I've bought a number of things from OP and usually do so when sales are offered and the ever-present coupons. Combined with free shipping, the prices are usually hard to beat. I've never tried calling them though. Be worth a shot. Now that we have the price established, do any of you have experience with this scope? I've read some reviews and most are good. Where there has been a problem, Vortex customer service is reportedly not as good as Leupold, et. al. This Vortex is a China product. Leupold has a sterling reputation and their customer service is top notch. More expensive for sure, but may be worth it.
