Today, we are tackling one of the toughest questions for American gun owners…should I buy a rifle optic on Amazon? Should I buy a red dot on Amazon? Should I buy a rifle scope on Amazon? If you don’t want to read past this, our answer is YES! You absolutely should buy your weapons accessories on Amazon.

Why should you buy your rifle optic on Amazon? Three very simple reasons: 1) Selection, 2) Price, and 3) Return Policy.

Selection

If you want it, Amazon sells it! Full selection of optics from Trijicon, Leupold, Sig Sauer, EOTECH, Aimpoint, Vortex, and so much more! All rifle scopes, red dot sights, and accessories are offered for sale on Amazon from all of the major manufacturers!

Price

Amazon usually has the best price, but they always have price transparency. If you are not a PRIME member, see our guide here on how to get the best price for purchasing on Amazon through their free trials and credit card. Take advantage of shopping from home to compare prices. If its the best price, buy it and enjoy. If it isnt the best price, move on! It saves you the awkward guilt trip of “Do I pay an extra $200 for this to shop a small business?”

Return Policy

Amazon has a best in industry return policy. You can return any product within 30 days for FREE and receive your refund within 3-5 days of their receipt of item. What does this mean for you? You can purchase your desired optic with ZERO risk. If you purchase it and don’t like it, return it or replace it at no cost to you. What this also means is you are protected against any local shops “restock fee” and any manufacturing defects. I know manufacturers offer guarantees on their products, but it is a hassle to contact the manufacturer to try and get anything replaced.
