I'm looking for a Valdada scope, 1.5-8x26 35mm SFP TRIDENT TACTICAL .308 BDC Elevation Knob W/ CQB .223 BDC Reticle, to install on my LaRue 18" 762 PredatAR.  Anybody have a referral for who's got the best price on Valdada scopes?  In addition to the usual suspects, like MidwayUSA (who wants $1,495) I see that someplace called Cactus Tactical has it for $1,399, and Delta 3 Tactical has it listed at $1,360.  

Has anybody done business with either of those 2 places?  Or have a recommendation for some other outfit with a better price?

TIA.  Good Luck and Good Shooting,

Tommy

Optics Planet is a good place to check. Or SWFA.

Thanks for the suggestions.  But Optics Planet apparently doesn't carry the Valdada brand and SWFA has them priced at $1,495.  No experience with Cactus Tactical or Delta Three Tactical?

Good luck and good shooting,

Liberty optics. Scott is the man.

I know D3T does not have live inventory, contact them before placing an order to make sure they have it, most things I've asked them about have been out of stock. If I remember correctly it is a one man operation.

I have had good luck buying from deltaoutdoorsman.com. I purchased the previous generation 1.5-8 valdada scope and a few other items from them a few years ago. Fast shipping, great service. Ceylon Blackwell is the contact, if he doesn't have it in stock, he'll get it from valdada for you. I believe he was or is on this site somewhere. If you search the business name you'll find a thread on the snipers hide forum with many others raving about the quality customer service from Ceylon.
I tried to buy some parts from delta three during the panic and had no luck getting in touch with them. That may have been a consequence of the time period rather than a persistent issue.
Btw deltaoutdoorsman has the scope for 1399$
Best of luck.

Edit: just looked at the delta outdoorsman website and that price includes rings and a free Ior rds red dot as well.

D3T was a pain in the ass to get ahold of when I ordered last... will not again.

Thanks for the recommendation.  You're the second person to point me at Scott.  <G>  But Liberty wants $1,495 for the scope...

Good Luck and Good Shooting,

Thanks for the referral.  Ceylon was very good on the phone, and Delta had the best price that I've found.  The scope is ordered and might even arrive in time for the weekend!  :-)

Thanks to all who made suggestions!

Good Luck and Good Shooting,

Tommy
