want for about $50 less than I've been able to find it elsewhere.

Also don't forget to use amazon smile, which gets amazon to donate a portion of your purchase amount to a charity/nonprofit of your choice. I do BHA.

So most medium to high end brands have minimum advertised pricing (MAP) on their products which vendors cant sell below as a way to protect the brand and the margins so dealers don't get into a price shoot and drive the price too low. If a specific dealer gets caught selling below it, the brand company can revoked their dealer account. However, I routinely see Amazon selling below MAP prices. Its not always Amazon specifically as they have a lot of 3rd party dealers that get to set their own pricing and sell using Amazon as the marketplace so it makes it challenging for dealers to find out who exactly it selling at the prices in violation.
The good news for all of us is we can routinely find the best prices on Amazon I normally go into Cabelas to look at the optics in person but I do most of my shopping on Amazon.

Guess there is a reason why Jeff Bezos was/is/was the richest person in the world.
I buy alot of things from Amazon as a prime member. I also have their credit card which gives me 5% back on amazon purchases and 2% on other purchases. Nice to have an extra $40 - $60 at the end of a billing cycle. I also buy everything from thru their donation program smile.amazon.com. Since joining, amazon has given around $60.00 to RMEF on top of what I already give. Watch alot of movies thru the fire stick as well. Love it.
