Came across this site, http://aaoptics.com/ they sell refurbished Vortex bible,scopes,rangefinders,etc....They only ship within the states but I am only 30 minute drive from the border where there is a postbox service so that’s not an issue.They day that they are still covered under Vortex warranty which is kinda surprising.
Anyone have any thoughts or experience with something like this?Just curious if it seems too good to be true?For the amount I use a spotting scope the price definitley seems right.

Thanks guys

Interesting website. The prices, once converted to Canadian, seem to be about what used Vortex products are worth. I wonder if they buy a bunch from Vortex for resale.

Example: 11-33 x 50 razor for $450 x 1.3 = $585. I bought the same from an HBC member with tripod for about $100 more. Seems reasonable, but they don’t ship to Canada.

Yeah,I was thinking the same as far as the prices being the same as used here,only advantage being that you don’t have to wait for something to come along because they have selection on hand is all.

Wouldn't hurt to email Vortex and make sure it's legit.

Be careful on what scopes you take out of the USA. ITAR contolled item. https://www.opticsplanet.com/export.html
