I recently purchased a Bushnell Elite Spotting Scope from Optics Planet, and I am happy to say I was very pleased with the entire process. A friend’s enthusiasm has lately worn off on me and I have just gotten into bird watching. Naturally with my lack of experience, I didn’t quite know what I should be looking for in a spotting scope. Fortunately Optics Planet has product specialists who are real experts, and they guided me in the right direction to find the spotting scope that best suit my applications, experience, and budget. I’m also not a big online shopper (call me old-fashioned), but when you can buy something online for $260 that was originally over $500, it would be crazy not to take the deal! I found the Optics Planet website very easy to browse, and the check-out process was simple even for an old-timer like me. I didn’t have to “sign up” for anything, and payment is guaranteed secure. They also did not charge for shipping, which was fantastic for me! I’ve had my spotting scope now for about 4 weeks and I love it—it has opened up a whole new world of birds to me! I’m extremely happy with my purchase and with the Optics Planet company, and I would definitely shop here again next time I am in the market for birding optics.
