Many thanks for all the great information posted here! I’m in the market for a replacement for my old Leica 8x20 Ultravids which were (through my own carelessness) recently stolen. I’ve decided to replace them with the CL 7x21. None of the local Swarovski authorized dealers in town have one and worse, don’t think they could special-order one. As one of the sales reps put it, “We pretty much get what we get and they sell out. Then we wait for the next shipment”
So first off, if this sort of thread violates any rules of Birdforum please let me know and I’ll delete it or let the moderators know to do so. Also, my apologies if this has been discussed before. If it has, please let me know where and I’ll do some more research. My last optic purchase (an EL 8x32) was about 19 years ago so I’m not at all familiar with the current market.
My question is if anyone here can recommend a store or on-line dealer who is an authorized Swaro dealer, who will ship to the U.S. I am in Alaska but except that a lot of the “free shipping” caveats don’t apply here, mail from the “Lower 48” is reliable.
I’ve looked on-line and see the price is pretty uniform, so I’m not looking for a below retail price, just a reliable dealer with a good reputation who’s likely to have a set in-stock.
Thank you in advance.
