| I'm going to make a drive down to the Madison area to visit Vortex Optics in Middleton tomorrow. Anything else of interest in the area before I head back home? |

In Middleton itself... this is a pretty neat park http://www.pheasantbranch.org/
They have a big Indian Mound there. ETA - made link hot. |

Go to the opposite end of the building and checkout Eagle Optics for binos and spotting/telescopes. Great place to checkout nice stuff. Awesome. Thanks! They've recently remodeled. The new offices/showroom now have most of their scopes and binos. Pretty cool office. I second stopping at PT Firearms. They're about 5 minutes down the road from Vortex. Ask Jimmy, or Tom, Shamus, etc.. they all know where it's at. |

I live in Middleton and had no idea Vortex was in Middleton. When cruising around town, I always see the same truck with a vortex sticker on it, always just thought it was a hunter or something. Now I know better after looking them up to see where they are located. I need to stop in there some day and check it out. Do they just charge MSRP at the showroom?

The WI Veterans Museum is pretty cool, and the Vilas Zoo is a pretty damn good zoo considering it's free to get in. +1000 The Veterans Museum is a must see. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to get through the Iraq/Afganistan section without it getting too "dusty" in there and I have to go outside for some fresh air.

Unique may be able to chime in here, since I have not been in there since the remodel, but historically you could not purchase direct from the showroom. It was either through a dealer or distribution. I am unclear about their current policy. Either way it is a great way to actually look through the optics they have so you can make an informed decision. |

They charge less than MSRP. I believe they only charge MAP pricing there. |
