Has anyone in the ob dealt with the website binocularsnscopes.com? I am interested in purchasing a Trijicon ACOG from the website but do not know if I can trust the website. Sure do not want to be scammed out of my money. Any help would be appreciated.

Do they take PayPal? If so you can't lose any money.

If they take PayPal the buyer is safe since PayPal will refund 100% of any transaction if you get screwed over.

Thanks. I did not think about them taking PayPal. Definitely makes me think twice about it since they do not take it as payment.

Just bought my ACOG from gunbroker. Also check BotachTactical. They normally have good prices.

Unless something has changed, you wont find paypal on a site that has anything to do with guns. Paypal is very anti guns and will not allow its use in the sale of firearms or accessories at a commercial level.

BotachTactical is well known for shitty to non existent customer service and has fricked quite a few people over. I hate when I see a good deal and then realizes its at Botach. I will never deal with them based solely on their reputation.

I have bought several scopes and gun parts off of Opticsplanet.com.

Nothing but good things to say about their shipping times and prices.

I agree with optics planet. I recently ordered a mount from there and had no trouble. Very quick shipping.

I just checked optics planet. They accept PayPal on orders through their website. You are correct though, not many of the websites do.

Bank of America is anti gun as well. Nothing to do with optics but a FYI. They closed their account with McMillian a few months back. I previously did not do business with them prior to this but I will not in the future either.
