My daughter is looking to buy her husband ( my hunting partner and pack mule) a new spotting scope where should we look to find the best prices?

Hit up the small time eBay guys with a personal message. There usually pretty hungry and will negotiate. Paul @ elknut it is a good dude as well.

I've scored some great deals on cameralandny.com as well. Another site you might want to check is opticsplanet.com; they run some good sales every once in a while.

I'd check between Cameraland and Bear Basin Outfitters. Bear Basin will match any authorized dealers prices. I found some company that was selling Swaro EL binos for $600 less than anyone else. I called Bear Basin. They said let us verify they're not gray market and they're an authorized dealer and we'll get back to you. The guy called back and said its legit. I ordered them and he said congrats, you bought them for less than what we paid...

I have also had great dealings with Bear Basin, they are super fair, will match any price, and they don't charge Tax or shipping - that is a huge cost savings on large items. Got my Swaro EL Binos and Swaro Spotter at Bear Basin.

Negative. I'm on hiatus for a
While, new baby, restart schooling, crazy work schedule. I can't really provide the effort to help folks like I use to. Hung up the hat for a bit. May return at a later date. But plate is full at the moment.

I think B&H photo is very competitive on most items and have bought numerous optics from them
