We make shipments to them all the time. Which optic is it specifically though? If it's the StrikeFire I know those are on back-order right now because we are out, but we should be shipping more early to mid June.

On the upside, the Strikefire is so popular (as well it should be) that even the manufacturer has run out of units!

It's a strikefire.




But I guess I can wait until mid June!

They are out of the SPARC as well. They said up to 10 business days to get more in stock as of Thur, May 20th.

I was hoping to have it for a Memorial Day weekend shoot.

ETA: Thanks to Valley Armory for getting a SPARC out to me in time for my shoot. You guys rock.

Sam,

Opticsplanet is now saying their backorder for the SPARC is two weeks longer than they originally told me (June 11th). Are you guys out of those as well as the Strikefire?

I believe that we are shipping more SPARCs out today or tomorrow, but I am not sure about allocation. I would give the sales staff a call at 1-800-426-0048 and they should at least be able to tell you if we just shipped some to Optics Planet or not. But as far as where you are on Optics Planet's backorder list, only they would be able to tell you that.



I hope this helps. If there's anything else you need let me know. Thank you!

Sam,

Thanks for the information.

Opticsplanet told me the June 11th date was an estimation given to them by Vortex. But if you are sending them shipments regularly then obviously that's not true.

If I order directly from your distributor network on your site, will I be able to get one sent to me right away? If so I may just spend the additional $16 just so I don't have to wait a month.

ETA: Nevermind Sam. I found another source that has it in stock.

How are you getting it $16 cheaper at optics planet? I see the same price in both places, $199. Is there a optics planet coupon code?

Yes, I used a 5% off coupon code. Do a search for "optics planet coupon". There are a few of them.

With the 5% off, it brings the cost down to 189.99. Optics Planet has free shipping on most orders over $29.95, so your total is $189.99.

If you purchase through Vortex's distributor network, you pay the full $199 and have to pay approximately $6 or $7 in shipping. So in total it's about $16 more compared to OP.

this is the discount code i used


bx5sm9g





after you put the optic in the "cart" go to checkout and you can apply the discount code about 2/3 the way down the page!








eta: just checked it and it still works
