Return Conditions

Items must be returned in NEW (unused, untested, and resalable) condition, in the original manufacturer packaging, with all accessories, kit components, promotional items and instruction manuals included. For your protection, items must be returned shipping prepaid, insured for the full value and safely wrapped to prevent shipping damage.

Items that have been used by the customer or items that have been damaged by use cannot be returned to us. We also cannot accept returns on orders where a promotional item has not been returned with the order. For example, if you bought an item that came with free extra batteries or a telescope that came with a free cover. These ‘extras’ must be included with your return to qualify for a full refund.

When repacking an item for return, please be sure to include all the free and promotional items that came with your order as well as all applicable accessories and literature. Generally, as a “rule-of-thumb" you should return the items to us the same way we sent them to you - in the same condition and with all the original contents. If a promotional item is missing, its value will be added to the original price you paid for the order, thus reducing the amount of the refund, if such is issued.

We do not accept returns on customized orders such as custom rifle scopes or prescription eyewear. Please see Return Policy Exceptions for more information on non-returnable items.

Restocking Fees

There is no restocking fee for returns of unopened, unused, and untested items returned within 30 days. This means that an item must be in sellable as new condition.  Please keep in mind that restrictions apply (see Return Policy Exceptions for more details). We reserve the right to refuse to issue credit for any item that has been used, misused or damaged. We also reserve the right to charge a restocking fee of up to 15% on returns of opened, used, or damaged products. We also reserve the right to charge the restocking fee for exchanges and returns that don’t follow our Return and Exchange Instructions or for high-value items of $1,000 and up. Additional fees may apply if the item is not returned in its original packaging.

The restocking fee may be waived if you place a replacement order of equal or greater value at our online store at the time of return, not necessarily for the same item.

Exchanges

If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, we will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. Please return the item to us within 30 days of purchase and you will not be charged restocking fees, provided the item is in NEW (unopened, unused, untested and resalable) condition and it does not fall into our Return Policy Exceptions category.
If an item is defective, it can be returned for an exchange within 30 days of purchase, outside the 30 days the manufacturer must be contacted directly for a replacement.

Exchanges In Case Of Shipping Damage

If an item comes damaged as a result of shipping, please see Shipping Damage and Lost Packages Policy for more information.
